lschechter 0 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 good morning I'm having an issue with my MCDU 1. When I input any airport in the MCDU I'm getting a response that it's not in the database. I tried several different ones and all are reporting the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 15, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 15, 2016 Can you please post a screenshot of the initial MCDU screen after powering up, or the DATA - A/C STATUS page?

lschechter 0 Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hello again Here's two screenshots. One of the mcdu page as it looks initially. The second is the Init page. I properly keyed in airport ICAO codes but no luck. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 17, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 17, 2016 There is no navigation database configured. Please start the Airbus configurator (as administrator) and select the database provider you are using (NavDataPro or Navigraph). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschechter 0 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Oh, I didn't realize I needed a 3rd party database. No prob. I checked Navigraph and it looks good. Where to I find the Airbus configurator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschechter 0 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hey again Tom I've purchased a subscription to Navigraph so I can have an airport database for my Airbus A319, 320 program. I'm trying to run the airbus configurator on my machine but when I hit the start button I get the message sharedconfig.cfg no in c:\users\home\documents\airbus\ folder. Now I bought the Aerosoft A319, 320 program and the configurator looks like it's for the AirbusX software. Is it just for that or both? If it is for both what do I need to do to get rid of the message? If it's just for airbusX, do I need to run the configurator in order to get the airports into the plane's database?

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 19, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 19, 2016 The configurator configures both packages. You should run the configurator to make sure that the navdata provider is configured properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschechter 0 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Morning Tom I tried to run the configurator but as I mentioned in the previous post it's saying the sharedconfig.cfg is missing when I click the start button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted September 19, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 19, 2016 Seems as if a lot of things went wrong with your installation: As the Airbus comes per default with a navigation database (NavdataPro) you shouldn't get at all what you see in your scrennshot above. And the sharedconfig.cfg is installed per default. You can add it manually by simpy creating an empty file with this name in the mentioned directory. But as there seem some other problems with your installation I did like you to check the following: In your FSX root directory you should have the following folders: - ..:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Aerosoft\Airbus A318_A319 - ...\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Aerosoft\Airbus A320_A321 - ...\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Aerosoft\Airbus_Fallback The last folder should have at least 2 subfolder - NavdataPro - TerrainOnND Make a screenshot of the content of the folder NavdataPro and post it here Also post a screenshot of the folder content from ...users\YOUR_USERNAME\My Documents\Aerosoft\Airbus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschechter 0 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Okay. I'll post these this afternoon when I get home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschechter 0 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 good morning mopperle Per your request I have included the screenshots. Just for giggles I reinstalled the program but the .cfg file is still missing. Also, during the installation I saw that it was loading NavData data so I don't understand why the airports aren't coming up. I also checked again and see the .cfg file is still missing. I tried creating one in the appropriate directory by using but it was showing up as a txt file. How can I create the file so that it shows as a .cfg file. I Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 20, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 20, 2016 I have no idea why, but you are missing at least two files in your Documents\Aerosoft\Airbus\ folder: NavData.ini SharedConfig.cfg You say, you have re-installed the bus again. Have you done that according to this step by step guide: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lschechter 0 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Morning Tom I haven't used that guide, just ran the default installation. I'll try your guide next. If that doesn't work can I just put in the the .cfg and .ini files you show in your previous post? And if I can, where would I put them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 20, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 20, 2016 That was the idea why I put them there Just place them into the Documents\Aerosoft\Airbus\ folder (as written above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you go over to the diverse section and see if you can't take another crack as to why my align won't work in the cold and dark setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
