Known Issues MSFS
Active pause in MSFS breaks the connection and does not allow to reconnect even when restarting Little Navmap.
This is a MSFS issue. Use the key Esc
for normal pause or click the toolbar button for pause to avoid problems.
Note that you can also start active pause the usual way (keyboard or joystick) but end it with the MSFS toolbar button.
This keeps the connection intact.
The active pause problem was fixed with the MSFS SU12 Beta version.
Loading a flight plan containing user defined points (coordinates) results in some positions of the plan
placed at the North Pole. Note this was fixed with the MSFS SU12 Beta.
See also MSFS Common Problems in the FAQ.
Changes from 2.8.8 to 2.8.9
Map Display
- AI aircraft with unreliable on-ground status injected by third party traffic tools are now
corrected if there is vertical speed or ground speed. This helps to avoid flying aircraft
hidden wrongly on the map. - Changed speed display for AI and user aircraft. Now showing ground speed on ground in map display
labels and progress tab for AI if user and AI aircraft are moving. Disabled wrong IAS and TAS display
labels for user aircraft on ground. - Fixed en-route holdings drawn with the wrong turn direction.
- Added turn direction for en-route holding tooltips and information window.
- Fixed issue where map highlights remained after putting a dock widget like search to the bottom
of dock stack. - Added margins to map display text labels to improve readability.
- Airport diagrams now shown earlier on map when zooming in.
- Updated map themes on Little Navmap Downloads - Map Themes.
- Removed unneeded Marble map theme legend files.
- Increased maximum number of entries in map position history.
- More adjustments and fixes for better drawing.
Flight Plan and Export
- Corrected loading of flight plan routing network which was incomplete due to new MSFS RNAV waypoint type.
This resulted in calculated flight plans using too many direct-to instead of airways when using
Do not use Navigraph Database
in the scenery library menu. #1001 - Better error checking for flight plan export file pattern in multi export options. Added
validation and error messages for export file patterns and file extensions. A file pattern with
errors is now always highlighted red also if not selected for export. - Now resetting empty file patterns in multiexport to default values on loading. This fixes issues where
the configuration was not migrated correctly from earlier versions and exported files used a flight
plan name without file extension. - Now falling back to correct default file pattern on flight plan export if the pattern in the
multi export options dialog is empty. - Fixed crash when loading X-Plane FMS files with negative airport elevation. Made flight plan
loading more robust in general. - Increased maximum length for user waypoint names to 80 characters in MSFS PLN flight plan file export
to allow descriptions. - Fixed inconsistencies for course display in flight plan leg in table, aircraft progress,
elevation profile and the map. - Removed not applicable inbound and outbound VOR course display in aircraft progress at procedure legs.
User Interface
- Fixed issue where the wrong runways were fetched for ILS in information and tooltips. As a
result ILS were declaredOffset to Runway
showing the wrong runway heading. - Corrected airport ident to use displayed value from map and flight plan table in context menus
to avoid confusing mismatches of airport idents between map and context menu. Now additionally
showing display ident and internal ident in airport search context menu. - Added menu item
Tools
->Files and Directories
->Show Map Installation Directory
to ease installation of new map themes. - Changed reading of MSFS scenery library. Now also reading manifest content type
AIRCRAFT
since
aircraft add-ons may contain airports as well. - Fix for stacked dock windows appearing in the wrong order after un-minimizing main window. #1000
- Updated user manual for customization, map theme installation, SimBrief changes and cold weather
altitude correction. - Fixed elevation profile losing display reverting to a gray area when resetting view after vertical zoom.
- Fixed issues with dock windows moved to the wrong screen on multi screen configurations.
- Added AirNav.com to airport link list.
- Fixed regression where red warning text for empty database was missing in status bar.
- Several other small text fixes.
Weather
- Fixed several issues with warnings about X-Plane weather files. Now warning
if simulator is not installed or weather files are missing. Dialogs can be disabled. - Adapted to read new winds aloft file names from X-Plane which were introduced with version 12.04b2.
- Made reading of GRIB wind files more error tolerant. Checking for wrong or empty files now.
X-Plane and Little Xpconnect Version 1.0.35 and 1.0.36
- Fixed ground speed used wrongly as true airspeed for X-Plane AI and multiplayer aircraft.
Ground speed is now correctly shown. - Added fix from Max Hille (https://github.com/maxhille) to avoid X-Plane 12 issues
with light colors and ignored exclusion regions on Linux after installing plugin. #983

