LIML NOT IN DATABASE

[pete_fuss]

Hello,
i use the last Version from FMGS B60.0.6 and the newest AIRAC Version 2401 Rev 1 from Navigraph.
Yesterday I wanted to take a flight from LIML Milano Linate to LOWI Innsbruck. I created and downloaded a flight plan in Simbrief. Then I wanted to load it as usual in the MCDU but the orange lettering on the left side of the sec flight plan to actived did not appear. I made a new flight plan with a different destination, the same phenomenon. then I searched for the next airport via the data button, and the message "Not in Database" appeared. then I checked the FSScenery.cfg and had the nav data recreated, but LIML is not in the database. I also cannot say which version of FMGS or which AIRAC was last used when i see LIML in the database. Switching the Airac in the MCDU did not help either. Do you have the same problem? Or where else can I look to see what could be the cause?

I have LIML available. No issues with selecting it in the MCDU.

Latest AIRAC from Navigraph.

Hah!

I need to correct myself.
I was experiencing some other ILS glidepath problems and recompiled the navdata. After that I also could not enter LIML!

However it is strange, that it was there before. I didn't change the AIRAC, nor the FMGS version.
The only difference was, when it worked, I've been at LFMN. After recompilation I've been at EDDL. But I don't believe, this plays a role. But would have to test again to ensure.

Hi

I just checked. There was a runway numbering change in LIML a few months ago, the main runway went from 18/36 to 17/35. Unfortunately, there is an old decommissioned runway in LIML which is 17/35 also in P3D. The navdata compilation is thus mistakenly using that one, which is too small to appear as a valid runway.
There are a few options for users:

1. Update P3D with Hervé Sors's fix (with P3D V4 this is easy, with V5 it might be possible to ask him by mail the fix files, with V6 I have no idea)
2. Update P3D by manually changing the BGL files (using ADE)
3. Force the runway using the following instructions.



Forcing a runway:
1. In c:\A320FMGS\navdata on FMGS Server PC, create a file called modILS.ini
2. Copy the following content in modILS.ini:

Code: Select all

[RWY.0]
ID=17
ARPT=LIML
lat1=45.4562156540325
lon1=9.27586704016379
lat2=45.4343119370768
lon2=9.27822709559747
DTHR=0
[RWY.1]
ID=35
ARPT=LIML
lat1=45.4343119370768
lon1=9.27822709559747
lat2=45.4562156540325
lon2=9.27586704016379
DTHR=0

3. open c:\A32FMGS\navdata\FSscenery.cfg and check the line

Code: Select all

modpath=C:\A320FMGS\Navdata\modILS.ini

If the line is not existing, create it. if it exists, make sure it is the correct path for modILS.ini file.

Hello JL,
i have done this workaround with the modils.ini and rebuild the navdata, but LIML is still not there

[pete_fuss]

Hello JL,

first the renaming of the runway in ADE has fixed this problem!
I use the jetstream liml scenery and there i reworked the LIML_ADEP5.bgl.
i will send Hervé Sors's a mail for the user that have the stock liml airport
Thanks for your help

For those who don't want to play with ADE, you can try the method with modILS.ini and this corrected navdb.dll:

I can confirm that the problem with the ini file has been fixed by Jean Luc. Thank you.
