X-Plane AIRAC

Does this actually update all current NAVAID freqs and waypoints? I am trying to see how this differs from Navigraph (aside from being free and for XP of course). I have noticed significant frequency discepancies between FS Commander NDB's and some VOR/ILS's and what the 9.6.7 build of XP displays which is a headache for flight planning.

It updates airport and nav aids to that cycle.

FSCommsnder will be using a mix of the navigraph and simuator airport data so may differ until they implement x-plane scenery parsing.

I personally don't bother as they include the latest one when they release each 'version' eg: 9.68 so the difference isn't huge

updating will give you more up to date data than you currently have.

Your choice.