Changes from 2.8.7 to 2.8.8
Flight Plan and Export
- Added export option for X-Plane CIVA Navigation System. Files exported as FMS 3 split up into
partitions containing nine waypoints. Procedure waypoints are included. - Fixed issues with multi export file selection that appeared when using a file export pattern
without suffix. - Made loading of X-Plane FMS plans more tolerant for invalid files. Now throwing error messages in
case of invalid coordinates to avoid crash. - Adjustments for flight plan calculation for better results with less airway usage at the right of
the sliderPrefer
. - Updated NAT track download address to new
https://www.notams.faa.gov/common/nat.html
to avoid error
messages on download. Addresses can be changed inlittle_navmap.ini
in section[Track]
. - Fixed wrong flight plan read while importing from SimBrief and changing plan with download dialog open.
Flight Plan Route Description
- Corrected reading of a flight plan having SID and STAR with the same transition waypoint
resulting in incomplete plans from SimBrief import. Example: MUHA EPMAR3 MAXIM SNDBR2 KMIA KMCO. #975 - Fixed crash while typing when entering incomplete route description texts.
- Fixed several issues when reading and writing a route description using space separated transitions.
This avoids error messages when reading flight plans from SimBrief. - Flight plan cruise altitude is now adjusted to adhere to airway and procedure altitude
restrictions. This avoids creating new plans with initial restriction errors. - Tear off drop down menu in route description dialog can now be reopened again after closing dialog.
Map Display and Elevation Profile
- Fixed issue with disappearing aircraft trail and other map lines near anti-meridian. #976
- Now suppressing VASI display in elevation profile if approach has a large offset course compared
to the runway. The VASI slope cannot be used in these cases. - Omitting wrong X-Plane runway shoulders for water runways on map.
- Moved flight plan table colors to
little_navmap_mapstyle.ini
. Added new section[FlightPlan]
.
Online Flying
- Fixed crash because of missing icon for unknown aircraft types. #973
- Added white aircraft icon with question mark for invalid aircraft types like online boats.
- Now ignoring boat traffic in aircraft shadow resolution.
- Adjusted shadow aircraft detection online vs. simulator to better resolve duplicate aircraft when
flying online.
Scenery Library
- Fixed several issues with new X-Plane 12 runway surface types. Runways were previously dropped
for unknown surface types. This resulted in airports registered without runways and having a
helipad symbol assigned in some cases. - Now reading new X-Plane asphalt and concrete textures.
- Corrected behavior when clicking
Load Scenery Database
which could open the loading dialog
again and crash while still waiting for confirmation on database usage. - Fixed issue with mapped drives on Windows where add-on airports were not detected if having MSFS
installed on such a drive. #967
User Interface and Other
- Corrected window order when using
Keep in Foreground
to avoid blocked or hidden dialogs after
loading scenery library. - The
Keep in Foreground
status is now applied to all non-blocking dialog windows like 'Flight
Plan Calculation' and 'Flight Plan Route Description' to avoid windows being blocked and hidden
by main window. - Added userpoint type
Addon
to highlight airports with a yellow ring similar to detected add-on
airports. - Fixed issue where bearing and distance to user aircraft was not updated in tooltips for parking spots.
- Fixed regression where tooltips disappeared quickly when being connected to a simulator.
- Now correcting logbook time if off by one day at arrival due to wrong time and date jumps while
flying (caused by warp or similar tools). This previously resulted in negative travel times. - Corrected logbook and userpoint import functions where first row in CSV files caused an error message
if using quoted names. - Fix for wrong names in options dialog. #965
- Fixes to avoid crash with duplicate ids when adding userpoints or logbook entries after import. #985
- Solved issue with crash when doing undo or redo quickly using keyboard shortcut repeats.
- Wind calculation functions are now more tolerant for invalid coordinates to avoid crashes.
- Corrections to statusbar and time. Time now correctly suffixed with
UTC

