Something wrong with ixeg navdata

[Valentiner79]

I greet you guys fiercely!

It seems to me that something wrong with ixeg navdata. My situation: made a flight plan to Calgary airport CYYG with ILS approach. It seemed that everything is fine. However, then the airplane was supposed to enter the glide path, i did not see the runway. It was much to the right. Now the similar situation i have with CYQB airport: the route does not lead to runway. Did not make any  manual interventions, VNAV and LNAV only. AIRAC 2101.  With another plane (md-80 Rotate) works fine. Could someone test these two arrivals with IXEG 737?

Errors found plunge me into despair and out of despair i'm ready to eat my socks.

Hi,

the navigational data we include for free with the IXEG 737 is fairly old. Back then, there was no ILS nav data published for Canadian airports.

It is possible that the MD80 uses more modern (i.e. X-Plane default) navigational data.

If you update the navigational data to current one (by buying it from Navigraph or Aerosoft) it should work out much better.

Cheers, Jan

Hello, Jan!

I have been update navdata to Navigraph Airac 2101 for all: x-plane, ixeg, rotate, little navmap. On ixeg CDU screen I see 2101 version of Navdata. Seems to me, all must be fine.

Hmm, ok - can you tell me which ILS approaches are not lining up so I can test it on my installation?

There is always the chance that a navdata set has wrong data, I still run a cycle from summer 2020...

Ok, Jan!

Just a moment:

CYQB approach i-06 without any STAR.

CYYC approach i-11.

I am running Navigraph cycle 2008 and when I turn onto the final approach course at KISIL I get this picture (both taken at the same time, sim paused) - so for me it works fine.

If you see something else there may be something wrong with your Navigraph cycle.

 

Cheers, Jan

Thanks for test, Jan!

I just made a flight from CYYC to CYWG and  everything was fine! Even VNAV worked perfectly! Perhaps the problem was in my erroneous actions with FMC. Will try make a flights to other Canadian airports. So, I apologize for bothering you, now i owe you a bottle of whiskey.

   I also have a request to see my screenshot that I took in display PLAN mode: does it mean that i will miss approach? This is CYQB ILS 06 approach.

No, the dashed line not matching the approach course is just an effect of a strong magnetic declination, I think.
