Default GPS Intersections Aug 1, 2018 17:04:46 GMT

Post by Deleted on Aug 1, 2018 17:04:46 GMT

After updating using your software it seems that most areas and airports have been updated. There are a many newer fixes that do not show up. I have the intersection file at the top of my scenery library. An example is the intersection parqr near Charlotte. I do have the add on scenery for Charlotte by Dreamteam. Another example is Dreamteam addon area near KIAH where intersection bowfn does not appear in default GPS

Other newer fixes in Denver for example where i have the add on scenery (Flightbeam) do appear as do newer ones near default airports.
If I use an aircraft with payware FMC (ie QW757) that intersection (parqr) and all others show as I have the updated 1808 databasew navigraph.

Is this a function of using the add on scenery that cannot be helped? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello,

PARQR as well as BOWFN exist in the latest waypoint database (they are defined in the NorthAmericaINT.bgl file)
Both show on the map as well as on the GPS screen
However, indeed I also cannot select them (as for ex on a DIRECT TO) in the default GPS although they are listed in the NRST intersections. I presume it is the problem you mention.
We have had such problems with a few waypoints in the past without any definitive explanation
In some cases it could be due to lack of proper reindexing of the sim data after the new BGL files were added
You may try forcing reindexing just by going in the World/Scenery Library menu and clicking OK (without making any change in the selection)
However, it didn't work for me in this particular case.
I'm sorry I cannot help further on. Will come back on this thread if I find the reason.

Hervé

You're welcome
Users having similar problems may have a look to this discussion on the FSDeveloper forum

www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/navigation-database-update.443297/

In this particular case, problem was solved by just forcing reindexing
Seems it is effective for intersections provided in new ATX files (as contained in the World Navaids package for Europe region) but not always for new intersection files I provide for the rest of the world
Note it only affects some GPS functions (such as the DCT TO) but not ISEC display on GPS screen and map view
Feel free to share your experience and/or explanations you may have here
