Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Ernie,

I had a nice surprise in my mailbox from Navigraph late Wednesday. Congrats!

I d/l'ed and installed the new dataset... but I'm not sure if the Smiths has registered it yet.

Should the new .txt files be renamed - prepending "isg_" to them - or is something else in the offing??

Regards,

I have them working in the Smiths FMS by adding that isg_ prefix (I think the _awy also file needed renaming to something else) and so far it works very well. Although all I have tried is programing the FMS on the ground, I've not tried flying the sim with it yet... I have also NOT tested whether the 'full' data can be read - ie intersection XANUT etc.

One assumes that either Navigraph have mis-named the files (unlikely) or that there will be an update to the ISG1 gauges to fix various issues and to read the newly named nav data... (changing the names of the data files at the same time as an update is actually quite neat as it ensures that users update their setups)

Now, looking forward to that update ...

EDIT. With the new data XANUT, VAVOS, VEKUV etc are not available as DIRECT waypoints as before (this is not a surprise since the gauges are not updated yet)

You are correct, we changed the name for ver 1.7.

They will probably work with 1.6 if you use the old isg_ prefix, but not completely, there are some additional items in the Navdata that are supported in ver 1.7, like psuedo waypoints and Dme arcs.

Ver 1.7 is almost ready it should be available in a day or so.

Regards.
Ernie.

Thanks Geoff and Ernie,

I'll copy and rename for the interim and will gladly await updates for ISG (and pick up FSBuild).