Little Navmap User Manual - Legend
or from the menuHelp
.
Windows Builds
There are two builds of Little Navmap and Little Navconnect for Windows available now:
- Windows 64-bit: For MSFS and all X-Plane versions.
- Windows 32-bit: For FSX and Prepar3D.
See Little Navmap User Manual - Windows Builds for details.
User Interface
- Changed status bar to avoid growing and shrinking fields. Now keeping maximum size to avoid
jitter. - Added option to hide dock window title bars in menu
Window
->Show Dock Window Title Bars
.
Uncheck this to get more screen space inside the main window. - Added airport transition level for X-Plane and Navigraph data.
- Resetting flight plan table, airport search result table and navaid search result table view on
update now to avoid display of wrong columns or missing table columns. - Added introductory dialog for first time users explaining further steps.
- Swapped
Shift+F11
andF11
functions. Fullscreen is nowF11
since this is a common shortcut
for most applications. - All actions for
None
andAll
in toolbar button dropdown menus can now toggle between states
none, all and last selected state. ClickAll
a second time to revert to the previous selection.
#762 - Now checking for base folder structure (
Little Navmap Documents
) only on first startup to avoid
issues when changing language. Folder structure can be now be created manually fromTools
->
Create Directory Structure
. #782 - Added warning message when using scenery library with not matching simulator in connect dialog.
This shows up when connecting to MSFS with an active X-Plane scenery database, for example. - Separated tab bar reset into a new menu item
Reset Tabs to Default
in menuWindow
. Window
layout and and tabs can now be reset separately. - Added show map cache to menu
Tools
->Files
. - Changed symbol for nautical miles to correct official
NM
. - Fixed issues with macOS aliases. These can now be used in X-Plane
Custom Scenery
to link to
add-ons. - Default style on macOS after first start is now Fusion and also reset on update since the default
macOS style is too clunky. - Removed check for wrong macOS version on program startup to avoid false warnings.
- Raised macOS minimum requirement to 10.13 High Sierra.
- Updated French translations by Patrick.
- Updated Italian translations by Flavio.
Flight Plan
- Flight plan is now saved to a temporary file on exit. This avoids the question dialog when
exiting the program after building or modifying a plan. This means: You create a new flight plan
from scratch or modify a present one and Little Navmap will not ask to save the plan when exiting.
Instead the same plan is reloaded on next startup. Continue editing without saving and the changed
plan will be reloaded on next startup. You can still use theSave
andSave as
functions as
before. You can disable this behavior on options pageStartup and Updates
by disablingLoad last used flight plan
. The temporary plan is stored in the settings folder as file
little_navmap.lnmpln
besideslittle_navmap.ini
. Avoid overwriting Flight Plan with not matching departure and destination
now enabled per
default on new installations. You can disable this setting in the options dialog on pageFlight Plan
if needed.- Now allowing arbitrary points for departure and destination. This covers all navaids, user points
and coordinates which can be used as start or destination points. The elevation profile is now
calculated without error messages for these kind of flight plans. Note that you have to install the
GLOBE elevation data to get the correct elevations for these points. You have to use theAdd to flight plan
menu item, theAppend to flight plan
menu item, the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+Click
(add),Shift+Alt+Click
(append) or the drag and drop flight plan editing to add
arbitrary points as departure or destination. Note these flight plans are not supported by all
simulators or add-ons. - Magnetic course of flight plan legs is now always calculated using normal magnetic declination.
VOR calibrated declination is ignored. Other options to display VOR inbound and outbound magnetic
course are now available. See
Little Navmap User Manual - Magnetic Declination. - Added optional inbound and outbound VOR course to aircraft progress display considering VOR
calibrated declination. This is always shown when the next or last waypoint is a VOR, VORDME or
VORTAC. Enable this inTools
->Aircraft progress display options
-> branchNext Waypoint
->
Leg course from
andLeg course to
. - Removed
Ignore declination of VOR and other radio navaids
on options pageFlight Plan
since
there are other ways to display VOR inbound and outbound magnetic course now. - Removed merging (e.g. grouping of multiple deletions into one) of same changes for undo or redo
in flight plan operations. Now single changes can be undone. - Changed flight plan calculation to a normal non-blocking dialog window also to avoid the short
popping up on start. Note that these non-blocking dialog windows can be put behind the main window
and show up in the Windows or other task lists as well. - Highlight of active in flight plan table can be disabled in options on page
Flight Plan
. #785 - Removed forced assignment of runways if no parking...

