Notes

This is a stable release of Little Navmap that fixes many issues and adds some new features.

This update is recommended for all users.

macOS users: Keep in mind that you have to clear the quarantine flag when updating Little Xpconnect. See
Clearing the Quarantine Flag on macOS.

The program will remind you to reload the scenery library due to database changes. This is optional.

A big thank you to all who reported bugs and issues!

Changes from 3.0.9 to 3.0.11

Flight Plan

  • Now adding airport, parking or other start positions to the flight plan once connected to the
    simulator with an empty plan. This function can be disabled in options on page Files.
  • Now removing any alternate airport if the same airport is set as destination or if it is added
    otherwise to the flight plan.
  • Added option to disable minor error messages about missing parking spots in flight plan. Note
    that the settings for flight plan header and footer are reset to default.
  • Enabled reading and writing of NAT notation in flight plan route description. This fixes
    issues when downloading a flight plan using North Atlantic tracks from SimBrief or using the
    notation in the flight plan route description. Example: NATA is converted to NAT track A. #1110
  • Fixed issue with dropped airway information. This affected plans that have only one leg between
    departure and arrival. As a result an airway was dropped on saving, exporting and using it in the
    flight plan route description. Example: SBRJ EVKO3A.NAXOP UZ45 IBDA1A SBSP resulted in
    SBRJ EVKO3A.NAXOP IBDA1A SBSP. #1130
  • Fixed issue where parking spots could not be found resulting in an error message after reloading
    a flight plan when using the option Use Navigraph for all Features.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Made GPX file detection more tolerant. Now showing a warning if the
    GPX file does not contain any track points.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Flight plan route description is now updated after downloading or
    deleting oceanic tracks.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Now updating flight plan route description after switching simulator.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Corrected wrong error message File does not contain track points
    when loading GPX files.

Export

  • Added export format for FlightFactor Boeing 777 V2. This is a FMS format file with procedures
    stripped since the aircraft rejects loading FMS files with procedures.
  • Fixed issue where RealityXP GNS export declared the destination airport wrongly as a userpoint
    when using export option with userpoints.
  • Now using ISO date with offset from UTC in all flight plan files.

Elevation Profile

  • Increased number of samples when calculating elevation from GLOBE data to avoid missing peaks
    when drawing the elevation profile.
  • Added option for indicated altitude label to elevation profile. Enable this in menu Tools ->
    Elevation Profile Display Options in branch User Aircraft Labels -> Indicated Altitude.
  • Fixed wrong label description in profile configuration dialog mentioning wrongly
    Actual Altitude.

Map

  • Added function to decrease and increase the density of labels on the map. This is available in
    the detail toolbar button, menu Map, Ctrl+Shift+Mouse Wheel, Ctrl+Shift++ and Ctrl+Shift+-.
  • Added US VFR and IFR chart map themes.
  • Added option to show heading to departure runway position using a dashed line with arrows. This
    can be disabled in menu View -> Show Direction to Departure Runway. This line is drawn from
    the departure parking or aircraft position (if connected) and disappears when arriving at the
    runway or when taking off.
  • User and AI aircraft now drawn on top of user features like measurement lines or range rings.
  • Userpoints related to navaids like VOR now use the same size as the real navaids. Size of
    userpoints and navaids still can be changed separately in options. This affects airport, VOR, NDB,
    waypoint, Obstacle and VRP userpoints. The last three are based on the waypoint size. #1179
  • Improved display of procedure turn instructions. Reduced distance for turn leg to fix for a
    more realistic value. Extended stub leg for turn towards runway and removed distance display for
    this leg. Added missing restriction text for procedure turns.
  • Fixed alignment of procedure end or start for displaced simulator airport runways compared
    to the navdata. Example: ENOL on all simulators.
  • Approach runway position now correctly terminated at offset threshold.
  • First SID leg is now aligned with runway to avoid it being drawn all over the airport in
    some cases.
  • Better distance estimate for procedure legs terminated by altitude. Now considering altitude.
  • Fixed disappearing user aircraft tooltip after automatic trail truncation.
  • Fixed potential crash when truncating short aircraft trail and applied more optimizations
    for display.
  • Fixed issues with labels on long measurement lines and flight plan legs. Lines flipped direction
    arrows at certain zoom values.
  • Fixed issue where Great Circle airspace boundaries were drawn as a straight lines in some cases.
  • Improved display of airspaces that touch the poles.
  • Fixed issue where settings of some airspace types were not saved or applied. Note that airspace
    options are reset to default on update.
  • Added option to disable taxiway lines and names. These can be changed in options on page
    Map Labels in branch Airport Details. Note that airport display options are reset to default.
  • Fixes for menu Tools -> Reset Display Settings. These now affect only map display options in
    menu View.
  • Setting Load the map display saved settings on options page Startup and Updates now affects
    the same options as View -> Reset Display Settings now. This is map theme, map projection
    and detail levels as well.
  • Fixed issue where userpoints were not reset correctly when using
    Reset Display Settings.
  • Added shortcut Ctrl+C to copy coordinates at the cursor position in the map window to the
    clipboard. Note that you have to activate the map window by pressing F2 or clicking into it
    before using any shortcuts there.
  • Disabled Shift/Ctrl/Alt+Left/Right/up/Down keys for map scrolling to avoid shorcuts overlapping
    with operating system functions.
  • Fixed inadvertent movement or zooming on map display when using mouse wheel, keyboard shortcuts
    containing +, - or cursor keys.
  • Now stopping map drawing on overflow of highlighted map objects (e.g. selected navaids in the
    search result table) from search to avoid program freeze.
  • Fixed issue where the Too many objects message in the status bar was not reset in some cases.
  • Fixed missing tooltip for waypoints highlighted on the map which were selected in the navaid
    search result table.
  • Fixed issue where navaids like recommended fixes from flight plan procedures did not react to a
    single or double click.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Save Map as Image for AviTab now uses PNG as the default format
    since JPG may cause crashes.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed issue where images can be saved using the wrong format ignoring
    selection in the format drop down box. Now always adding file suffix according to image type.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed issue where wrong coordinates were used when selecting More ->
    Jump to Coordinates in map context menu.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed issue where procedures zoomed too far out when showing in
    procedure search. This was caused due to too far away recommended navaids like GCC/K1 for
    KASE SID 33 LINDZ1.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Splitting large aircraft trails into partitions for better performance
    and to avoid crashes.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed memory leak when drawing lines.

