# Version 2.6.18
This release adapts *Little Navmap* to the latest MSFS changes that cause problems when loading the
scenery library as well as more fixes and improvements affecting other simulators too.
This release contains only the most important or easy to integrate issues. Development is going on
in parallel for the next release 2.8 and an alpha version 2.7 was already released.
## Changes from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18
### User Interface
* Removed hillshading option since server providing the data was shut down by `User:theDJ`. This will
be replaced by other maps in the next version of *Little Navmap*. #838
* Fix for Windows icon notification preventing toolbar hiding on windows with `Raise Windows` options enabled.
* `Docking Allowed` setting is now applied to map window as well.
### MSFS
* Fixed issue where all airports were recognized as add-on with MSFS update 9 due to new
folder `fs-base-genericairports`.
* Corrected detection of MSFS Navigraph update due to name change in `manifest.json`. This fixes
issues where add-on airports did not update scenery correctly.
* Fixed issues for updating airports by disabling a corner case from FSX and P3D which does not
apply to MSFS. Before a feature was not updated if the new airport did not contain new
features like aprons or taxiways. Example LICC add-on.
* Corrected closed airport logic for MSFS. Now fully relying on closed airport flag for MSFS to get
consistent behavior with the simulator. This can result in closed airports having open runways and
open airports having all runways closed. #876
* Fixed issue in scenery library loader where airports were wrongly recognized as MSFS POI dummies.
### Weather
* Fixed IVAO weather download to use new interface. IVAO weather URL is now reset to new value on update.
* Added reset buttons for weather URLs in options dialog.
### Flight Plan
* Fixed issue where wrong distance was calculated for disconnected course to fix flight plan legs
which resulted in wrong leg and cursor positions in elevation profile.
* Fixed issue where flight plan distance to destination was not correct in some cases.
* Fixed issues with anti-meridian detection and line split resulting in kinks in flight plan
depiction around 180° East and West.
### Logbook
* Fixed issue where all logbook attachments were replaced with the files from the first edited entry
when doing bulk edit. #829
* Query for airport by official code failed if ICAO columns was not available or not populated.
Could not find airport in logbook entry dialog when using MSFS. #808
* Increased limit in logbook statistics from 250 to 1000 rows.
### Other
* Now skipping empty lines in X-Plane file header which appear in some malformed `apt.dat` files.
* Fixed issue when downloading NAT tracks containing `PBCS TRACKS AS FOLLOWS/V W X/END OF PBCS OTS`.
* Now dropping all artificial waypoints created only for procedure or airway resolution.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.17
This release adapts *Little Navmap* to the latest MSFS changes that cause crashes when loading the
scenery library, as well as other fixes and improvements that also affect X-Plane.
## Changes from 2.6.16 to 2.6.17
### MSFS
* Fixed crashes when loading scenery library of MSFS SU6. #799
* Corrected MSFS airport detection. Now ignoring airport closed flag which removes many
POI wrongly detected as airports.
* Reduced warnings for unknown BGL records to avoid flooding the log with messages and
crashing when reading scenery.
### Map
* Limited minimum detail level to -2 to avoid confusion about missing map features when user
selects a too low value. Now resetting details to default on update.
* Fixed issue where runway offset markings were not visible on unknown runway surfaces like when
using scenery library mode `Use Navigraph for all Features`.
* Corrected drawing for logbook entries where departure or destination airport could not be found
in the scenery library database.
### Options
* Changed IVAO weather URL to use HTTPS (secure connection). The URL is now reset to the new
default on first startup.
* Fixed issue where AI and user aircraft tooltip settings were not restored in options.
### Flight Plan
* Corrected flight plan calculation using radio navaids. Selected navaids were too close in some
cases. Example: `PAYA MDO ODK CDB ELF DUT PADK` where CDB and ELF are too close resulting in
zig-zag routing.
* Added heading for departure parking position to LNMPLN flight plan format.
* Adjusted cost factor for flight plan calculation to avoid direct calculation (no airways at all)
on the last two ticks of the slider. Default value for slider after installation is not centered.
* Fixed issues where departure position type (runway, parking, helipad or airport) was not saved in
LNMPLN after changing start position to a runway or assigning departure airport. Departure position
type now set correctly to `runway` after assigning a runway automatically.
### Logbook Search
* Fixed broken search for departure and destination airport in logbook.
* Disabled not working airport filters in logbook search context menu (`Filter by ...` in context
menu). These will be enabled again in a later version.
* X-Plane: Fixed several issues where an airport using official ids (ICAO, FAA, IATA or local) was
not found in logbook context menu, logbook edit dialog and information display for log entries.
### Other and User Interface
* Fixed issue where an internal cache gave wrong results which caused random wrong airport
assignments when working with flight plans or after switching scenery library databases.
* Removed slow down in internal airport queries when searching by official codes. This caused short
freezes when clicking on an airport for information in some cases.
* Fixed several issues where airports were wrongly identified as X-Plane airports. Corrected
display of airport ids.
* Fixed issue where a X-Plane was still wrongly detected while using scenery library
mode `Use Navigraph for all Features`.
