For decision height at those airports, could one not just use Radar Altitude? I’m still not clear on what the difference is between setting decision height in baro vrs RA.
Run the Navigraph program on your computer. There’s one that you have to run to apply the latest nav data to the sim and the aircraft that use it.
AIUI, your decision point depends on the type of approach you are flying.
For non-precision and CAT I approaches, you use Baro Ref for a decision altitude based on QNH, which on the approach charts is usually listed outside parentheses. If you are using QFE, you use the listed decision height (usually displayed inside parentheses and matches the EGPWS auto height callouts, such as 2500, 1000, 500, etc.)
Where LVP is enforced, i.e. CAT II or CAT III due to low cloud ceiling and/or low RVR AND the approach charts display a decision point with ‘RA’ listed, you use Radio Altimeter.

Either DH or RA is acceptable. I favor RA because there is less workload.

Technically, no. Each has a specific use case, as described above. In the sim world however, with no one looking over your shoulder, I agree, the difference is minor.

You need to install the Navigraph Hub app on your PC. It will allow you to update all PMDG products, plus any other add-ons you may have that Navigraph supports. It will also update the core nav data of MSFS itself.

I’ve suddenly started getting No METAR Available on the UFT when requesting weather. Simbrief download or pull to the tablet works ok. It’s also throwing the same error when requesting weather for the performance calcs too?
Everything else works, Navigraph etc. any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.
Update - could this be related to the METAR outage on Skyvector and VATSIM?
same here, no Metar is actually downloaded in the efb
same for me, but I think it has to do something with this: Live Weather Issues Affecting Users - Microsoft Flight Simulator / News & Announcements - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

If you’re subscribed to Navigrapgh and have opted-in to their emails, they send one out every time there’s a new AIRAC cycle (not minor revisions) to remind you of the new cycle, as well as let you know of new updates to their products. Highly worthwhile, which is a rarity in email these days, lol.
Personally, I make it a habit to cycle through Navigraph Hub, iniManager, Orbx Central, FSDT Instakker etc every few days just to be sure everything is up to date for all my sim products.

This has happened to me three times since the most recent aircraft update, including once yesterday 4 hours and 26 minutes into a flight from PHNL to KLAX, descending toward the California cost. I’m not sure if it’s the fault of the aircraft, the most recent SU14 Beta, or even recent Windows Updates. But it’s incredibly frustrating.

Yes, all weather sources seem to be down right now.

Yeah, looks like it is to do with the update i suspect
Was at gate, would have been really hacked off mid flight
On not on SU14 beta by the way
Hope there is a fix soon 
FBW A320 seems ok so its definitely pmdg
for me was during a 1,5 hour vatsim flight, after a go-around while changing alt. at mcp

■■■■■■■■■■■, like the other poster who was on a 4hour flight, that really sucks, i feel for you both
Like i said mine was at gate setting up the fmc via the efb, funny thing was i could exit the sim and retry but after a while , just as i was entering my flight plan -freeze
The only thing i could do though which was equally strange the EFB was working ok , but nothing else i clicked on
The FBW A320 was fine as i switched planes and flew from EGKK to ENGM no problems gate to gate
I had a freeze today on approach after getting traffic in my path with TA/RA active. In the forum they suggest TA only, will try this. Is this another/new type of freeze?

Not sure i always fly TA/RA but will try what you suggested, see if it freezes just on TA
Let me know how you get on please
When I experienced the freeze after 4-1/2 hours yesterday, I was specifically on TA only in an attempt to avoid the freeze. And the time before I was sitting at the gate, had pulled in flight info into the tablet and hadn’t even started prepping the plane really at all, so the transponder was still at its default (Standby, per my usual default panel state).
