Little Navmap 3.0.12 stable version released (update 33)

Press Ctrl+Shift+O or Show all in the context menu. No need to scroll down. I’d always use a filter on aircraft or other to avoid showing really all entries. This can slow down LNM until it freezes.

Sry, rather not. I’d use this function only with a filter as described above to avoid slowdown.

It’s a bit hidden in map context menu → MoreShow Logbook Entry in Search. This pre-fills all the search fields to show the logbook entry (mostly only the selected but maybe more). This works for all map features like airports or VOR.

Context menu on logbook entry and FilesOpen attached flight plan. Ok, this is only for one plan.

Graphical Readout of Altitude on Map doesn’t match Aircraft Position/Info or in-cockpit altimeter. It’s off by 1,000’. AAU2/CU2 Live WX

The altimeter reads indicated altitude. LNM is showing true altitude above sea level. If the ambient pressure and (especially) temperature are not standard, your true altitude could differ considerably from indicated altitude. I don’t know what your air temperature was, but if it was above ISA (very likely at lower altitudes in summer) your true altitude will be higher than indicated. The difference can be substantial.

Yep, I’ve never seen it this way before, but wanted to report it in case it was reproducible elsewhere. Otherwise, my recollection is that altitude readouts match - in-cockpit, aircraft tab, moving map.

After WT modified the atmosphere in MSFS back around SU7 to work like the real atmosphere for non-standard temperatures and pressures, indicated and true altitudes will rarely match. LNM is showing both indicated and true altitudes.

Here is a r/w example from the Globe ADSB tracking program. This screen shot (taken just a few minutes ago) is showing traffic near my location.

ROU1883, an Airbus 321 is flying at FL310 pressure altitude - referenced to standard pressure of 29.92. 31,000 feet is what the pilot would see on his altitude display.

The “WGS84” altitude comes from the aircraft GPS, and shows true altitude MSL. The aircraft is actually flying at 32,175 feet MSL - over 1,100 higher than indicated.

Well, it’s a little closer in this session I’m in right now. I exited the last flight and restarted the sim.

What’s your QNH setting? (I don’t know where to look on the G1000 panel because I never fly aircraft that have them, but I didn’t see it looking at your screen shot.) According to my E6B, your true altitude should be about 500’ higher than your pressure altitude at that flight level and OAT. If your QNH is set to 29.92, your true altitude isn’t too far off that.

The baro reading is on the PFD in both my photos. Below the speed tape, right side.

Thanks. Missed it. The difference between 29.83 and standard is only going to make a difference of about 90 feet, so it seems LittleNavMap is in the right ballpark.

Is anyone having problems uploading flight plans into the sim since the Avionics update?, it doesn’t seem to be reading waypoints for me?, I normally put a manual waypoint about 15 miles from the airport but it doesn’t seem to be reading it, I fly IFR in a 747 btw

Did not see any issues so far. Can you post a flight plan which does not work?

Does it move waypoints far North? If yes: This is already fixed for the next update.

Hi Alex,

Many thanks for gettng in touch.

I hope it’s not me doing anything wrong here but this, for example, is my supposed flight plan:

So the waypoint is at ‘Gam35’ and should turn right when i get there, but if you look at my flight plan in the cockpit, I get this:

Capture

So as you can tell, It’s having difficulty reading the path from the waypoint to the airport.

I hope this helps describing my problem, it worked perfect since the avionics update and sorry if i’m missing anything glaringly obvious!

Steve.

Hi Steve,

looks like the whole second leg is missing in the cockpit. At least I cannot see a line to UK11.

I’m testing a fix for the “waypoints moved to North problem” and will have a look at your plan as well.
Have to see.

Thanks Alex, much appreciated!

I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the new Avionics update as this worked fine before, but thanks so much for looking into my query :slight_smile:

ta,
Steve.

I tried the exact same plan with the stock GPS in the 172 and did not see any issues. Maybe a problem with the avionics. What aircraft did you use?

This release candidate should fix the “waypoints moved to North” issue and more:

This is a 747 I use, I do know that this airplane got heavily updated in the update

Most likely an aircraft issue. LNM can export only the coordinates and waypoint names and these are correct so far. Did you try the rc1 I posted above? It has some changes in the PLN export. Might be as well triggering the issues you see.

Do you foresee the possibility of being able to add different altitudes per segment of fight, like step climbs for a long haul flight?

Sorry, but this is unlikely to happen due to the complexity in the elevation profile which already has to deal with the altitude restrictions in the procedures. Maybe if I have an idea how to solve this but not soon.