Scenery Library

  • Fixed crash with older databases having table airport without columns icao and iata.
  • Removed obsolete and unused tables. Tables airport_medium, airport_large, route_node_radio,
    route_edge_radio, route_node_airway and route_edge_airway. View creation in database now
    disabled. Note that this means that newer databases cannot be used by Little Navmap versions
    older than releases from around 2020. The program will show a SQL exception if this is the case.
    Update Little Navmap to the latest if you run into this.
  • Better detection of the longest runway for airports. Now ignoring water runways if airport has
    both water and land runways.
  • Added waypoint names to X-Plane and DFD compilers. #1176
  • Updated track database schema to avoid incomplete waypoint information display. #1176
  • Disabled 3D flag for empty airport display for X-Plane 12 since the 3D flag is unreliable and
    broken there. Major airports like KSEA, KORD or EDDF do not have this flag set.
  • Fixed wrong airport bounding rectangle calculation for X-Plane airports. Example: KSEA in
    X-Plane 12. This resulted in zooming to far out when double clicking the airport.
  • Fixed issue where detection of malformed MSFS airports rejected valid airport add-ons with a
    message Duplicate airport ident. This happened when add-on developers put more than one of the
    same airport into one BGL file.
  • Better airspace geometry for Navigraph databases, airspaces read from simulator
    libraries and user files. Now considering Rhumb line segments in DFD airspace description.
    Note that a workaround is used to detect the segments for simulator and user airspaces since
    required information is missing there. This eliminates wrong airspace boundaries drawn as
    bows (Great Circle lines). Note that this needs a new AIRAC cycle if using the Navigraph update.
  • Fixed duplicate reading of X-Plane airspace.txt resulting in airspaces shown twice. The file
    airspace.txt in Custom Data now correctly overrides the one in Resources.
  • Updated minor database version to 29 due to several schema changes. This results in a notice
    about a previous database version although reloading is not required.
  • Fixed issue with double and invalid COM frequencies for MSFS airports when using
    MSFS Navigraph update.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed issues reading MSA centers for X-Plane where runways were not
    detected. Now also looking for center points of ILS.

Search

  • Added option for minimum distance in logbook cleanup dialog window.
  • Fixed issue with bounding rectangle calculation which resulted in wrong results when searching by
    Distance from Mark and other functions around the antimeridian. #1184
  • Waypoints now can be searched by name.

Web Server

  • Fixes to web interface by u-an-i. Click or tap now moves to the
    correct map position. Note that you have to do a hard reload in the web browser if you see an
    incomplete map or other issues. Press Ctrl+Shift+R on most browsers to do a hard reload bypassing
    the browser cache.
  • Fixes for random crashes when using the web interface.

User Interface

  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Translations for French, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese updated.
    Thanks to Flavio, Patrick and Ricardo!
  • Added winds from airport METAR to tab Airport -> Runways in dock window Information.
  • Fixed issue where an invalid error message about a wrong X-Plane path was shown when switching
    map airport weather.
  • Now getting best guess for user aircraft type designator and category in MSFS. Using keys
    icao_type_designator and icao_model from file aircraft.cfg.
  • Added aircraft category to detect helicopters in MSFS.
  • Added help menu item pointing to keyboard shortcuts.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed reversed meaning of settings By airspace name vs. callsign and
    By airspace file name vs. callsign on options page Map Online.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed problem with wrong crash detection when shutting down operating
    system with Little Navmap running.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Now always exiting program if command line option --quit / -q was
    set, even if no other instance was found.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed wrong error message when reading flight route descriptions from
    the command line.
  • From 3.0.10.rc1 to 3.0.11: Fixed issue where dialog windows appeared behind the main window that
    made the program appear to freeze or crash.
