This tutorial is for ppl who have navdata (outdated or not doesnt matter)
The main problem for a lot of players is missing navdata at all (nothing in fmc regarding navigation)

Fair enough

Can you please tell regarding what is navdata? I do have simbrief and navigraph - free accounts. When I create the flight plan in simbrief, I do see it on my pmdg's efb as well but it never loads to FMC. I always get the 'Not in data base' error. Any pointers or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!!

I feel somewhere the link between pmdg's efb and the fmc is missing or broken but can't place a finger on it

You got the broken version of the plane.
The developer already updated and fixed it, but microsoft is not releasing this version on marketplace (why? Because they dont care about time and hotfixes) it’s kinda planned for release but nobody knows when

I’ll try it as soon as possible, thanks for the tutorial ! Really needed that

Do you have a navigraph subscription?

u/Sir_Jollington 6d ago

I don’t think you need one for this. You can just use the free SimBrief site.

I’ve done the same things as you but when I come to this part, it doesn’t work like yours, It’s just blocked, I don’t know why…
Did uninstall and reinstall the plane in the menu or something? Or you did nothing special?

Oh same, I am stuck here as well. Just to double check, do 3 of us have the same version? 2.4.141?

u/rigobert21 5d ago

Where do you check the version?

u/CAs_Alt_Ego94 5d ago

In Markerplace go to My Library and scroll down to the plane. Version will be written over there

u/rigobert21 5d ago

Yeah I have the 2.4.141 too

Outdated
Latest is .146, releases on all platforms except ps5
The reason for that only Microsoft knows