* X-Plane: Adjusted display options for official airport codes. IATA is now used before internal
ident in all cases. Route description now shows IATA code as well if available.
* Adjustments to flight plan and aircraft centering when getting close to ground while flying.
Now avoiding too close zoom.
* Added Pilot Nav to airport link list.
* Removed `Work offline` option in file menu since it is of limited use and causes too many
problems if users check this inadvertently.
* Fixed bug with wrong airspace assignment for class F and G when reading OpenAir files. #797
* Better coordinate parsing. Removing separators `|`, `;`, `_` and `:` for latitude and longitude now.
* Fixed several typos in user interface and more small user interface improvements.
### Build and Development
* Now using Qt libraries 5.15.2.
* Changed build to use OpenSSL library provided by the Qt installer on Windows.
* Updated flight plan schema file (https://www.littlenavmap.org/schema/lnmpln.xsd) and LNMPLN file
format documentation in the user manual.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.16
This version fixes flight plan issues with X-Plane as well as flight plan export and printing issues.
## Changes from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16
### X-Plane flight plan export and loading #741
* Now falling back to DEP/DES keywords in X-Plane FMS flight plan files. These keywords denote
departure or destination as a waypoint or a not identifiable airport opposed to ADEP/ADES. This
avoids loading issues in X-Plane FMS and third party tools. Flight plans should be loadable in
X-Plane FMS and GPS in any case. The conditions for this case are below:
- Airport ident is longer than four characters. Example: White Lake (`XC0004`).
- Airport has ICAO and this does not match internal id. Example: Torres with official ICAO id `SSTE`
using internal ident of `SBTR`.
- Airport has no ICAO but FAA code which does not match the internal id. Example: Red Lion with
FAA code `JY73` using internal ident of `N73`.
- Airport has neither of above but a local code which does not match internal. Example: Edmonton
Cooking Lake having local code of `CEZ3` and internal X-Plane ident `EZ3`.
* Now truncating all X-Plane airport idents to six characters. Also the ones used in intermediate
waypoints.
* Enabled loading of X-Plane FMS plans with truncated airport ids.
### General
* Added airport elevation to tab `Runways` and airport transition altitude in tab `Weather` in information window.
* Fixed issues with flight plan and waypoint remarks being truncated when saving plan as HTML,
printing plan or copying plan as CSV (`Ctrl+C` in table).
* Fixed issues when copying CSV text to clipboard in flight plan table and search result tables (`Ctrl+C` in table).
Wrong columns were copied into the CSV text if columns in the table were reordered.
* Added missing flight plan remarks field to HTML export and print.
* Table columns which are shrinked to minimum width are now excluded from export to HTML and CSV.
* Fixed issue where the wrong flight plan columns were printed or exported to HTML or columns were missing.
This happened if the user rearranged the flight plan table columns by moving the headers around.
* Small corrections to options dialog text, aircraft labels on the map (`TCAS` vs `XPDR`) and airport
labels on the map.
* More tolerance for finding airports when loading flight plans. Trying all available internal and
official ids (ICAO, FAA, IATA and local) now.
* Now also showing ILS frequency for final approach in flight plan table for circling as well as
IGS, LDA, LOC and SDF approaches if navaid is present.
### Web interface
Fixes provided by [u-an-i](https://github.com/u-an-i).
* Fixed JavaScript errors on desktop due to pointermove after generalising touch zoom.
* Now giving user commands always priority if server does not respond.
* Adjusted fast map refresh to not produce images too large at for slow connections.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.15
This version contains bug fixes, small user interface improvements, support for MSFS scenery
library changes and a new airport ident search for X-Plane.
## Important Notes
* All simulators: Reload the scenery library to get the changes. Also update *Little Navmap* on
remote/networked computers before copying a new scenery library database. Older *Little Navmap*
versions will crash with the new databases.
* MSFS: Avoid the scenery library mode `Do not use Navigraph Database` if you have the Navigraph
update for MSFS installed. You will see errors in procedures. Instead directly update the scenery
database of *Little Navmap* using the Navigraph FMS Data Manager.
* The manual is not updated for the webserver / web user interface changes. Scroll by clicking or
tapping and zoom by using the mouse wheel or the two-finger pinch gesture.
* The table column order and width for the search results is reset to default for the search result
table in tab `Airports`.
* The status bar can be hidden in some cases. Show it again by selecting `Window` -> `Show Statusbar`.
* The window layout might be different after updating in some cases. Reset it to default using
`Window` -> `Reset Window Layout to Default` or load a saved window layout.
## Changes from 2.6.14 to 2.6.15
* Updated English and German manual for airport ident changes in search and information display.
* [Ident in Airport Search](https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/SEARCH.html#airport-search-ident)
* [Override in Airport Search](https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/SEARCH.html#airport-search-override)
* [Ident in Information and Tooltips](https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/INFO.html#airport-ident-info)
* [Ident in Flight Plan Route Description](https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/ROUTEDESCR.html#routedescr-airport-ident)
* [Allow Window moving](https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/MENUS.html#allow-window-moving)
### General
* Changed weather download process to minimize user interface freezes during wind aloft or METAR
downloads with slow internet connections. #737
* Correcting VATSIM weather address which was taken over wrongly from old versions in some cases.
