Navigraph Database

Hey,

I was curious if anybody else uses Navigraph databases for the PSX.
The reason is, seemingly, their databases, though they're up to date as it seems, the previous outdated navaids haven't been deleted, e.g. PAM (Pampus) and SPY (Spijkerboor) VOR-DMEs are registered as both VOR-DMEs and also DME-Only (Ghost VORs). Even Tallinn VOR-DME is present as both DME and VOR-DME, resulting in the PSX misinterpreting the navaid data and only showing the DME distance in the ND with no bearing information, as well as using small fonts.

Lots of these have gone in the mean time... apparently PAM and SPY lost their VOR part now.

This is taken from the Dutch AIP (effective date 03 NOV 2022), PAM and SPY are DME only.

My bad! Should've checked before posting then.
Last time I flew to AMS was 5 years ago and still remember the "Direct to Pampus" as a part of their vectoring scheme.

Thanks dear Hoppie and Simon!
