Ethan Hochberg Posted September 26, 2020 at 05:05 PM Posted September 26, 2020 at 05:05 PM I recently downloaded a payware FMC hoping it would give me more realism. It did, however many of the waypoints/approaches/departures are not in my FMC Database. Many controllers have advised me to update my FMC Navigation Database, but I am unsure how to do so. If you could please tell me how to do this, that would be great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 26, 2020 at 06:39 PM Posted September 26, 2020 at 06:39 PM Hi Ethan, what's the FMC that you are using? There are 2 suppliers for navigation data: Navigraph and Aerosoft NavadataPro. You will need to check which of the two offers this data in the right format for your FMC.

Ethan Hochberg Posted September 26, 2020 at 07:21 PM Author Posted September 26, 2020 at 07:21 PM I'm using easyFMC for FSX: SE. How can I tell which one is right for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 26, 2020 at 07:40 PM Posted September 26, 2020 at 07:40 PM You will have to find out what data format easyFMC requires and how to update it (documentation of the product). Then check Navigraph and Navdatapro if they offer this product and at what price.

Ethan Hochberg Posted September 26, 2020 at 08:37 PM Author Posted September 26, 2020 at 08:37 PM I emailed the creator of EasyFMC and they said the database could not be updated because it uses the simulator internal database, so I can't update anything. Is there a way I can update the sim database? Thanks for your help so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted September 26, 2020 at 09:19 PM Posted September 26, 2020 at 09:19 PM (edited) That's....not so nice. And they did not tell you about AeroSors?? https://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html Also: have you tried vasFMC (freeware) ?

Ethan Hochberg Posted September 26, 2020 at 09:56 PM Author Posted September 26, 2020 at 09:56 PM They did now tell me anything about AeroSors. What is it and how do I install it? And I looked at vasFMC but I saw it had a very long installation process that I don't think I could follow. Although, if vasFMC has more realism and is better in the longrun, I think I might choose that one. Could you tell me more about vasFMC? Thank you so much!!!

Andreas Fuchs Posted September 27, 2020 at 09:17 AM Posted September 27, 2020 at 09:17 AM AerosSors: just read the content of the website that I linked, it's all explained there. vasFMC: it's a freeware FMC that comes with its own set of NavData (can be updated through Navigraph or NavdataPro, payable), it can be included in any panel, but you will have to work on the panel.cfg files to do this. There should be some ready to use files for this on AVSIM or similar. Otherwise vasFMC is not hard to install or use. Search this forum for it and Google will be your friend, too.