The wrong address caused quickly repeating downloads.
* Now allowing to set departure airport as alternate in the map context menu. The menu item was
wrongly disabled before.
* Added estimated flight time to top of descent and destination to profile header.
* Menu `Weather` -> `Airport Weather` now allows to disable the weather source which also disables
all file accesses. The airport weather menu item and toolbar button will disabled if this is
selected.
* Added function to disable the moving of dock windows by click and drag on the title bar. Uncheck
`Allow Window moving` in menu `Window` to avoid accidental movement of dock windows which might
mess up the window layout. You can still resize the dock windows at the border.
* Fixed issue where flight plan calculation window header text was not updated on flight plan
changes.
* Fixed crash when decoding procedures. Example: Sumburgh (EGPB), approach ILS 27, transition D064L
for P3D scenery.
* Fixed crash that occured when moving flight plan legs in empty or one leg plan with the keyboard.
Now updating context menu items in flight plan table accordingly.
* Showing status bar again which might be hidden after recent updates.
### MSFS
* Adapted MSFS scenery library loader to new scenery file structures in MSFS introduced in version
1.18.9. This is needed to avoid missing procedures. #735
* Several fixes in MSFS flight plan export. Approach transition waypoints are now removed. Removing
airway for STAR entry waypoints. SID and STAR transitions can be used now. Keep in mind that some
information will be lost when reloading MSFS PLN files. Several problems with MSFS flight plan
import remain.
* Localizer approaches were not recognized when loading MSFS PLN files into *Little Navmap*. Fixed now.
* Corrected export for circling approaches and localizer backcourse approaches in MSFS PLN which
can now be loaded.
### X-Plane
* Added ICAO, FAA, IATA and local airport codes to search result table as well as in information
and tooltips. This is only used by X-Plane. Move the columns in the search result table out of the
way by clicking and dragging the column header or shrink them to minimum if you're not an X-Plane
user. Note that Navigraph additionally provides IATA codes while FSX, P3D, and MSFS do not provide
any additional official codes at all. #706
* Enabled search for the additional airport codes in ident field in airports tab. This means that
*Little Navmap* matches all internal, ICAO, FAA, IATA or local idents to the search input.
* X-Plane internal idents (`X...`, five or more characters) are now hidden throughout the whole
user interface except in information and tooltips if an airport has one or more official idents
assigned. The internal ids might show up occasionally, e.g. in the flight plan table when
switching simulators.
* The flight plan route description now uses and outputs one of the official codes for airports if
available.
* Fixed issues with X-Plane flight plan export where airports have an internal ident different from
official ICAO and FAA codes.
* Fixed missing display for X-Plane airport flatten attribute.
* Fixed potential crash in search functions for airport.
* Resetting table layout for airport search since columns have changed. #707
* Added columns `faa` and `local` to airport table and removed column `xpident` in database schema.
Database minor version updated to 20.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.14
This version contains bug fixes, small user interface improvements and support for the new
IVAO interface which allows update rates of 15 seconds for online flying.
## Important Notes
* MSFS: Avoid the scenery library mode `Do not use Navigraph Database` if you have the Navigraph
update for MSFS installed. You will see errors in procedures. Instead directly update the scenery
database of *Little Navmap* using the Navigraph FMS Data Manager.
* The manual is not updated for the webserver / web user interface changes. Scroll by clicking or
tapping and zoom by using the mouse wheel or the two-finger pinch gesture.
* The table column order and width for the search results is reset to default for the tabs `Online
Clients` and `Online Servers`.
## Changes from 2.6.13 to 2.6.14
### Flight Plan
* Fixed issue where waypoints being part of a missed approach were removed when saving a flight
plan. #728
* Now disabling `Add Alternate` in map context menu for empty flight plan to avoid crash when
selecting without plan.
* Enabled information display on right click or double click in flight plan table for navaids which
are part of a procedure. Menu item was wrongly disabled before. #727
* Fixed problem where flight plan could be internally corrupted after saving. This caused a wrong
warning about invalid destination airports when exporting plans and other issues like disappearing
flight plan legs.
* Fixed issue where Garmin Base Camp could not load GPX files. Added missing attributes and default
namespace in XML according to specification.
* Now avoiding ICAO region when exporting MSFS flight plans since it is not reliable for airports
and the sim garbles the flight plan when loading. Example: Direct EDMG to LHSK.
* Reworked resolving of departure parking, helipad or runway positions from flight plan. Now
omitting positions which are too far away from saved position for all simulators now. Fixed
issue where helipad starting position was not loaded correctly in some cases.
* Saving and loading departure type (runway, parking, helipad, etc.) to LNMPLN now.
* Reorganized and cleaned up text in tab `Fuel Report`.
### Logbook
* Now omitting flight plan when saving a logbook entry instead of saving an invalid plan with missing
waypoints. This happens if no flight plan was set while flying. Note that you still might see an
exception if you try to save a flight plan from older log entries from flights without a plan.
* Now ignoring invalid or missing flight plans when saving GPX files from logbook entry. Previously
showed an exception `Invalid LNMPLN flight plan file ".". No waypoints found.`.
