Oct 13, 2018 1) The Database Manager has nothing to do with the installation of an Airac Cycle. 2) How the Navigraph FMS data manager works can be read in the Navigraph FMS data manager manual. In any case, the data of the Airac Cycle must be installed in the subfolder /Database of the FlightSim Commander. Regards, Volker. Jan 26, 2020 Login to Navigraph, choose Manual Install, scroll down to X-Plane 11 - native. and download the file, (note 2001 is the AIRAC cycle). Unzip the contents to your X-Plane Custom Data folder. If the Custom Data folder is empty (ignore the GNS folder for the moment) it will install the CIFP folder and the txt/dat/index files.
The right locations for AIRAC data
I switched to Ubuntu LTS 18.04 for my X-Plane 11 installation this weekend, because the B748 EFB isn’t working on my Windows 10 installation anymore. I have to look into that. This is just a quick writeup on how to update the navigation data for X-Plane 11 and SSG’s B748 FMC.
- X-Plane is looking at
<X-Plane root>/Custom Data
- The B748 FMC is lookin at
<X-Plane root>/Custom Data/UFMC
; you might need to create theUFMC
folder
Because I have a Navigraph subscription, I can use the Navigraph FMS Data Manager to update the AIRAC data in these folders. I have created 2 Addon Mappings for these 2 applications, with the folders specified as above. The scanning of software and plugins doesn’t really work for me in the sense that it detects too much and that some things are not detected. I’m only flying with the B748 freighter, so I don’t care about the rest.
How to create the right addon mappings
- Download and install Navigraph FMS Data Manager on your system
- Start the program and navigate to Addon Mappings
- Create a new mapping for X-Plane (in the pulldown list) and choose
<X-Plane root>/Custom Data
as the user defined folder (<X-Plane root>
is the main X-PLane folder) - Create a new mapping for SSG Boeing 748i, E-jets Evolution (in the pulldown list) and choose
<X-Plane root>/Custom Data/UFMC
as the user defined folder - Click Save
- Go to Addon List
- Check the global checkbox and select Update, both should be updated
Verifying the AIRAC version
- For X-Plane, select the default 747 and start a new flight. Click on the FMC, hit
<STATUS
and the following screen should tell you that you’ve installed the right AIRAC data. - For the B748 FMC, select the B748 and start a new flight. Click on the FMC, hit
<FMC
and check the AIRAC version.