Changes from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19
User Interface
- Fixed issue where main window could not be resized below 1000 pixels. Minimum limit is now 300 pixels.
- Changed style
Night
to improve visibility for checked icon menu items and menu separator
lines which were barely visible before.
Map Display
- Disabled GLS and other virtual paths which were wrongly shown as ILS when using latest Navigraph
databases updated for future versions of Little Navmap. - Fixed issue where new user airspaces were not drawn after reading from disk.
Flight Plan and Elevation Profile
- Fixed issue which appeared when airport altitude is reported higher from simulator than runway
altitude from navdata for procedures. Program showed wrongly a violated altitude restriction at
runway and refused to build elevation profile. - Fixed issue where alternate airport was lost and error message remained after switching scenery
library databases. - Corrected mapping of parking names for empty or invalid MSFS parking spots which broke reloading
of parking positions from flight plans. Exported MSFS PLN files now have correct parking name set
for these cases. - Fixed issue where flight plan leg in elevation profile had wrong position offset related to
restriction. - Fixed issue where elevation profile could not be calculated if a STAR has an
At Altitude
restriction. - Fixed missing waypoints in MSFS flight plan export for all distance, altitude or otherwise
terminated procedure legs. - Fixed issue where MSFS SID and STAR cannot be loaded due to missing runway in database.
- Extended waypoint coordinate parser for all ARINC 424 Code Convention full degree waypoint formats
like57N30
,5730E
or57S30
. Flight plan route description can now read these waypoints
independent if they are in the navdata or not. - Improvements to Flightgear XML flightplan files import and export. Thanks to @colingeniet at
Github for the fixes.
Scenery Library
- Database minor version updated to 21. Reloading is adivsed to see bug fixes.
- Added push request #16 of @flpduarte. Fixed bug in which Little Navmap would only read and
display a single transition from addon (Community) SIDs and STARs, despite these procedures
actually having more than one transition. This happens when using the latest MSFS SDK (SU9 or later). - Now saving invalid and null parking names from MSFS with indicator
NONE
into the database to
allow handling in flight plans. - Fixed issue where airport frequencies were written as 0 instead of null for MSFS resulting in
wrong search results. - Now skipping empty X-Plane
apt.dat
files to avoid program freezing in an empty loop for
malformed files.
Other
- Now decreasing connection rate for long running sessions using autoconnect to avoid loss of
internal SimConnect resources. An attempt to connect is made every 30 seconds after half an hour
and every minute after one hour. Workaround for SimConnect issue mentinoned in #891.
Development and Build
- Moved version number to variable
VERSION_NUMBER
in filelittlenavmap.pro
instead of coding it
into sources. - Now writing files
version.txt
andrevision.txt
files into install folder allowing
deployment scripts to automatically name archives. These files can be used to identify
a version without opening the program.

Changes from 2.6.17 to 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.
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
folderfs-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.

- 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 lnmpln.xsd and LNMPLN file format documentation in the user manual.

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 ofSBTR
. - Airport has no ICAO but FAA code which does not match the internal id. Example: Red Lion with FAA code
JY73
using internal ident ofN73
. - 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 identEZ3
.
- Airport ident is longer than four characters. Example: White Lake (
- 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 tabWeather
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
vsXPDR
) 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.
- Fixed JavaScript errors on desktop due to pointer move after generalizing 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.

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.
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 menuWindow
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
andlocal
to airport table and removed columnxpident
in database schema. Database minor version updated to 20.

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 ofTLA+20
.
User Interface
- Added
Toggle Flight Simulator Connection
function with keyboard shortcutCtrl+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
) andView
->Show Aircraft Trail
(Ctrl+Alt+T
). - Added keyboard shortcuts for map themes:
Ctrl+Alt+1
toCtrl+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
andMagnetic 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.
- 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.

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 likeH5711
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 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 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 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 and yudongx for their effort.
-
Small updates to user manual regarding MSFS limitations.
