    Great tutorial Jonathan!
    We are working on the in-game charts, the new vector tile technology we are using doesn't seem to be compatible with the rendering technology in MSFS. Moreover, we are suspecting that there would be performance drops in the simulator if we made it read the amount of data which is needed to display the new version of charts.
    We are researching this challenge and hopefully, we shall find a solution (or an alternative).

    Navigraph has always been an outstanding aid for simulation; "8" is a whole new level. Initially there was an issue with being required to log-in each time you minimized the program but thankfully that has been solved. A great program and well covered, Jonathan.

      Reading your comment, my immediate thought was that some poor developer put some code to reset login credentials on the minimize button (to help debug something runtime perhaps), and forgot to take it out and it got by code review. Glad they fixed it.

But, just another thing to figure out. Anyway, great intro to something I'm sure will be very useful.

  • @jacobmines1577
    @jacobmines1577 2 года назад +2

    Great video Jonathan! Tremendously informative and thorough as always. I've been playing with this new update all afternoon and I think it's fantastic.
    I love that we can now use 'track up' (set in the 'moving maps' options), the elevation contour lines and too many other new incredible features to list.
    As someone who loves to fly the Bae 146 and DC-6 using traditional navigation methods, I would love to see an autoroute option/toggle added that would use only VOR and NDB's from Dept/Dest, but that's just me being lazy. Of course with the fantastic new info overlays and everything else we can toggle on and off, all that traditional nav data and victor airways can be fairly easily used to manually create those kinds of routes, though it takes a little longer, but I suppose that's all part of the fun, yeah?
    Also, if you visit the Navigraph forums, you'll see that the devs are very aware of the constant *log out/reauthorize* issue and a massive amount of users are experiencing this, including myself. I did a short hop from CYYZ (Toronto, ON) > KCRW (Charleston, NC) and had to re-login/reauthorize 4 times in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Kind of annoying but the devs say they're on it and hoping to fix it quite quickly.
    Sadly, at the moment it's also been clearly stated by Navigraph that the bulk of these new features won't be coming to the in-game Navigraph charts anytime soon, which has obviously upset a huge amount of users, especially those who play exclusively in VR. Something to do with the new Navigraph tech using vector imagery for maps and the incompatibility of MSFS to natively work with said tech... though who knows what development trickery/genius Navigraph might come up with to get things to play nicely in the coming weeks/months.
    Again, most of this info I found today on the Navigraph forums while looking for a solution or explanation regarding the constant need to 'reauthorize' the native Windows/OSX apps. For any interested I'd look there for more info yourself about all that.

    • @jonbeckett

    Try entering your route first (EGSS/EGPH) then autoroute, then departure runway and when you select departures Navigraph will suggest the best matching departure 😍 based on your runway and route. Likewise, select arrival runway and when you select arrivals Navigraph will suggest best matching arrivals 😍 for your runway and route.

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  2 года назад

      Yes - I did it backwards in the video because I was just showing functionality. It's clear to everybody that autoroute overwrites anything you have done - or that you you can click it immediately. I imagine it will appeal to those that like to get in a plane, press three buttons, and then turn the plane back off after it lands and say "did you see how well I flew that?"

    Very useful Jonathan thank you.
    As a real world IFR pilot, it always strikes me as ironic that so much effort has to be put into detailed IFR flight planning, when, in reality, you are almost always vectored by ATC units, here and there, depending on traffic on the day.
    An actual IFR flight invariably has little relationship to that which was planned and submitted to ‘the system’.

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  2 года назад +1

      Yep - I always think the same thing. In the simulator, I find myself saying again and again "here's where we can program the STAR, but we wouldn't do this in the real world until we're en-route - or we just need to be ready to change it" :)

However, I would like any flight planning to be more integral to the flight simulator itself. And this, as you know, can only be provided by Navigraph, so far, I know of no other alternative.

    Great video as always! i have just renewed my subscription since early 2022 and discovered a lot of changes which you have covered well in this video! it is taking me a bit to get used to it, but i now think i will be using this every chance i get!
    Out of curiosity though, do you think tools like Little Nav Map and PFPX are completely redundant now if you have a Navigraph subscription? I am slowly getting back into flight sim after a long while and i was not exactly experienced with it to start with so i am still trying out all the tools to decide what i want to use.
    Basically, if i have Navigraph sub and Simbrief, do i need anything else? I really want to use LNM (i love it) and PFPX (still works and i love it), but this looks so good and easy to use plus being able to pull up all the required charts is essential!

But in the app on my microsoft surface pad, i only see the moving arrow but the flightplan does not show as it did in the in game panel. Simlink have detected the game on pc, but not on the microsoft surface. But the arrow and maps are showing on surface.

    • @jonbeckett

      I'll have to try this myself. I will say - simlink has got nothing to do with it. Navigraph sends the flight plan to the cloud - simlink sends your aircraft position to the cloud. So it may be that Charts 8 is not completely compatible with other clients in terms of the route. Like I said - I'll try it when I get a chance.

    After first look, there are one or two features from Little Nav Map that would be good (like rings, and distance lines), but otherwise the look of the map is just amazing.
    because you mentioned the mountain area of LOWI, the engine out video from @737NGDriver should be checked out.
    Using MSFS, leaving from LOWI, with ATC, he simulates a lost engine after V1 in a 737. ruclips.net/video/NGwVTp9hWoA/видео.html

      LNM is probably superior as an overall "addition" to the simulator. Navigraph is really more about using real-world charts and plates. It's starting to compete with the likes of LittleNavMap for route planning - but there's a lot it still doesn't do (like the elevation plot, or fuel planning).
