losing procedure in xplane 12 #1101

Closed Eyderoe closed 3 months ago

Eyderoe commented 3 months ago

Dear Albar965, I met lossing procedures in xp12 which might due to difference between xplane internal ident and ICAO ident.

software version list below: lmn 3.0.3.rc1 64-bit lmn-navdata AIRAC2312 xp12 12.0.9-rc-5 (just download from steam, without any addon) xp12-navdata AIRAC2312

for example in ZUTF: setting like this and i cant get any procedure only after active some or all of navigraph features I can get procedures

although this can solve problem but this will lossing the procedures edit by myself so still hope to fix it I notice there's a issue similar to this ,and seem that it has been solved. https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues/448 and I also ask in group, only i have this problem

hope: use ICAO ident to read from xplane default navdata folder If you could solve the problem I will be appreciate it

I see this here too. Will fix for next 3.0.X update.

The problem is that the X-Plane ident XZ0015 does not resolve to ZUTF. This is then already a problem in the X-Plane scenery library. There is a file CIFP/ZUTF.dat but no airport with this internal ident.

You can rename your own CIFP/ZUTF.dat to CIFP/XZ0015.dat which might fix the issue. Or file an airport ident change in the X-Plane gateway.

With Use Navigraph for Navaids and Procedures enabled LNM does fuzzy search between two different databases which results in the right airport.

Thanks for your reply and all your efforts

I'm still thinking about this but I cannot imagine a solution which fixes this at scenery library compile time.

Best workaround would be to download XZ0015/ZUTF from the X-Plane gateway and the replace its ident XZ0015 with the real one in the apt.dat file. This would enable the custom procedures.

@albar965 I know little about programing but I wonder whether its possible to replace the inner ident with ICAO when there's no conflict in reading scenery

albar965 commented 3 months ago

No programming knowledge needed.

Download the airport here: https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports/XZ0015/show I think you need an account to download. Then replace XZ0015 with ZUTF in the apt.dat which is a text file. Try it out.

At worst you will see two airports at the same location.

ok I prefer rename the .dat files, and it works good
