Blackbird Sims / Milviz Forum Archive

I have been trying to update my Navagraph AIRAC for two days. I have located the Navigraph text file and have manually entered the pathway - with no luck. This morning I planned on flying my first cross country. I could not make the Act/Flpn past the first waypoint. No matter how I entered the first waypoint (CABUS), it gave two entries, both were like 5 to 7Ks distance when it is actually 25nm. So, I know the AIRAC is out of date, but have no idea if this is a FMS problem. Yesterday, I did my first flight (no FMS). Departed KBOI 10R . Flew around awhile. Finally intercepted the 10R LOC and shot the approach into KBOI. Seemed to work fine although it seems all the PFD buttons do not work. I would just like to get my AIRACS updated. Then I'll find out if I can enter a flight plan into the FMS.

I updated the AIRAC by doing a manual install of if. Go to the Navigraph website, and sign in. At the top, click on the products tab, and on the right side under the product banner, click on Manuel Install. Scroll down to the Milviz King Air and click download. When it is done, run the installer and it should download it. Just confirm in the sim on the FMS that the current AIRAC is up to date.
I also havn't been able to get it updated through the manager, so there must be an issue there.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I deleted the "old" navigationdata.mdb inside the FMS-3000 folder, then it worked with the manager.

I always install a new aircraft into Navigraph Manually. I usually install it as follows: C:\\Lockheed Martin\ P3d\Milviz\ FMS300. This file reflects a cycle_info.txt file which reflects I have AIRAC 1913 . Also, this txt file is reflected in my SimObjects\Airplanes\MyKA350i. You guessed it - it also reflects the Current AIRAC as 1913. Unfortunately, when you open this KA the status page reflects only the old AIRAC file as somehow it is not communicating with the Navigraph file. To say the least, I am somewhat disappointed in this software; however, I feel Milviz will straighten it out. In the mean time, I've put too much time into it as is, and will wait for the updates. Thanks for your advice, Mike

For me worked running it manually. Thanx for the tip
