albar965 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi All, the biggest change in this version is X-Plane support for almost all Little Navmap features: Scenery Database, moving map, traffic, weather and more. The update is also recommended for FSX/Prepar3D users because of several bugfixes and other small improvements like the new configurable update notification which will show a dialog if a new release is available. Announcement on my page with all links. Screenshots Online Manual Direct download link Windows Direct download link macOS Direct download link Linux Changes from Release 1.4.4 to 1.6.3 The scenery database format has changed and the program will ask to erase its own databases if started. Enhancements X-Plane 11 Can read full X-Plane scenery database: Airports, aprons, taxiways, navaids, airways, procedures (including speed limits). Also add-on overrides and path exclusions in the options dialog. Supports navdata updates. Display of AI aircraft on map and in information window. Weather from X-Plane downloaded weather file `METAR.rwx` (station or nearest station). Copy airspaces from FSX or P3D to X-Plane database. FMS and FLP flight plan file loading and saving. Moving map. Needs the _Little XpConnect_ X-Plane plugin which is included in the download archive. Altitude and one-way restrictions for airways are considered when calculating flight plans. Supported platforms are Windows, macOS and Linux for all programs. General Automatic update check on startup (daily, weekly or manual) with settings in options dialog on tab `Startup`. Added push buttons in flight plan and procedure search top area to remove selection and map highlights. Rhumb line measurement now shows both magnetic and true course where declination is based on origin. Can now load and save FMS and FLP flight plan formats. Can load FS9 flight plan format. Route string generation is now more robust for malformed and incomplete flight plans. Now erasing wrong airway entries at departure and destination when loading flight plan to avoid problems with malformed flight plans from other tools. Shows startup positions in the information window now. Added donation link to help menu and about dialog. Bug Fixes and Improvements Improved weather display for nearest station: Added name, distance and map link to reporting station if that is an airport. FSX and P3D: Fixed several problems with magnetic declination by using `magdec.bgl` file now. Fixed issues when loading P3D v4 add-on.xml. Fixed crash when loading older FSX/P3D scenery. Fixed handling and display of helipads. Now using name as an identifier. Improved detection of military and closed airports. Database loading dialog now pops up after erasing incompatible databases. Fixed missing encoding in saved FSX PLN files causing problems with other tools. See the include file `CHANGELOG.txt` for a detailed list of all changes across all versions.

oldboy43 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thank you Alex. Let's go with Little Navmap with Prepar 3D v3.4. Today, I'll run X-Plane 11 too. Sincerely Karoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Hobson Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've forgotten: Should we delete the previous version, or install this new version over the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albar965 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Stewart, delete the old one. All settings are stored in another directory so it is safe to remove old versions. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Thanks, Alex. Come to think of it, that's how it worked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Alex. Right I have done the FSX scenery library and the P3D one but there is nothing showing for Xplane only a greyed out line copy Airspaces to X Plane database. Forget that just found it. Derek.

albar965 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Right. You have to set the path for X-Plane in the "Load Scenery Library" dialog first and load the database to show the X-Plane menu item. Well, loading is not really needed but the path has to be set at least. The problem is that X-Plane leaves not entries in the registry so I cannot detect it like the other simulators.

Dadtom65 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi. Yes did that. See why you have to copy the Xplane airspace's into Little Nav Map, but I can not find them in Xplane. Have asked on the Xplane forum but no answer yet. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albar965 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Derek, if you have FSX or P3D installed you can copy the airspaces from these simulators to the X-Plane database. You have to switch to a P3D or FSX database to enable this menu item. But this is just a workaround. X-Plane comes with airspaces for the US only and the format is not documented as far as I can see. Quote Have asked on the Xplane forum but no answer yet. Can you post the link? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonvs Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi Alex, great work again. However I’m a little confused (regular event), reading your introduction to this post it seems that X-Plane compatibly has just been introduced but I’ve been using it very successfully for several months, first with XP11.34 and then XP11.35. Would you clarify this for me please. cheers Anton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: I'm also using it with XP 11.35. BTW 2: Currently development continues towards 2.4. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
