Hi Markus,

ok, i see, thank you very much.

The Aerosoft database includes many RF legs.

But I noticed the Kathmandu RF stuff is no longer included. However, I don't know if this is Aerosoft specific or a general change.

In our company-issued iPads (with Jeppesen FD Pro X), VNKT RF procedures have disappeared as well (I noticed this a few weeks ago - don't really know for how long this has been so).

Best regards,

The VNKT charts exist for us on Jepp FD pro as we fly there.

I haven't looked at the navdata in PSX, but the LIDO VNKT RF charts are included in the Aerosoft NDP charts app.

Disregard my comment. The Kathmandu RF stuff is included in Aerosoft's database. I was ignoring my own rules: I had loaded the old Kathmandu situ file and forgot to select the NG FMC option on the Model page.

We have 3 networked computers running instances of PSX, we have installed the new Nav Database and it does show in the dropdown menu, but every time we restart PSX the database defaults back to....well, "Default" - is there a way to select the Aerosoft database automatically? thanks

What files are in your subfolder Aerowinx/Navigation/-Custom/Misc/?

The last database selection is stored in listSelect.txt when quitting PSX in a normal way. How do you quit PSX?

Hi guys

I have followed the instructions of aerosoft to install the AEROWINX_PSX-NAV2105 10.00.53 and what I get it is a second navigation folder that by default it is named navigation 2, but I do not get anything in the instructor panel. Any ideas? than you

Hi, I don't know why it didn't work for you, but if you got this result ...

Aerowinx/Navigation 2/-Custom/List/2105-Aerosoft

... just move "2105-Aerosoft" to the "List" subfolder at ...

Aerowinx/Navigation/-Custom/List/

... so that the full path looks like that:

Aerowinx/Navigation/-Custom/List/2105-Aerosoft

When that works, you can delete the subfolder "Navigation 2". PSX doesn't use "Navigation 2".

I had a similar problem like Manualpaz, but with the additional subfolder /List/

after downloading the file in my Aerowinx main folder, i got the result:

Aerowinx/Navigation 2/-Custom/List/2105-Aerosoft

and i had to move it manually to the subfolder at

Aerowinx/Navigation/-Custom/List

That worked for me as well...

Regards, Timo


EDIT: i saw you added /List/  ;D; that means, it's exactly the same problem...

2nd EDIT: maybe important: macOS 11.4


Hardy Heinlin

Could this be an issue re Mac versus Windows?

Did any of you macOS users instantly get the correct path just by unzipping?

If I recall well...: it installed correctly in my 2017 iMAC (OS 11.4) and as Navigation 2 in my 2011 iMAC (OS 10.13.6). After correction of the path in that 2011 iMAC, it worked without any problems.

Regards,
Simon

it seems that if you "drag and drop" or "unzip" an identically named folder in macOS that FINDER will
automatically rename that folder by adding a suffix (default "keep both"-mode).
If you "drag and drop" an identically named folder by pressing an holding "OPTION"-key, you will be asked
if you want to "merge" the folders. (what we should have done with the aerosoft-zip-file)

Thank you for your answer Hardy. What I have in my navigation folder it is a folder named new, other old and a lot of files, I do not have any folder named custom in the current navigation folder where to add the AEROWINX_PSX-NAV2105 23.40.29 10.14.38 files. Thank you for the help

Hardy Heinlin

To get the -Custom folder you need to install and start PSX update 10.137 or higher:

Not sure if it's your case, but we don't have those RNP-AR charts in iPad as well since we're not allowed to fly those procedures.

I'm closing this thread because that single Aerosoft nav database from May 2021 is no longer available. Aerosoft now provides monthly nav database updates in their NavDataPro product, and for this I just started a new thread here:
