bsal 38 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 For some reason the A318-A321 FSX 32bit has a problem finding some approach transitions in the database. For example at Salzburg LOWS the RNAV33-Z both approach VIAS (KONUG) and (ETROK) don't show up in the VIAS page of the FMGC. I checked the PROC text file in navdatapro and they are included in the data. Your competitors navigraph airac works fine for this approach. I did notice they are coded differently in the text file, navdatapro use a 'H' while navigraph uses the traditional 'R' to denote an RNAV approach. I suspect this maybe the problem. Can this be looked into please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsal 38 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thanks Mathijs hopefully it can be fixed because I really prefer using LIDO navdata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsal 38 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hi Mathijs I did some more investigating on the issue, for testing I changed the 'H' designator to 'R' in the PROC text file and all the RNAV procedures worked as expected. It seems LIDO uses 'H' for all RNP approaches in the database whle navigraph (Jepessen) uses 'R' for all RNAV and RNP. If you could have Lufthansa data system use an R instead of H that would fix the issue, or this is a long shot a hotfix for the 32bit bus so it understands that 'H' is also an RNAV or RNP approach.

srcooke 421 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 For the LOWS RNP AR 33 approach I believe you will find the ARINC 424 code is indeed 'H' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsal 38 Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 I know it is suppose to be coded as 'H' but the 32bit airbus won't see the VIAS in the FMGC if it's coded with a 'H', I think that's why navigraph still use 'R' for all RNAV/RNP procedures for this aircraft and it works. Hopefully they can change it to 'R' just for this aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsal 38 Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 Any news from Lufthansa data systems yet on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted March 16, 2020 Aerosoft Share Posted March 16, 2020 No, but if something will chance it will always take some time. They do not edit these databases willy nilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsal 38 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hi Mathijs just wondering does Lufthansa compile the data into 'flightsim addon' text files and send it to you guys or does someone at Aerosoft compile the data so addons can read/understand the data? To make LIDO airac work fully correct in the FSX airbus only RNAV/RNP procedures need to be changed from 'H' to 'R' type in the PROC text files. Wondering if you could ask whoever compiles the airac for this addon to make the change? Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsal 38 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Do the people at Lufthansa systems even read the emails you send? Why do they offer such a product if they have zero support for it. Have they communicated with you at all on this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs masterhawk 799 Posted November 14, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 14, 2020 At the end the LIDO AIRINC code is correct. The problem is how our FMS does read the code. As the 32bit is old it might be, that it just doesn’t know the H. Edit: What we talk about is an RNP AR approach. The 32bit Airbus doesn't support that kind of approaches, even if you can select it partial. To fly an RNP AR approach the bus also needs the LDEV indication. We have that in the professional Version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
