qqwertzde Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi, I just wanted to report a small issue with LRIA. The file LRIA.txt contains two approaches (ILS15, NDB15), which are displayed on the FMC of the Majestic Dash8 Q400. However, no approach is shown in EFB. I use the latest AIRAC cycle (1513). It might be worth to note that EFB reports a runway assignment problem (Navigation data runway ident 14/32 could not be assigned to simulator runway). EFB displays 15/33 instead. I use P3D 3.0 and have no addon scenery installed in this area except for FTX Global. I ran Simulator scenery update only a few days ago.

aivlasoft Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi Peter, did you already read this post from the FAQ? I guess that it will answer your question. http://aivlasoft.ipbhost.com/index.php?/topic/1195-runwaystxt-runway-identifiers-are-greyed-out/ It's also described in detail in the manual.

qqwertzde Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi Urs, thanks for pointing this out. I had quite a few runway misalignments over the years, but never bothered very much about it and clicked OK instead of editing Runways.txt. Of course, adding the lines LRIA 14 15 LRIA 32 33 CYFB 16 17 CYFB 34 35 (I had a recent misalignment at CYFB as well) stopped EFB from reporting a runway assignment problem. However, that was not the actual issue that I wanted to report, and that issue has not been resolved by editing Runways.txt. In EFB\Navdata\Navigraph FMS Data\SIDSTARS\LRIA.txt you can find an APPROACH ILS15 and an APPROACH NDB15. However, neither is displayed on the EFB approach page. While I have seen many misalignment, I have never seen that EFB doesn't display an approach that is contained in Navigraph data. That's why I reported this.

aivlasoft Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi Peter, could it be that the airport scenery fro LRIA does not have an ILS for runway 15? EFB does not show ILS procedures if the corresponding runway has no ILS. On my system the NDB14 approach is shown, whereas the ILS14 not, because there is no ILS at this runway (in stock scenery). BTW, for stock scenery, I had to add the following two lines to the runways.txt file: LRIA 15 14LRIA 33 32 Second column is the old FSX identifier, the third column is the new navigation data identifier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qqwertzde Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi Urs, you are correct, the ILS approach is not implemented in P3D 3.1. Funny that I could select it in the Q400 FMC Conclusion: though shall not doubt EFB because it is right (almost) every time Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
