Navigraph Blog HOME NAVIGRAPH WEBSITE ARCHIVE FlightSim Community Survey 2021 Out Now! Click here to take the survey! Together with several major addon developers and organizations within the flight simulation community, Navigraph is back conducting the annual FlightSim Community Survey. Like previous years, this year’s survey has an emphasis on the major flight simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Laminar Research X-Plane, but the survey also includes questions about add-ons, tools, and flight simulation on mobile devices and consoles. Who should take the survey? To get the full picture of our community, we want all types of flight simmers to share their input! So whether you’re a hardcore PC user or just fly sometimes on your mobile or console, you are welcome to take the survey. Why should I take this survey? The FlightSim Community Survey is the largest of its kind and aims to gauge the prevailing flight simulation trends and users’ requests for future development. The answers you provide in this survey will directly help guide future projects and development in the flightsim community. What happens next? The survey is online between the 26th of November and 6th of December 2021. We will then collect the results and publish them free to use for the community in a report, just like previous years. Click here to check out the results from the last year’s survey. 0 notes 5 days ago iFly Advanced Series – The 737NG for Prepar3D v5 Released Looking for a premium flight simulation experience? Check out the new iFly Advanced Series – The 737NG for Lockheed Martin’s Prepar3D v5! The Advanced Series 737NG is a sophisticated add-on that puts great emphasis on cockpit and system accuracy. This base package, which contains the -800 and -900 variants, is the most advanced addon developed by the iFly Development Team to date. The Advanced Series 737NG is a revamped version of the popular iFly 737NG series that comes with many new features, such as: Keep reading 0 notes 1 week ago Free Route Airspace Updates Have you noticed that it seems like there are fewer and fewer airways in the European airspace? What’s going on and how does it affect route planning in flight simulation? Read on and we will tell you a bit about something called free route airspace (FRA).

As a COMPANY, ADDON DEVELOPER, INTEREST ORGANIZATION, MEDIA OUTLET in the flight simulation domain, you are very welcome to partner with us. Over 23,500 respondents and 30 partners participated in the FlightSim Community Survey 2020. Our partners have the important role of spreading the survey and suggesting topics and themes for the survey. (An invitation to participate in the survey as a respondent will be sent out later.) Keep reading 0 notes 1 month ago The Yearly Workshop Once per year, usually right after the summer holidays, the Navigraph Team meets up for two days of workshop. At this event we discuss and align goals and strategies for the coming year, but first and foremost it is a social event where the ever growing team hang out, eat, drink and have fun together. It was a great feeling to finally meet the Navigraph Team in person again after almost a year and a half of isolation. Having a beer together in a rooftop pool didn’t hurt either. What did we talk about? What are the plans for the year? Well, read on and we will share some of the things we spoke about.

The service installs current navdata directly into your MSFS 2020 from the industry leading provider Jeppesen. The Navigraph navdata team is working actively on developing the navdata service to offer a realistic flight simulation experience. Through customer reports in forum.navigraph.com, we have been able to further enhance the realism when using current navdata from Navigraph by introducing real-world beam widths for localizers in MSFS.

When creating a flight plan using SimBrief, a briefing package similar to those real-world pilots use will be generated. This will provide you with the essential information required to prepare your flight. Introducing Aircraft Type-Based Procedures Did you know that some procedures are only allowed to be flown by certain types of aircraft? As an example, the following arrival into Toronto can only be flown by jet aircraft.

In particular, VOR flying has become increasingly popular within the flight simulation community. Conventional flying can also be practiced in some of the default aircraft types in MSFS, such as the Cessna 172 and the Bonanza G36. In this article, we’ll cover our recent navdata developments that have been made to facilitate flight simulation with conventional navigation.
