[Answered] FMS - I don't want to use Sim Brief. Can I use........

[chroode]

Hi,

I have been downloading this into X-Plane for my FMS for free and it has been working fine.  Download the Coded Instrument Flight Procedures (CIFP) (faa.gov)    ---download the current CIFP file (Coded Instrument Flight Procedures) and extract the files. Copy the FAACIFP18 file, paste it into the folder "X-Plane 11 / Custom Data " and rename the file (FAACIFP18) to earth_424.dat  -----

Then I get all the airport and info and charts from here.  Lookup Airport | SkyVector 

But when I go into the FMS on the 650 it reads "WORLD", and will not show me a current database.

Can you tell me how I can use the FAA data?

Thanks 

Chris

At the moment this method of working is not supported - the Challenger 650 FMS has a complete navdata processor to avoid having to deal with limitations of the X-Plane navigation API, but the FAA CIFP data is not supported.
