Notes

This is a public beta release which is feature complete but might have issues.
Furthermore, translations are incomplete, some help links do not work and the user manual is not
adapted yet to the new features. Feel free to ask if something is not clear.

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

This version is ready MSFS SU10 and for X-Plane 12.

Some features like MSA, vertical paths or en-route holdings require either X-Plane, the included
AIRAC 1801 database or a Navigraph database newer or equal than AIRAC 2201.

See here for a list of issues done.
More issues are solved than publicly known on Github. This changelog lists the most important.

Please report if something does not work or does not work as expected.

Little Navmap will remind you to reload the scenery library after updating. Please do so to
benefit from new features and bug fixes.

Note that certains settings are reset to default after updating to 2.8.

A few keyboard shortcuts have changed.

Create a backup of your settings and database folder just in case you'd like to go back to the
stable release. Backup ABarthel in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ABarthel on Windows
and $HOME/.config/ABarthel on Linux and macOS.

Or see Multiple Installations
for information how to run the stable and beta versions in parallel.

Known Issues

X-Plane 12 weather and winds aloft are not read from the simulator yet. This will be added in the
next release. Use NOAA as a workaround for now.
Xpconnect build for Apple Silicon CPUs (ARM architecture) not yet available.
You can run X-Plane in the Intel emulation Rosetta as a workaround:
How to force a native M1 Mac app to run as an Intel app instead.
En-route holding courses are not correct due to an error in declination calculation. This will be
fixed with AIRAC cycle 2210.
Running Little Navmap with autoconnect for P3D, FSX or MSFS for several hours without starting
the simulator leaks resources. This is mitigated by automatically reducing the connection rate
after 30 minutes. Disable autoconnect or quit the program to avoid this.
MSFS marker beacons and airport fuel are not recognized for SU10. #919

Changes from 2.6.19 to 2.8.0.beta

Map Display

Added turn prediction line for user aircraft also having tick marks for half and one NM distance.
Enabled by default in menu View -> Show Turn Flight Path.
Added option to display selected autopilot altitude range as a dark green arc on the map. Enable
this in menu View -> Show selected altitude range. Note that some add-on aircraft misuse the
autopilot altitude which results in a wrong display. #247
Outline color (old and default style in Little Navmap) and semi-transparent (like SkyVector)
option for flight plan added. Option for semi-transparent flight plan line also affects logbook
preview and procedure preview. See options on page Map Display Flight Plan.
Added display on map and elevation profile for GLS paths. Showing information for GLS paths in
tooltip and info window now. Now showing GLS channel information in flight plan table for GLS
approach. Enable RNP/GPS path display in menu View -> Navaids -> Show GLS Approach paths or

labels for small distances in compass rose.
Added option to show compass rose with true heading. See options on page Map Display Labels in
branch Compass Rose.
Moved whole map configuration to a file maplayers.xml embedded in program. This can be
overridden in configuration folder for a detailed map display customization. Program is watching
overloaded file in settings folder for changes and updates map accordingly. See file
maplayers.xml and embedded comments for more information here:
maplayers.xml.
Fixed graphical "smearing" issues with maps not covering the whole view like the Norway N50 Topo Map.
Many more map display issues fixed and improvements added.

Map Display Themes

Added MapTiler, MapBox and Thunderforest map themes plus required API key and token assignments.

for online maps requiring API keys or tokens. These keys are collected from DGML map configuration
files and can be edited in options on page Map Display Keys. #85
Added new key {language} in DGML for custom map request URLs. This allows to fetch Google map
tiles using the user interface language instead of getting map labels in random languages. Append
&hl={language} to the download URL path in Google map themes to force map tiles in the user
interface language or &hl=en to force all maps in English. This fixes issue with random
language used for labels in some maps. Note that you have to clear the tile cache to see the
changes. See
User Manual - Disk Cache.
Added commented example for DGML configuration including new keys in data/maps/earth/example/example.dgml.