* Adjustments for flying user aircraft detection to avoid creating log entries for low passes. #693
### Procedures
* Now correcting final procedure legs where last altitude restriction is wrongly below airport
elevation. This can happen due to errors in scenery libraries or runway threshold elevation being
below general airport elevation. *Little Navmap* refused to build the elevation profile if this
happened. #711
* Fixed issue where a far away VOR was selected instead of a closer ILS with the same ident when
resolving fixes for procedures. Example: LJMB SID PETO5D RWY 32 showed a 800 NM leg towards a
remote VOR.
* Corrected display issue in flight plan table where DME terminated procedure legs showed the wrong
navaid and the wrong distance. Example: EGPH I06 via TLA showed `D322O+5` instead of
`TLA+20`.
### User Interface
* Added `Toggle Flight Simulator Connection` function with keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+Shift+A` in
tools menu. This allows to quickly connect to the simulator.
* Added previously missing keyboard shortcuts for functions `View` -> `Show Aircraft` (`Ctrl+Alt+B`)
and `View` -> `Show Aircraft Trail` (`Ctrl+Alt+T`).
* Added keyboard shortcuts for map themes: `Ctrl+Alt+1` to `Ctrl+Alt+6` for default themes.
* Fixed issue where coordinates for online aircraft map link were not updated in information panel.
Clicking on the link `Map` showed the wrong aircraft position as a result. #722
* VOR now shows `Calibrated declination` and `Magnetic declination` in information window where the
latter one is the environment value.
* Added flown distance and takeoff time to progress tab. This is also available without flight plan.
### Scenery Library
* Fixed issue where empty folders like `OneStore` in the wrong place confused detection of MSFS.
Now also checking for file `.../fs-base/layout.json` in required path.
* Now logging empty, invalid or inaccessible XML and JSON files while scanning for MSFS or P3D scenery
instead of throwing an exception. #720
* Now computing ARINC approach id (e.g. `I27C`) for all approaches from FSX, P3D and MSFS to allow
better procedure detection when loading flight plans across different simulator databases.
### Other
* Added support for IVAO JSON 2 format in whazzup parser. Removed unneeded attributes for online
airspaces and clients. Resetting online client, center and server search result table layout for
database schema changes. Update rate is now 15 seconds for IVAO instead of two minutes. #722
* Several updates to the internal webserver / web user interface by [u-an-i](https://github.com/u-an-i).
* X-Plane and *Little Xpconnect*: Now using more datarefs from flightmodel which are not affected by
failures. #693
* Updated Qt libraries to 5.12.11.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.13
This version contains mostly bug fixes, adaption to MSFS scenery library changes, support for the new
X-Plane TCAS scheme and a reworked web user interface.
Version 2.6.12.beta was an unofficial beta release.
## Important Notes
* You have to update/reinstall *Little Navconnect* and *Little Xpconnect* if you use these since
the data protocol has changed. This version is compatible with *Little Navconnect* 2.6.11
and *Little Xpconnect* 1.0.24 or newer.
* Aircraft label settings are reset back to default. Adjust these in the options dialog on page
`Map Display 2`.
* All MSFS scenery library related changes need at least MSFS version 1.16.2 .
* MSFS users need to reload the scenery library to new features like SID and STAR.
* Do not use the scenery library mode `Do not use Navigraph Database` if you have the Navigraph
udpate installed. You will see errors in procedures. Instead update the scenery database of *Little
Navmap* using the Navigraph FMS Data Manager.
## Changes from 2.6.11 to 2.6.13
### Flight Plans
* Corrected loading and saving of GPX tracks. Now also saving timestamps and considering
disconnected trail segments. A flight where the aircraft was moved or warped during flight results
in a straight line connecting the two segments. Changing aircraft, restarting the simulator or
*Little Navmap* results in disconnected trail segments.
* Fixed issue causing error messages on flight plan elevation profile calculation if destination
airport is below sea level and an approach procedure is used.
* Flight cruise altitude was set wrongly after calculating route with metric altitude units.
* Now omitting visual reporting points (like `VP123`) and other obscure numbered waypoints from
route calculation. Also ignoring half degree points like `H5711` in north atlantic now. Simplified
and optimized loading of routing network.
* Fixed issue where a flight plan calculation resulted in not optimal routes. This happened when a
nearby navaid connected to the airway system could not be found.
### Flight Plan Export
* Enabled departure parking position for MSFS flight plan export and import. Enabled check for
parking position for MSFS export which shows a warning if starting on a runway.
You can also set a fuel pad as starting position but note that runways and helipads as starting
positions will be ignored by MSFS.
* More relaxed user waypoint naming conventions for MSFS. Now allowing more special characters.
* Corrected Aerosoft CRJ flight plan export as far as possible. Now exporting a list of waypoints
instead of airway routes for MSFS CRJ to minimize issues when loading plan in aircraft.
Adapted changed keywords in `.flp` file and compressing airway segments now. #632
* Added export of modified PLN format for Integrated Simavionics / ISG devices and gauges.
