  1. I see that a testing section is now available. A bit late but after reviewing what has been posted so far I have only a few comments to make.

    I did try to change the wind settings, I expected ATC to give runway 19, it did, but the guides always went to runway 01.

    I did not try the RNP approaches although the charts suggested they are there.

    I tried various settings for local traffic and there were only two aircraft shown.

    Biggest issue is ATC.

     

    Navigation - 
    With Navigraph disabled there is only LOC 01 and ILS19
    With Navigraph enabled there are also RNP approaches for 01 and 19.

    Navigraph chart show runway length as 6910 but LNM shows 6904
    Navigraph chart shows runway 19 as M187, 01 as M007
    LNM does not show taxiway A/B
    Variation 6E - 01 T013 - 19 T193


    ILS19 M188
    IAF D007L D12.0 2800 IF MX D10.0 2600  FAF FI19 2600 MX 109.70/187

    DME            Actual
    D007L D12 - D12.0
    CI19  D10 - D10.0
    FI19  D6.7- D06.7

     

    PAPI - LOW ON FINAL
    No ATC to Parking upon landing.

  2. I spent my time looking at the nuts and bolts; that is, what MSFS World Map showed versus Little Navmap. There appeared to be some issues.

    A couple of airports seem to have runways reversed.

    One airport has its parking spot at another airport.

    Not all airports have windsocks - maybe as expected?

    Strange behaviour when loading some airports at runway with the sim placing the aircraft at what appears to be the airport location point but then when the Fly button is pressed the aircraft goes to the runway.

    Should some of the parking spots actually be helipads?