altitude. Can be shown in elevation profile (Tools -> Elevation Profile Display Options) as
aircraft label and in aircraft progress tab (Tools -> Aircraft Progress Display Options). Made
aircraft labels in elevation profile optional.
Vertical paths in approaches are now considered as restrictions and enforced while calculating
profile. Error messages can appear if altitude restrictions related to a vertical path are violated
by a too low cruise altitude.
Added option to vertically and horizontally zoom to aircraft and destination point in elevation
profile. Enable this in context menu of the elevation profile (Zoom to aircraft and destination). #868

showing warning dialog if these options are enabled.
Fixed issue with X-Plane FMS flight plan export where wrong airport designator for custom / add-on
only airports and airports using long ids.
Added X-Plane 12 FMS export which uses the same X-Plane format but a different folder.
Added separate export option for PMDG MSFS aircraft.
Added flight plan export for iFly Jets Advanced Series. #817
Added support for MSFS parking suffix to allow reloading LNMPLN flight plans. Example EDDG, 18A
to 18E. MSFS still cannot load parking positions with suffix. Not even its own ones.
Changes to Flightgear plan import and export: Waypoints with missing coordinates can now be
loaded. Waypoints marked <type>basic</type> can now be exported and loaded. Thanks a lot to
colingeniet at Github for the fix
Changed GPX loading and saving to use millisecond accuracy. Fixed timezone issues when loading and
saving GPX. GPX now allows both millisecond and second ISO date. #907

General

Scenery library database can now be loaded in background which allows the user to plan a flight while
loading. Progress dialog is not blocking access to the program now and can be brought into background.
Loading dialog now gives an option to use or discard a database after loading.
Now notifying user about wrong scenery library modes after loading. Considers MSFS and Navigraph
special cases. Allows user to change to the recommended mode after loading.
Now showing a warning dialog on startup and database switch if user has a stale simulator
database loaded. The warning shows if the scenery library database was created with a previous
Little Navmap version or if it is older than two months.
Now adding suffix ... reload advised to database in scenery library menu if a database was loaded with a
previous version of Little Navmap or if database was loaded two months ago. This is a reminder
for users to reload after simulator updates or updates of Little Navmap.
Added Validate Scenery Library Settings in menu Scenery Library which helps to set the correct
scenery library mode.
Corrected issues with runways designated by true course like BGTL. Approaches were missing runway assignments
and could not be resolved before. #870
Now allowing a no simulator state of the program instead of always showing X-Plane. This avoids the
confusing X-Plane state despite not having it installed.
Now hiding all artificial waypoints created internally for procedure or airway resolution from
search, information and tooltips.
ILS and GLS information is now always taken from Navigraph database except when using
Do not use Navigraph Database. As a result ILS course might probably not match for older
scenery data or airport add-ons. Select Do not use Navigraph Database temporarily if this is an
issue.

MSFS

Now ignoring invalid waypoints with empty ICAO region code and invalid type as they appear in
some MSFS add-on sceneries. This fixes the exception NOT NULL constraint failed: tmp_waypoint.region ... when loading. #910
Now also loading BGL files from missions to catch respective airports.
Changed handling for MSFS file Content.xml for SU10 and fixed crash when reading new file
layout. Priorities for known base folders are now forced to lowest values to ensure the correct
loading order. Other folders are loaded without any special order if not set in Content.xml.
Fixed bug where Little Navmap would only read and display a single transition from add-on
(Community) SIDs and STARs, despite these procedures actually having more than one transition. This
happens when using the latest MSFS SDK (SU9 or later).
Thanks a lot to flpduarte at Github for the fix.
Added messages for encrypted MSFS add-ons when reading the scenery library. This helps to
identify unreadable airports.
More fixes around MSFS scenery library loading.

X-Plane

Data compilation adapted for X-Plane 12 folder changes. #867
X-Plane now requires x-plane_install_11.txt or x-plane_install_12.txt and a valid installation
path to be recognized. Run X-Plane once to create this file so that Little Navmap can detect it.
Now skipping empty X-Plane apt.dat files and files having empty lines in the header to avoid
program freezing when reading malformed files.
Added airport transition level for X-Plane. This is not yet enabled in the Navigraph database.
Fixed issue Index out of bounds: Index: 5, size: 5 when reading X-Plane user_fix.dat with
optional last column missing.
More X-Plane related fixes.

Command Line #431

Start program with the help option -h from a terminal to see available command line options.

Added command line option -f or --flight-plan to load a flight plan file on startup using one
of the supported formats (.lnmpln, .pln, .fms and more).
New command line option to load and parse a flight plan route description (-d or
--flight-plan-descr). For example, use littlenavmap.exe -d "KYKM WENAS7 PERTT 4741N12051W DIABO J503 FOLDY YDC PIGLU4 CYLW CYYF CZGF" to load plan on startup.
Aircraft performance file can now be loaded from command line with option -a or --aircraft-perf.
Added option -p or --settings-path to change full path to settings and databases using an
absolute folder or a path relative to the installation folder. This allows to put all settings and
databases on another drive or into the installation folder.