* Export option for MSFS PMS50 GTN750 Garmin added. This export saves the flight plan using a fixed
filename `fpl.pln`.
* Now always adding procedure entry and exit waypoints for flight plan export formats not
supporting procedures like FSX/P3D PLN. User can an additional waypoint in the simulator if needed.
* Corrected default flight plan pattern to use departure and destination ident if flight plan
pattern is empty. Used departure airport ident wrongly before.
* Changes to allow updates for new export formats.
* Now clearing invalid procedures (red error message below flight plan table) before saving LNMPLN.
Reloading a saved LNMPLN clears any error messages now.
### Procedures and Scenery Library
* Now fully recognizing SID and STAR from MSFS scenery library. Many thanks to
[icykoneko](https://github.com/icykoneko) for implementing this. #649
* Adapted loading of approach procedures and some airport structures to new MSFS changes since
1.16.2. This fixes the issue of empty and not selectable approaches in the procedure tab.
* Constant turn radius legs in procedures are now correctly depicted for MSFS.
* Fixed issue where some navaids did not get airport ident assigned if in different BGL file.
* Other improvements for procedure drawing.
* Added speed limit for MSFS procedure legs.
* Now checking all MSFS procedures before saving in the database. A warning will be logged and the
procedure will be omitted if not valid.
* Now omitting closed dummy airport structures having no runways and no start positions which are
used by MSFS as POIs.
* Fixed issue where an error was shown when loading `Library.xml` files from add-on aircraft.
* `Library.xml` files are now considered when excluding folders from loading.
* Removed exception for invalid files in X-Plane CIFP path. Now simply writing a warning to the log
file.
### Map
* Fixed issue where tooltips and click regions for route preview were wrongly active when showing
more than on logbook entry highlighted.
* Added new airspace types MCTR, TRSA and GCA where GCAis for unknown and general types. #607
* Function `Center map on aircraft and next flight plan waypoint` now uses defined box for aircraft
and waypoint to avoid aircraft or next waypoint leaving screen space. More improvements to aircraft
centering to avoid permanent updates or hanging view.
* Corrected flight plan editing on map which could cause various issues if editing near a missed
approach which is hidden on the map.
* Removed wrongly drawn procedure point underlay (like overfly indication) from intercept point for
legs.
* Now updating online centers (transceivers) in VATSIM network every five minutes. Fixes issue
where user had to restart LNM to update VATSIM centers.
### Logbook
* Logbook entry now uses a separate aircraft trail which does not include previously flown segments
from other flights.
* Corrected storing of local real time in logbook. Now uses a time format with timezone (not shown
in logbook search result table).
* Avoiding crash if previously created logbook entry cannot be found on landing.
## User Interface and General
* Completely reworked web user interface. Now with mouse wheel zoom, a mode to follow the user
aircraft and more. Big thanks to [u-an-i](https://github.com/u-an-i) for implementing this!
* Now using new X-Plane TCAS AI and traffic scheme based on `sim/cockpit2/tcas/targets` datarefs.
Note that X-Plane provides only limited information about AI or multiplayer aircraft. Only
transponder code, position, groundspeed, vertical speed and heading are available. #525
* Fetching transponder code for all simulators now.
* Added transponder code to user and AI aircraft. Now showing in tooltips, information and map.
* Added transponder code option to aircraft labels. Note that aircraft label settings are now reset
back to default.
* Added properties to transferred simulator aircraft data to avoid future incompatibilities when
adding new values.
* Increased data version to 11 to force incompatibility. This requires to update/install *Little
Navconnect* and *Little Xpconnect* as well.
* Added links in flight plan table header to quickly get information and jump to departure,
departure parking and destination on map.
* Added clickable airport link to procedure search header to get information and jump to airport on
the map.
* Corrected issue where airport files were not found in related documents folder when using
translated file and folder names. Adapted all translations to this change.
* Added new userpoint icons based on [Bushtalk Radio](https://bushtalkradio.com/) categories.
* *Little Xpconnect*: Offloaded loading of aircraft files and scanning for keys to separate thread
to avoid blocking main thread on startup. This could have caused stutters when starting X-Plane.
* Chinese translation revised. Thanks to [Tong Hui](https://github.com/tonghuix) and
[yudongx](https://github.com/yudongx) for their effort.
* Small updates to user manual regarding MSFS limitations.

## Changes from 2.6.10 to 2.6.11
### Weather
* Fixed `Error downloading or reading wind data` issue. Adapted URL for winds aloft download to
NOAA changes and added `atmos` as directory. #623
* Now suppressing wind and other downloads with log warning message if URLs are empty. #623
* New decompression methods to speed up weather and track downloads.
* Now showing airport weather symbols on higher zoom levels. Avoiding simple line on wind barb
which can be confused with low wind.
### Flight Plans
* Corrected approach identifier in FLP flight plan export and loading for Aerosoft aircraft. Now
using ARINC identifier for approaches and ignoring transitions of type `VECTOR`. Adapted changed
keywords in file for CRJ. Problems still appear when loading flight plans into the aircraft. This
will be fixed in one of the next updates.
* Added extra entry for Aerosoft MSFS CRJ in multi export to avoid loading issues because of a
too long file name.
