Charts - Navigraph
EHM-1670 Bill:
There's a comparison review of Simplates, Jeppesen & Navigraph at http://tinyurl.com/76ns7
Phil - can you give an update please now you have had Navigraph for a few days. Particularly I am interested in the statement Furthermore, the nDAC software enables you to compile all required charts according to your flightplan, you can load it in FPL file format (Flight Simulator flightplan) and he will gather all charts you'll need ![/i]
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Well the review is pretty spot on. So far I am finding the Metropolitan pack usefull, but ofcourse I am only selecting flights that I have charts for, for instance, the only airport covered in Portugal is LPPT so no charts for Madiera! (Ah well) I may well expand and get the three European and America packs at a later date when I can afford them, but the Metro pack will do for now.
The software is quite basic, but it doesn't need to be any more complicated and yes you can go to the routes section and import a FS2004 Flight plan. Basically all this does is get rid of all the charts for other airports so you dont have to search for the charts you need, they are in the side panel and you just select the charts you require from the list available for that airport, not a feature that I use as I fly PMDG and PSS aircraft mainly so rarely file a FS2004 Flight Plan.
Before Start up, I open the nDAC software and make my route by selecting Departure, Arrival and if available Alt airports, then this program runs on one of my laptops so I don't have to minimize FS to read the charts.
It's very usefull and much easier than searching through hundreds of AIS websites and having to register with them all. I would certainly recommend it to anyone that has about 50 euros to spend, although of course it depends on what takes priority to you. For me, it was either buy this or get the PMDG QOS, as I have 6 other payware airliners and the Ifly 747-400 is pretty good, I decided to go for the chart software.

Thanks for that - just what I wanted to hear. Looks like it is a getter for me.

Those GB charts are the same one u can get for free at
GB Charts
All charts and other aeronautical publications can be found on the UK AIS website:

Next, move the mouse over the word "UK AIP". In the drop down menu, go down to "UK AIP" but DONT click it. Hover the mouse over the word and you should see a menu appear at the side. Move the mouse down to the word "Aerodrome Data". Once again, DONT click the word. You should see another menu appear at the side. In this menu, move the mouse to the word "Aerodromes - Specific". This time, click the word:
On the following page should be a list of all the major aerodromes in the United Kingdom. You can then click on the airfield of your choice, which will load up a new page with a list of all the available charts:
Enjoy!

I am already registered there but do not need UK Charts as I have Pooleys Flight Guide. I want the overseas charts and as Phil has said having them to hand beats ploughing through websites.
Thanks for the information though - it is greatly appreciated that people on this site are always willing to exchange information.
