Brad Crockett Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Edmonton and Vancouver are co-hosting an event that military buffs will appreciate. Cold Lake (CYOD) to Comox (CYQQ)! Flights will depart Cold Lake at 23:59Z on Saturday, March 9, 2019. ATC will remain online at Comox until all aircraft are recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Crockett Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 On a test flight in preparation for this event, one of our controllers with P3D v4 found that the UQQ DME was missing from CYQQ. This renders ALL of the TACAN and ILS approaches for Comox INOP for this simulator. Does anyone know of a fix available for this? (Another controller tested X-Plane 11 and it was ok.)

1394209 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The AIRAC cycles are missing the TACAN. Our sector files don't have the waypoint from what I can see too. Richie Queally VATéir C1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Crockett Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Do you mean P3D depends on the Airac for approaches? I thought approach aids were in the scenery? I’m not too worried about whether UQQ is rendered on the scope. I’m concerned about pilots being able to fly approaches in IMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1325876 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 No. P3D and FSX navaid data is in the base files. There is a separate program called FSaerodata that will take the Airac data from Navigraph and edit into the P3D data. However if UQQ is not in the Airac data, as Richie says, then it won't be edited into P3D when you run FSaerodata. There are Navaid update packs from aero.sors.fr that update FSX and P3D navdata, however it is based off the current Airac as well so I do not know if it adds/updates UQQ.

Brad Crockett Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Odd. Navigraph AIRAC 1903v1 has UQQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