* Added patch by Slawek Mikula to support loading of Aviamaps flight plans. #616
* Exporting online network flight plan files from menu now correctly remembers last used folder for
each format.
### Other
* Adjustments to drawing. ILS, online aircraft and AI aircraft are now shown at higher zoom levels.
* Added support for new VATSIM JSON version 3 data feed. Better update rate for online networks is now
one minute for VATSIM and PilotEdge and two minutes for IVAO. Allowing centers and clients (VATSIM
prefile) without coordinates now throughout program. Keep in mind that the real center boundaries are
not depicted yet. #606
* MSFS: Now ignoring invalid content types like `Unknown` in MSFS `manifest.json` file which are
often set wrongly by add-on developers. This kept add-on airports from showing up.
* Fixed issue where userdata CSV backup files could not be loaded and had to be manually
corrected before import.
* Updates for detection of military airports and name capitalization.
* More small user interface corrections.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.10
This is a bugfix release which addresses a crash that can occur when loading flight plans.
## Known Issues
Read the linked chapter below to minimize issues when loading flight plans into MSFS:

https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/APPENDIX.html#problems-msfs .
## Changes from 2.6.9 to 2.6.10
* Fixed crash that occurs when showing the dialog `The flight plan had no valid start position` on
startup. This kept the user from starting *Little Navmap*.
* Removed wrong warning dialog about start position when loading MSFS flight plans. MSFS cannot
load start positions like gates from a flight plan file.
* Fixed missing time, fuel and altitude values for departure and destination legs in flight plan
table.
* Corrected message in progress tab which gave the wrong impression that program is already
connected when using a network connection.
* Fixed issue where minimum zoom was wrongly set in the elevation profile in some cases. As a
result the user could not zoom in to the minimum of around 4 NM and was stuck at much higher levels.
* Changed keyboard shortcut for `Create Approach` in context menus to `Alt+Shift+R` to avoid
overlap with `Calculate Flight Plan`.
* Added new sub menu `Track Sources` in menu `Flight Plan` which allows to enable or disable the
different track systems to load. Note that AUSOTS is disabled per default since there are no flex
tracks available for almost one year and the service is unreliable causing download errors.
* More small user interface and map display improvements.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.9

## Changes from 2.6.7 to 2.6.8
### Help and Manuals
* Revised German user manual for spelling and grammar errors.
* Small additions and corrections to English manual.
### General
* Reverted change that was needed for work around a MSFS crash which occured when connecting. Now
fetching destination and departure for AI aircraft again.
* Fixed unrecoverable crash on startup which can occur with Mercator projection zoomed far out.
* Resolved crashes when showing information for VOR and NDB having no type like `High` or
`Terminal`.
* Added error handling for missing layout file on startup if `Load window layout from last used
file` in `Options` on page `Startup and Updates` is checked. Removing or renaming the layout file
resulted in an unrecoverable crash on startup.
* Fixed procedure display issues for turn bow after circular legs.
Example: LGSR VOR-B transition BINKI.
* Fixed issue where weather from FSX and P3D was not transferred across networked connections.
* Logbook details (route preview and trail) on the map are now only shown if one entry is selected
in the logbook search result table. Selecting more than one entry shows only the direct connection
lines if enabled. This fixes performance issues when selecting many logbook entries.
* Added warning dialog when user switches to offline mode.
* Fixed issues with disappearing flight plan and measurement lines. Lines might still disappear
near the poles for long flight plan legs depending on zoom factor.
* Navaid resolution when loading flight plans or switching scenery databases is now more tolerant
for wrong ICAO regions. Navaids were marked red with an error in the flight plan table before if
the region did not match.
* Fixed issue resulting in degraded drawing performance for airport diagrams. This was most visible
on large airports.
* Various drawing and user interface corrections.
### Flight Plan
* Fixed issue where waypoints inserted for procedure endpoints received wrong altitude when saving
or exporting flight plans right after calculation. This causes error messages when loading the
resulting LNMPLN files. #608
* Now extracting ICAO airport idents for waypoints, NDB and VOR for MSFS export. PLN element
`ICAOAirport` was missing before and caused crashes when loading flight plans in MSFS. #614
* Split up export options for JARDesign and Rotate aircraft to allow export for both separately.
* Corrections to X-Plane FMS export. Using DEP and DES keywords now instead of truncating ident.
This allows to reload the plan in *Little Navmap*.
* Fixed regression where circle-to-land approaches could not be loaded by X-Plane due to missing
destination runway.
* Fixed flight plan export for FSX and MSFS which used the wrong coordinates for destination
element `DestinationLLA` in flight plan. This confused third party programs.
* Corrected wrong departure position for saved LNMPLN and FSX/P3D PLN flight plans. Now uses
position from parking, helipad or runway/start for PLN `DepartureLLA` and LNMPLN `Start` element.
#613
* Fixed issue where LNMPLN flight plan procedures were replaced with waypoints inadvertently if
enabled in export options menu. This happened when saving LNMPLN plans with multiexport.
* Removed extra space to fix flight plan export for iFly (`.FLTPLAN`).
