  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

No navaids in MSFS

When trying to plan a flight in MSFS2020 I cannot locate any VORs, NDBs, Intersections or Upper or Lower Jetways. To get these do I have to subscribe to Navigraph? Or is it something that hasn't been added as yet.
 
No, they should all be there.

When you have the World Map view open, note that there are some options at the bottom of the map. One of these is "Open Filters". Click on that, or press the 'F' key to open the filter settings. There you can scroll down to the bottom and make sure that Navaids is turned on.
 
Since MSFS no longer remembers your preferences for the filter since the first update, if you want to change the defaults, you'll need to edit an xml file. Go to Packages\Official\OneStore(or steam)\fs-base\worldmap and find the worldmap.xml file there. The language is easy enough to suss out to find what you're looking for. Just change the OFF to ON. If you're using Notepad++, the switch for navaids is on line 234. Here's mine after the edit:

Edit: Don't forget to make a backup of the original...

Thanks John and Tom. This 74 year old brain isn't functioning at its best at times. MSFS2020 is a steep learning curve.
