I would like to thank the IPACS team for including two of the main Mexican Airports, MMMX and MMUN in their latest update, they are very detailed airports and their main terminals are custom 3D modeled.
If I have spare time this weekend I'll try to upload some more Mexican airports created by me on the Airport creation tool to Flight-Sim.org. MMMZ, MMTJ, MMSD, MMAA, MMBT and MMOX are among them so you can try several interesting domestic flights in my country.
I would like to see more recent AIRAC navdata or at least the possibility to provide our own navdata via Navigraph or Aviaplanner (when available).
I have been working on several Mexican airports using IPACS internal Airport creation tool but I don´t know if one day they are going to be published as they are or used as a base for true 3D modelled versions of those airports with custom terminal buildings, jetways, control towers, etc.
I also don´t know if I can share that work to other people for example like this:
which was made manually editing a TAP file, not with IPACS airport creation tool
Or is there another possibility to do these things?
Yes, you can manually create and edit an airport "TAP" file.
After you create the TAP file for your airport you can then use aerofly FS4 tap converter to get the scenery files (*.tmb, *.toc,*.tsc and *.wad) needed to be placed in your "Documents/Aero Fly FS4/scenery/airports" folder so you can see your creation.
Creating and manually editing tap files is a time consuming task at first but once you get the hang of it it's a pretty straightforward process.
You can get more info about tap files in this thread by ApfelFlieger:
Yes, I put all the textures in. I used the converter you provided (https://www.aerofly.com/community/inde…entconvert-zip/) .
the log file you attached in your previous post was generated by Aerofly FS 4 content converter not Aerofly FS 2 content converter, you must install Aerofly FS 2 content converter version. You can download it from here: https://www.aerofly-sim.de/aerofly_fs_2_sdk
There is no ILS approaches on any of these runways😂
Are you sure? The fact that there are no approach procedures listed in the sim doesn't mean you can't use ILS for that runways
Alright then do a visual approach, but do you select your waypoints at random or you look at the charts or Simbrief ?
Not only visual, you can check what runways have ILS and use them for instrument approaches, regarding STARS and waypoints I don't think they match the current charts (remember, this airport didn't exist 10 years ago) so you'll have to improvise
So we're supposed to land at the old airport ?
No, but you'll have to design your own arrival procedure, something like this one:
because there are no arrival or departures published for LTFM in the AIRAC data used in the sim
Why won't Aerofly update its database?
It has been explained by the developer several times, they claim it has to do with the high cost of current AIRAC data from external providers and the fact that they consider that only a very small percentage of users would use that updated data. Do a quick search here in the forum with AIRAC keyword so you can see their response to that question.
Regards
I think it's because of the old AIRAC used in Aerofly from more than 10 years ago, the "new" LTFM is just 6 years old.
Pilot boy could you share that AC3D jetway model?
Oculus Quest 2 doesn't work with Mac, it only works with Windows and to some extent with Linux
Just checked last AFS4 update and seems like the issue with INTC legs is finally fixed!
At least all approaches that couldn't be completed in my above post (D23 MMMM, D26 MMMZ and D36 MMVR) now can be flown and finished.
Thank you for solving this, took some time but looks like LNAV now works as it should 
I was a bit disappointed at first but now that it's fixed I have the motivation to go back to airport creation tool and continue working hard 
From what I heard from real pilots is that the free 737 Zibo mod for X-Plane 12 comes closer to the real thing than the PMDG add-on but that was many years ago, not sure if thst is still the case.
Anyway, the Aerofly FS 737 is also pretty good I think and we even have the 737 MAX, NG and classic.
Oh yes, Zibo is on par, if not better, than PMDG 737.
Zibo mod alone is worth the price of XPlane and is continually updated and refined by it´s developers (Zibo and Twkster) and tested by a great community of real and virtual 737 pilots.
It is a shame that PMDG have dropped X-plane, the new ‘12’ looks much improved.
but you have Zibo mod and it´s free and very very good
I know, 99% of your customers don´t use this feature but
any plans on fixing this bug?
I'd be glad to know if this is even slightly considered by the devs
Thanks, can you please screenshot the route in the navigation menu so that we can reproduce it?
Any update on this issue?
We are, but you also have to understand our side. We just can't afford a million dollar database or what ever the current prices are right now. This database being out of date is not an issue if you ask most of the users. Only the top 1% players would notice a difference and most of them are here in the forums because they are dedicated enough to make a user account and check for new posts in the community. But it's far from an average sample of all users. Our estimate is that most users have never created a single navigation route in Aerofly, so how would the majority of users even notice. And then again 90% of the old database is probably still accurate till today and just using the sim alone it's still very accurate and you would not even notice many issues at all, except a few airports where the runway layout has changed. Only if you bring your other apps into play does it become an issue.
I may be wrong but I think supporting Navigraph in your sim doesn't mean you have to purchase the data yourself from them to redistribute it to all your customers, as far as I know you only need to become a Navigraph developer, develop for them in your sim using their tools and they will provide the data (in your own format) to the authorized end users, the ones with an active paid subscription who as a big number of subscribers (regardless if they use MSFS, X.plane or Aerofly) are the ones that "pay" for the whole current Navigraph data.
Correct me if I am wrong but at least that is what I understood from here:
