gevan 0 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi all, I have the PFPX v2.03 & TOPCAT v2.74 with their AIRAC 1906 respectively. When I'm doing the flight plan, it correctly gives me the runways: 18's, 36's, 32's and 14's (they're correct) but when using the "performance" tool (to obtain the values for 'takeoffs' and 'landings'), it doesn't allow me to choose tracks 32's and 14's, instead show me 33's and 15's (that's incorrect). In TOPCAT, the runways are correct, so I don't know where can be the issue; I need a little help to solve this error. PS. I don't remember what other airports happened to me and that is why I want to correct it for future inconveniences. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

srcooke 422 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 How was the update of Topcat achieved, direct install from the NG installer or via import ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gevan 0 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 It was by import, I installed directly with the file "topcat_1906.exe", so I have done it for years and until now I had this issue. Greetings Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 You are using the manual installer to place Database.tdb file directly in default C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\TOPCAT path ? Could you post a snapshot of that folder including the date modified stamp. Also snapshot the root installation folder of Topcat ( default \Program Files (x86)\TOPCAT) You may need to try reinstalling Topcat but if so backup your aircraft data using the 'save' function first.

Thanks again Stephen, greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks, that is the Topcat installation folder. On my systems the active database in is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\TOPCAT It would appear that for some reason PFPX and Topcat are not using the same database, check the path above.

Please login to display this image. Oh, I'm sorry, I posted the wrong picture. Please login to display this image. Now looking the date in the "Database.tdb" file, it's different from the one installed in each update. When installing the update from the 'Settings' menu within 'TOPCAT', I always choose the path "E:\INSTALLED PROGRAMS SSD480\TOPCAT" and not "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\TOPCAT", this would it be the problem? Because in the TOPCAT interface, it appears to me that I'm using the "AIRAC 1906", it's weird. The recommendation that you would make me would be to reinstall the TOPCAT completely or just update the "AIRAC" in the path of your image? Thanks Stephen.

srcooke 422 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 It is certainly the root of your problem, Topcat should be using database located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\TOPCAT As I cannot replicate that here lets uninstall Topcat via windows control panel, make sure E:\INSTALLED PROGRAMS SSD480\TOPCAT is removed. Reinstall and update the database making sure that the NG install path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\TOPCAT Check Topcat for the correct AIRAC cycle.
