How to - Change Navdata Method - Sim Default or Navigraph

[Eddie]

Before your first flight, you must set your preferred navigation database (Navdata) via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) - 3RD PARTY SETTINGS page.

Sim Default Navdata

The A340 Airliner will use the internal 'Sim Default' navdata as the default option, similar to all our previous airliners for MSFS. 

This means it will update whenever the sim navdata is updated by Microsoft, but also that the data may be affected by installed Scenery or other 3rd Party packages (e.g. Navigraph sim base via Navigraph Hub) installed in your sim Community or Official folders. This type of sim navdata conflict presents itself occasionally as

• missing SID/STAR/APPROACH completely or parts thereof, or
• outdated runways, or
• missing ILS data for auto-tuning of NAVAIDs page etc.

 

Navigraph Navdata

To workaround the conflicts listed above, active subscribers have the option to use external navdata provided by Navigraph directly that works independently of the installed Scenery or other 3rd Party packages. 

Once set-up, this navdata must be updated directly via the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) - 3RD PARTY SETTINGS page.

Connect to Navigraph

First you must connect to your Navigraph account by

• Scanning the shown QR Code, OR
• Navigating to https://navigraph.com/code and enter the code shown on the OIS.

After you have completed the authentication steps the OIS will update to show the additional 'UPDATE DATA' and 'RESET NAVIGRAPH' options.

Change Navdata Source

You can swap between 'SIM DEFAULT' and 'NAVIGRAPH' navdata by simply clicking on its respective button under the NAVDATA option. This can ONLY be done on the ground without the engines running.

Note: Changing navdata source will completely wipe the FMS data. You should only do this prior to completing your FMS preparation as a result.
