Nav database

Post by ega » Tue Jun 11, 2019 10:54 am

I noticed that the installed navigation database for the PC-6 is cycle 1703.
Is it possible to update this database?

Thanks

FSAerodata uses Navigraph data to update the P3D internal AIRAC. But you have to buy both payware products (Navigraph + FSAerodata).

Thanks Mathias.
If I use Navigraph (plan to get it soon) is there a database specific to the Porter or does it share the database with another aircraft (I do also own the B737-200)?

Thanks

If you're using the standard or MilViz GPS, they both rely on the P3D internal database.
This may be updated via FSAerodata (waypoints & procedures). It is a seperate provider. You'll need both a Navigraph and FSAerodata account and pay for both. Haven't tested it with the MilViz GPS though, as I use the GTN.

F1 GTN/GNS cannot be updated, at least if you don't like to buy a real dataset and money doesn't matter.. ;)
