I stopped using Navigraph about 7 months ago to save some money and realising that although very good you can get away with not using it in msfs 2024. (The downside is that airac cycles are not updated)
Anyway, a few days ago I came to boot up msfs 2024 and only got to the “Asobo Studio” logo and it hangs and would not load. Tried numerous times and no joy. Looked on forums and some had same issue but there solutions did not work either. I thought to myself I only have the Fenix a320 in the community folder so thought it could be Fenix, went to my community folder and realised that Navigraph files were still there. Deleted them and hey presto, it was the solution. (Don’t know why)
On a side note, msfs 2024 has never worked so well since the last update. I only have a modest PC spec with nVidia 3060 graphics card, but it runs smooth and looks nice. So commendation where its due!
Just be aware that removing the Navigraph files manually without a clean uninstall using Navigraph Hub can result in unexpected sim behavior. Always remove via Hub.
Thanks for the replies. Maybe I should have explained it better. I still use Simbrief when I plan a route which ends up in the Fenix EFB, so it’s simbrief that keeps telling me the airac cycles are out of date. I wasn’t referring to msfs 2024 airac cycle.
Thanks for the heads up concerning deleting files in navigraph. For now, I have only “moved” files from community file to another directory, not deleted yet.
For a small(er) amount you can have a sub for the airac only at Navigraph. It’s a bit hidden to find but you’re always up to date having it, without the charts ofcourse.
If you use planner.flightsimulator.com, the AIRAC matches again with the in-game AIRAC. It has mostly the same functionality as simbrief/navigraph. Including free charts.
If you do want to keep using Simbrief:
Without navigraph subscription, simbrief.com uses indeed an old AIRAC. The AIRAC-only subscription is about € 37/year