* Other small corrections for flight plan export.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.7
## Known Issues
* No SID and STAR yet from MSFS scenery library. This will come with a future update.
* MSFS multiplayer traffic is not shown in *Little Navmap*.
See user manual for further known problems:
https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/APPENDIX.html#problems .
## Changes from 2.6.6 to 2.6.7
### Help
* Updated German online and included PDF manual as well as legend for changes in version 2.6.
https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/de
* Corrections to English online and PDF manual as well as map legend.
### MSFS
* **Added workaround for the simulator crashes that were introduced with the MSFS 1.12.13.0 update.**
This was possible due to a hint in the official forum. The workaround disables the display of departure and
destination for AI.
### User Interface
* Corrected issue where status bar was hidden on first start or after first installation.
Now forcing status bar to be visible again when updating from any older version to 2.6.7.
* Flight plan calculation window changed to appear near cursor on first show to avoid random
placement off screen.
* Added recovery if main window gets off screen after changing monitors. Puts window back on top
left of main screen if it is not visible.
* Fix for Windows removing file extensions when these are hidden in Windows Explorer. This prevented
saving of map images.
* Winds aloft now scanning for the latest dataset to avoid outdated reports. Note that reports
might still be outdated at times which happens if no newer one is available.
### Map and Elevation Profile
* Fixed cut off altitude labels on the elevation profile left area.
* Measurement lines now use the declination at the end to calculate magnetic great circle course at
end of line. The start course is still calculated based on start declination or attached
navaid declination.
* Fixed issue where wrong `Too many objects` message was shown and map performance degraded with
tracks enabled.
* Fixed several issues when centering route or flight plan legs with very long flight plans.
* Fixed issues when painting aircraft trail around the anti-meridian.
* Now painting full aircraft trail even when jumping long distances.
* Adjustments and optimizations for taxiway label drawing. Map shows more labels now.
* Markers are now fetched from the simulator database in default scenery mode just like the ILS.
Previously markers from add-on sceneries were not visible.
* Fixed issues where marker tooltips appeared after hiding ILS and markers.
* Fixed zooming functions with keyboard input in map where normal zooming was not possible on US
and other keyboard layouts.
* Disabled home key which zoomed the map all way out when hit accidentally.
* Fixed crash when disabling all labels for measurement lines.
This caused the program to crash on startup which was hard to recover.
### Procedures
* Fixed issue where intercept procedure legs were not calculated correctly.
Examples: LGKO SID 32 KOPA3A and LILJ SID DOL1W.
* Small improvements in procedure drawing for turn legs to avoid too large course
discrepancies between label and line caused by drawing turn.
* Corrected drawing for several procedure leg types and labels in elevation profile.
### Scenery Library
* Now also including MSFS scenery with content type `CORE` which kept *Little Navmap* from loading
some add-on airports.
* Now skipping file `maintenance.bgl` from Navigraph update in MSFS scenery library which caused
warnings when loading.
* Airport names now loaded from base scenery with Navigraph update in MSFS. Were missing previously.
* Now omitting scenery library entries which are marked with `active="false"` in `Content.xml`.
This lets *Little Navmap* to recognize changes made by scenery management tools now.
### Flight Plan and Export
* Now always adapting departure and destination airport names to the names taken from
the selected scenery library. This also affects the proposed files names when saving or exporting
flight plans. Behavior before was confusing since it kept an airport name from a previously used
simulator scenery database.
* Flight plan calculation now correctly omits waypoints which are part of a procedure.
These should be avoided for en-route navigation and are excluded now from
calculation except for airway waypoints.
* Folder names are now remembered correctly for MSFS and FSX/P3D manual flight plan export instead
of using an arbitrary place depending on scenery library selection.
* Now setting voice type to `Full` as a default for vPilot export since other values produce
error messages.
* Applied workaround for XML files with wrong encoding in header. This
helps to read wrongly decoded ForeFlight flight plans which are saved in UTF-16 while having a
UTF-8 indication in the file header.
* Fix for GPX export to allow saving of files and trails without flight plan.
An empty flight plan does not disable the export menu item now and allows to save only the trail as GPX.
* Fixed issue with X-Plane FMS plans where long airport idents like `XRP0001` cannot be loaded by
the simulator. Idents are now truncated to six characters.
* Exported FLP flight plans `Aerosoft Airbus and others` and `Aerosoft CRJ` now get a suffix
`01.flp` to avoid import problems in the aircraft. Note that the number is static and is not counted up.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.6
## Important
* The data exchange protocol has changed. You have to update *Little Navconnect* (if using
remote/network connections) and *Little Xpconnect* (if using X-Plane) too. Both are included in
the *Little Navmap* download package.
* Reload the scenery library database to see fixes and improvements.
* *Little Navmap* asks to create a recommended folder structure for files on first start after updating to 2.6 versions.
Let the program create the paths if you like to use them and move your files accordingly.
Note that this is purely optional. All Files of *Little Navmap* can be stored in any place.

### Flight Plan and Export
* Fixed issue where airways were not selected in flight plan calculation after a SID exit point
resulting in not optimal flight plans.
