Hello all,
the Nav Database Update for the year 2020 (using AIRAC cycle 20-03) is now available:
Aerowinx Nav Database Update 2020 at Aviation Megastore
Aerowinx Nav Database Update 2020 at Aerosoft Germany
Aerowinx Nav Database Update 2020 at Aerosoft USAAerowinx Nav Database Update 2020 at Hyway AustraliaLike the previous updates, this new 2020 update will enable the enhanced weather radar graphics that are available in PSX version 10.0.8 and higher. If you have questions regarding the weather radar, please post them in
this thread.
If your last nav database is older than four years and you are used to the name "Navtech": Our database provider is still the same, but they are now part of the Airbus Group and they've changed their name to "Navblue".
Please note: Precision Simulator has been, and will be, used by professional customers like universities, airlines etc. For this reason,
Navigraph and
Aerosoft cannot provide data to PSX; they are not authorized by their suppliers to support professional products with their data, especially not at entertainment mass market prices. It's not a question of whether an individual customer is a professional or not. It's about the product category. Therefore this service here is independent of the entertainment segment, and the plan is to provide a database update to PSX users once per year (using the March cycle) to keep the costs as low as possible.

The database is used by the following components in Precision Simulator:
- Flight Management System
- EGPWS landing-short-of-runway alert (TCF)
- Navaid stations and receivers
- Airport communication radios and receivers
- Voice-ATC and CPDLC simulation
- Voice-ATIS and D-ATIS
- METAR management
- Instructor maps
- Instructor Analysis pages
- Instructor aircraft repositioning tools
- Scenery generator (runways, gates, airport beacons)
System requirement:Precision Simulator update 10.0.2 or higher: the latest update can be
downloaded free of charge.
Database installation:Don't unzip the downloaded file. Just copy the zip file to the (empty) subfolder
Aerowinx/Navigation/-New and restart Precision Simulator. That's all. If you use multiple computers in a local Precision Simulator network, install the file in the same way on those computers too. With one purchased download you are allowed to use up to four database copies within your local network.
Check your new AIRAC cycle number in Precision Simulator:
When the new database is installed, please go to the About/Quit page on the Instructor screen and check that this remark is included: "Navigation data by Navblue (cycle
2003)
". -- Please ignore the cycle dates indicated on the FMC IDENT page. Those are simulated cycle dates and vary with the simulated time of the year; they are intended for FMS training only and don't refer to the physically installed cycle.Thank you for your interest!
Regards,
