[MCDU, departure and arrival]

Hi Johan,

Yes - "Does the new airbus use this navigraph Database for reading all the waypoints?". You can manully enter the waypoint into the MCDU.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your response. Then the new airbus is indeed suited for IVAO and VATSIM users. That's great news!!!

Best regards,

It is usable on IVAO and VATSIM!

As it uses a navigraph Database for the Waypoitns you can enter all the waypoints of a SID STAR or Transition into the MCDU

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your answer! I have been reading on this forum and I see that the navigraph database has been a big isue on this forum before.

Some people talk about the 'generic navigraph Database', which is called 'Cheyenne/Fokker/Mustang/Super 80 Professional' in the navigraph distribution and which is located in directory x:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Navigraph\Navdata.

Does the new airbus use this navigraph Database for reading all the waypoints? In that case the new airbus can be used for IVAO and VATSIM users, only a little bit more effort has to be done for the programming in the MCDU.

Best regards,

Johan

And it is not possible to select the runway, as we do not support SIDs and STARs that simply make little sense. It also decided because we want to stay on the default flight plan format of FSX

Dear Mathijs,

Why do 'SIDs and STARs make little sense'? When you fly on IVAO the runway for ILS approach and the STAR to be used are communicated during flight, so they have to be entered in the MCDU during the flight. When the new airbus is not capable to use SIDs and STARs, it will be useless for VATSIM and IVAO users. This is really very pity!

Or is there an alternative way to enter the waypoints from the STAR during flight.