* Corrected wrong display of distance in leg ident (e.g. `TAU+4`) in flight plan which showed too
small numbers in some cases.
* Added missing `All files` filter in all flight plan file save dialogs.
### Logbook
* Now excluding flights with wrong simulator time (negative duration) from logbook statistics.
This can happen if a simulator reports wrong UTC time or a user changes the simulator time during
flight. Correct these manually if you see this.
* Added the missing total flight time numbers in logbook statistics dialog. Rearranged logbook
statistics and put more important tables on top.
* Changed ordinate order in GPX file export to fix Google Maps import issues.
### Procedures
* Corrected selection of SID and STAR with multiple runways in procedure search when right clicking
on leg.
* Added keyboard shortcut `Return` for `Show procedure`.
* Now denying to add procedures which are completely broken due to missing navaids.
This is needed to avoid crashes.
* Solved issue where warning dialog appeared twice after adding procedure.
* Fixed inaccessible keyboard shortcuts in procedure search.
### Map
* Fixed slowdown and freezes in map when showing only add-on airports forced with high detail levels.
* Adjusted MORA number display for dark maps like CartoDark for better visibility.
* Fixed several issues where elevation profile was not updated after merging performance or
changing the performance profile.
* Fixed display and flight plan issues with SID UNIT7K and others at LIMJ.
* Now always drawing approach ILS and airport diagram from flight plan even if these features are disabled in map.
Allows to hide all map features and show only the important flight plan related ones.
* Corrected rendering order if airport diagram is active when changing detail level. Airspaces are
now always disabled at the same zoom distance independent of detail level to keep them from disappearing
at higher zoom levels.
* Fixed issue where ghost tooltips could appear for airspaces when changing detail level.
* Limited localizer width to 20 degree to avoid excessive values from FSX and MSFS distorting ILS
display.
* Fixed issue with missing or wrong longest runway surface for airports read from MSFS.
### User Interface
* Corrected main window title which showed wrong AIRAC cycle for scenery libraries which do not
support one (FSX, P3D and MSFS).
* Now omitting thousands group separator in range ring radius list in options since it can cause problems with
regional settings using space as a separator. Sorting range ring radii after saving now. #590.
### Weather
* Fixed issue where VATSIM weather was only downloaded and updated once after start.
* Now correcting VATSIM weather URL from http to https on startup to avoid outdated METARs from the
wrong address.
===============================================================================
# Version 2.6.4.beta
## Important
* _Little Navmap_ might ask again to create the recommended folder structure for files.
This can happen once after updating translations since the folder names depend on the selected language.
Let the program create the paths if you like to use them and move your files accordingly.
* Update to the latest beta Navigraph navdata update for MSFS if you use it.
* Reload the scenery library.
* The manual was not updated yet. Neither the English nor the translated
version. Help buttons and links are functional but point to placeholder pages.
## Known Issues
### MSFS
* _Little Navmap_ cannot read SID and STAR from MSFS. Documentation about MSFS format changes are
needed in SDK.
* MSFS multiplayer and real-time AI cannot be displayed yet. These do not appear in the SimConnect
interface.
* Simulator weather cannot be shown for MSFS since SimConnect weather functions are deprecated and
do not deliver data. Needs update or documentation in MSFS SDK. Use NOAA weather which gives you
the most up-to-date weather reports.
* MSFS seems to have clear concept of scenery order (`Content.xml` seems unreliable)
and there is no information in the SDK about this. Add-ons are loaded by alphabetical order by
_Little Navmap_. To put an add-on to the end of the loading list add a `z_` to the folder name,
for example.
* Flight plan loading in MSFS is flawed and does not produce any error messages if it fails. Quite
often MSFS cannot load its own plans correctly.
* Country names are missing in MSFS translation tables and are not available in _Little Navmap_,
therefore.
* Add-ons using the `.fsarchive` encrypted format are not supported. _Little Navmap_ will show only
the stock airport instead of the add-on if a package is locked down like this.
* Some aircraft mods do not report correct fuel flow to work around simulator limitations. This
cannot be fixed in _Little Navmap_.
* Some airports files like `LEMG.bgl` cannot be read due to unknown format. _Little Navmap_ reports
`Error: readInt for file "...OMITTED.../LEMG.bgl" failed. Reason 1`.
Exclude the airport file from reading in options on page `Scenery Library Database` or simply
ignore the message. The stock LEMG and all other airports are not affected by this.
### Other
* Dock window layout in _Little Navmap_ can change when resizing or maximizing window and back.
Qt limitation.
* Window is restored in normal state when changing from a maximized window to fullscreen and back.
This is a Qt limitation.
* The flight plan calculation might pop up shortly or the main window might flicker when starting the
program. This can be ignored.
* The height of the elevation profile window cannot be reduced in some cases. Reset to default window
layout which fixes this. Rearrange or move the elevation profile window to another position which
usually solves this. Save the layout once you have a working one. This is a limitation in the used Qt library.
* Zooming with touchpad or magic mouse does not work properly on macOS. Use the navigation overlay
or one of the other options on page `Map Navigation` in `Options` if you think it is unusable. This
is a limitation in the used Qt library.
