PayPal is one of the biggest financial institutions in the World, I've personally spent many thousands of pounds with them over the last 10 years or more, I actually trust them more than I do my bank. You don't have to have a PayPal account to pay for something through them, they do one off transactions too just like any other company such as Worldpay for example.

Worked for me, what is the problem?

Open the AFCAD of the airports in question in ADE9X (choose FSX mode when you start ADE) and change nothing at all, then simply Compile the AFCAD replacing the original file. It's now FSX compatible and EFB will be able to read it when you run another database update. See if that fixes the issue, if not then I'll defer to someone else.

Check that the AFCADS for the airports in question are not in FS9 format (you will be surprised how many developers are using the same AFCAD in both FS9 and FSX), if they are then EFB cant read them.

You aren't doing anything wrong, I can answer your PMDG SIDS and STARS question. Basically PMDG asked Aivlasoft and other similar vendors to remove the facility to import S&S into PMDG aircraft because it would crash their NGX FMC sometimes. So rather than waste a lot of time fixing the problem they asked vendors to stop supporting that facility because they say it's not done like that in real life anyway, or words to that effect, which isn't always true, but whatever, lol.

Try running the airport AFCAD (for this addon airport) through ADE9X, simply open it with that program (in FSX mode) but do not change anything, then compile the AFCAD and it will now be saved in FSX format. EFB at this time cannot read AFCADs that are designed for FS2004 and that is the primary reason for the mismatch between what you see in EFB and what is in FSX. The next most obvious reason is that the scenery database hasn't been run but you should get a warning in EFB for such mismatches, plus you already said you ran an update so it won't be that.

Over the years I read about a lot of bad side effects to using these updated mag dev files, I think there is even a huge thread discussing it at the AVSIM PMDG support forum. Personally I give it a miss as it doesn't really add that much to the suspension of disbelief that is flight simulator.

I think this is the same problem and solution here; viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1093

AFX is ok, but it was known for not strictly sticking to the FSX SDK and this sometimes caused problems of its own. If you have problems try opening the file you just adjusted with AFX in ADE 9X and then do a validation check on it and it should tell you if there are any errors..... you will probably find quite a few. It has been years since I used AFX so they may have changed their ways and actually fixed those errors now.

Start ADE9X (from ScruffyDuck) and select FSX at startup when you are asked which simulator you want to deal with, then open the BGL and compile it and that's it, it's now converted to FSX format.

Have you checked that you don't have another LEAL active somewhere, like for example in the MyTrafficX scenery folder? I know FSX is supposed to be smarter than that and its supposed to take the library order into account and which ever AFD is nearer the top of the list should get priority, but its another buggy area of FSX and its AI engine. EDIT: Even a duplicate in the same scenery folder as Eiresims AFD can cause problems sometimes, although then alphabetical/numerical order is then taken into account and I think A's and 1's get priority. Supposedly

Please search the forum for EGCC using the search facility in the top right corner of the page, this question comes up every month or two

No that is not currently possible in EFB.

Yes Jerry that's what I meant.

The NGX doesn't support automatic loading of flight plans at all.

Try dropping the attached file into the Alamty Scenery folder and see if it works with EFB now. There are no approaches saved in the AFCAD, but it may just use the default ones if there are any. Don't forget to run another library update.

Have a look at the data provider window there are probably some errors there.

I'm not sure Pete, I think the version that comes free with the photoscenery is dumbed down quite a bit and not the same as the version you can buy seperately of the airport on its own from Eiresim.

I see 111.5 too, but my version of EIDW is the slightly improved airport that came free with the Playsims Ireland photo scenery.

To paste a route open the "select" dialogue again (where you go to select "route finder") then paste into the large pane at the bottom that says "enter route description"

I see the same thing too. It was OK a few days ago when I last used it.

If you are using the default SCEL it would appear that FSX only has a representation of runway 17/35, the navdata says that there are runways 17L 17R 35L 35R, so there is a mismatch between the navdata from Navigraph and what is available in the sim. Urs will have to advise you from here.

Have you run a scenery database update with the data provider?

It's in multiple places on the approach plate, take a look at the plate below from a screenshot on the website and you will see it highlighted in an info bubble on the moving map section and again near the top left of the page where it says LOC IDP, LOC = localiser and IDP is the ident code for that particular ILS.

Thanks for the update Oliver and you are welcome.
