Navigraph Navdata update button missing
Thanks Kyle. As an update following yesterdays Airac Cycle2611 update I still cannot update from Cycle2610r1 - tried the work around again to no avail

The best unmanned helicopters of the 21st century
The Best Unmanned Helicopters of the 21st Century – Which Platforms Truly Stand Out?Over the past two decades, unmanned helicopter technology has evolved considerably, moving from relatively experimental platforms to sophisticated systems capable of performing a wide range of military, industrial, maritime, and surveillance missions. Recently, I have come across a comparison table circulating online that ranks some of the best unmanned helicopters of the 21st century. It is an interesting selection, but I believe this topic deserves a more technical discussion than simply comparing aircraft by appearance, specifications, or manufacturer reputation. In my opinion, evaluating an unmanned helicopter requires looking at several key performance indicators: Operational endurance: How long can the platform remain airborne while maintaining mission effectiveness? Payload capacity: What types of electro-optical, infrared, radar, or other mission-specific equipment can it accommodate? Autonomous flight capabilities: How advanced are its flight-control systems, navigation architecture, and ability to operate with limited human intervention? Operational reliability: How well does the aircraft perform in challenging weather conditions and demanding operational environments? Mission versatility: Can the platform be effectively adapted for ISR, maritime surveillance, logistics, search and rescue, or other specialized applications? System integration: How effectively does it integrate with ground control stations, communication networks, and broader unmanned systems architectures? Each represents a different approach to unmanned rotary-wing aviation, whether in terms of endurance, naval operations, autonomous flight technology, or multi-role mission capabilities. However, I would argue that there is no universally superior unmanned helicopter. A platform optimized for extended maritime surveillance may not necessarily be the best choice for tactical reconnaissance or autonomous logistics operations. I would be particularly interested in hearing the opinions of other aviation and UAV specialists: Which unmanned helicopter do you consider the most technologically advanced platform of the 21st century? Should endurance and payload capacity carry more weight than autonomy and mission flexibility when establishing a ranking? Do you consider the MQ-8 Fire Scout or the Camcopter S-100 a more significant milestone in the development of unmanned rotary-wing systems? Which emerging platforms do you believe could redefine this segment over the next decade? I think it would be useful to go beyond manufacturer specifications and discuss actual operational maturity, technological innovation, and long-term development potential. What is your choice for the best unmanned helicopter of the 21st century, and what technical arguments support your selection?

Agreed, I do hope they're listening, or someone is 😄!

The easiest way would be for iniBuilds to provide it, like they do with so many other liveries.

Thanks again for your input ROSSI ERIC, I'm sure this will help with an even more accurate paint. All we need now is that gifted and kind painter 🙏😁!

livery request
could the 707-320C have a limited time halloween livery or if its to late for that maybe a christmas one?

Terminal C and Terminal A extensions
Since this post the A extension is now open and the southwest end around taxiway has been completed as well. Also some of the spots out of the ramp have changed. For things that need to be updated

RAAS not working in 1.0.6a
All settings turned on in the EFB, no callouts or visual warnings on the instruments for the runway.

A380 V 1.04 Localiser & Glideslope do not work if sim is launched from a saved game using the EA variant
Update to V 1.06 - EA Basic variant still unable to capture localiser and glideslope on runway extended centreline on launching from a saved game. Both localiser and glideslope magenta "triangle" indicators remain inactive. If game is played from new flight, then ILS can be captured without problem. I then tried using the same saved game. After launching and flying for a while I used the jump ahead function to jump to a waypoint nearer to the runway for approach. I then extended the runway centreline, flew parallel to the centreline and turned the plane back to capture the localiser and glideslope along the centreline. I was successful in capturing both the localiser and glideslope. Both were active and the aircraft followed the ILS onto the runway. You may want to use the attached saved game starting from EDDF using the AB variant of the Inibuilds A380 v 1.06 to testScreenshot 2026-10-30 11-18-48-3.mp4 AB-EDDF-07C--LFPG-09L-TOD.bin

A330 Update
Would you be adding the SATCOM dome on the end and in the middle (in Cathay Pacific planes) in the update as most airlines have them now.

IniKyle! Since I am blocked in Inimanager, I decided to purchase aircraft and use them directly in my Steam version of the game (via the MS Store); however, I only just bought an aircraft recently. An error occurs the moment I appear at the airport. I’m not sure if I have diagnostics enabled or not. I really want to fly. I’ve clicked through everything I selected during installation multiple times, and I can confirm that the MS Store livery pack results in a "WASM" [error/issue]. Some time passed, and I encountered WASM again; however, since I had already confirmed the submission of the logs, I will wait for a resolution.- wasm crash a380
