Hotstart Challenger 650 FMS Data Base Update

[airgreg]

Can someone lend a hand?   Im going stir crazy. All Im trying to do is update my data base in my FMS in the Xplane 12 Hotstart Challenger. Here is what it looks like, nothing is showing in Sec Data Base, so there's nothing to copy.

You haven’t installed the XP12 nav data properly it looks like.

Look at the contents of the Custom Data directory.

[airgreg]

Yeah, so that folder is empty. What goes in there? And where do I find it?

[airgreg]

Does all this go in there from Navigraph?

Guess What?  That WORKED!  

 

Thanks So much for that HELP!

I am having the same problem trying to get off the FBO ramp with my macbook pro i9..  Navigraph is loading only from disk however my FO FMS is the only FMS with data,  CA is mostly blank.  I will keep reading the thread and report back.

custom data directory solved the problem, after I downloaded the proper database files from Navigraph.  Thanks for that solution.  Now I can get my CDU 2 works, CDU 1 not?  Think I need to start from cold and dark + carefully follow the checklist to avoid CDU 1 dropping out.  I think there was an Avionics power up issue from my initial startup attempt.

If CDU 1 is blank when you press the FMS function then you probably have a popped circuit breaker.
