cubpilot Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 1. Is AIRAC 1103 the free cycle for EFB or is there a later version? 2. Do you recommend buying updated cycles from Navagraph? 3. How do AIRACS help/improve FSX? Just for info: Most of my "flying" involves following proper procedures, using instruments, etc. Thanks in advance Neal H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Neal, the "free" AIRAC cycle which is included in the 1.3.1 setup, is cycle 1101. If you're flying online, then it seems to be somehow necessary to have the most recent cycle. It you don't fly online, it's up to you whether you like to have the most recent procedures. AIRAC cycles (from Navigraph) provide all the procedures data (Standard Instrument Departure Routes (SID), Standard Terminal Arrival Routes (STAR), and also approach procedures to approx. 3'500 airports worldwide. These are all IFR procedures, none of them is VFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG_Flyer Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Neal, In addition to what Urs wrote, if you use "complex" aircraft (CaptainSim, feelThere, iFly, Level-D, PMDG, etc.) or "complex" add-ons such as VoxATC or the ISG FMC/gauges then you might want to ensure that all of your add-ons have the same AIRAC cycle. How current you want to maintain them would be up to you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
