Changes from Release 2.2.3 to 2.2.4

Flight Plan Export

• Added saving and loading of FlightGear XML flight plans (.fgfp) also covering SID and STAR. #361
• MDX flight plan export for Leonardo Maddog X added. #232
• Added RTE flight plan export for QualityWings aircraft. #335

• Now automatically suggesting a numbered filename if file already exists when exporting or using Save as. Same for aircraft performance files.
• Reorganized export flight plan menu items into categories (Aircraft, Online, etc.) for better overview.
• Changed default export folder for aircraft flight plan formats to use simulator base folder instead of Documents.

Online Networks

• Enabled IVAO online network support based on mirror on www.littlenavmap.org. #244
• Now displaying flight simulator type in information window for online network clients.

Help

• Changed default email, manual and help link URLs from Gitbook to www.littlenavmap.org. #238\
  Manuals in all formats and languages can be found here: Little Navmap and Little Navconnect Manuals.
• Moved help URLs into configuration file urls.cfg which can be overloaded in settings directory. #238

Map

• Fixed issue where MORA data was displayed only with Navigraph data enabled. Now always shown independent of selection. #331
• Changed taxiway color for better visibility with light backgrounds.
• Added taxiway colors and pens to little_navmap_mapstyle.ini to allow configuration.

• Changed AI/multiplayer aircraft on ground to appear earlier when zooming in.
• Now disabling text in MORA display if it gets too small to avoid garbled up display.
• Now hiding the scalebar when saving map images. Scale bar is now only included when printing.
• Fixed several display issues with procedure legs.

Flight Plan and Performance

• Fixed issue where selecting a parking position as departure resulted in zero cruising altitude in flight plan (FSX/P3D .pln).
• Now disabling aircraft performance collection when sim is paused or replaying (replay only detected on X-Plane).
• Relaxed maximum distance requirements for waypoints in route string parser.\
  Airports are now always used independent of distance to previous waypoint. This allows to build plans like EDDF KORD EDDM.\
  #376
• Fixed display and conversion issues in aircraft performance when using metric units.
• Vertical descent speed, descent speed and descent rule of thumb now displayed correctly.
• Fixed route description parser to ignore runway designations attached to airport like USSS/08R ... ZMUB1200/33.

• Added shortcuts to switch between styles Fusion (Shift+F2) and Night (Shift+F3).
• Added links to airport folder Documents/Little Navmap Files/ICAO for airport information. Links to all files in the related folder are shown if the path exists for an airport with the given ICAO ident. The path is locale sensitive, e.g. in German Dokumente/Little Navmap Dateien/ICAO. This depends on completeness of the translation. Try both variants (Files vs. your system language) if in doubt. Clicking on a link opens the file in the default editor or viewer of the system.
• Fixed wrong test in options dialog for online status.txt file. Now looking for the correct values to verify the file or download.
• Default folder is now the simulator base path when selecting exclusions in the options dialog on tab Scenery Library Database.
• Fixed issue where date display used 12 hour time without AM/PM indicator. Now always using 24 hour time for UTC time display.
• Moved all context menus a few pixels off the cursor to avoid accidental selection of first entry on touchpads or some mice.
• Changed lengthy prefix for custom map themes to * in the drop down box on the toolbar.

  format is not usable by X-Plane 11.05.
  FMS 11 is now the default format when saving FMS although it needs at least a 11.10 beta version.
  FMS 3 can still be saved using the export option. See in the manual:
  FMS 11
  and
  FMS 3.

• Fixed problem in ATS route string parser where an airway as an invalid first entry did not generate a warning message.
• Fixed error in route string parser which did not recognize STARs correctly.
• Fixed error where first enroute waypoint contained an airway reference after calculating with SID in some cases.
  This caused problems when exporting some flight plan formats and in the route string parser.
• Fixed several display issues with large airspaces and airways crossing the anti meridian. These showed up
  mirrored with their tooltips in other parts of the world. Small problems remain (e.g. Melbourne FIR).

• Fixed handling of missing or inaccessible legend file. Now silently ignores error and redirects to
  web page if unavailable.
• Fixed error in scenery library menu where a menu item could be deselected resulting in no selection at all.

See the included CHANGELOG.txt or here online for a complete list across all versions.

Version 1.6.6

This update includes several bugfixes, small GUI improvements, a revised manual and support for the OpenAir airspace format for X-Plane.

Changes from Release 1.6.4 to 1.6.6

Version 1.6.5 was an internal beta release.

Improvements

• Added OpenAir airspace format compilation for X-PLane. Also reading airspace files from
  from YOUR_DOCUMENTS_DIR/Little Navmap/X-Plane Airspaces. You have to create the Little Navmap/X-Plane Airspaces directory manually.
• Added new airspace types Wave Window and Glider Prohibited.
• Removed restrictions on user defined waypoint names. Names are now adjusted according to flight plan format when saving.
• Enabled user defined waypoint names for X-Plane FMS format.
• Changed rating checkbox to drop down list in airport search.
• X-Plane 3D airport state is now considered when calculating rating.
• Added display of simulator type to connection status in statusbar.
• Airspace buttons are now disabled if no airspaces are loaded.
• Now clipping long airport and user waypoint names on map.
• Removed no SimConnect header label in connect dialog.
• Added display of AIRAC cycle to database dialog (X-Plane only).
• Added scenery file display for airspaces in information window.
• Added download button to update notification dialog.
• Better error handling and reporting of too old files with version < 850 when loading X-Plane scenery. Now checking X-Plane CIFP filenames before loading.
• Now showing dialog on certain crash types to avoid silent crash to desktop.
• Made loading of add-on.xml more robust for files with wrong encoding.
• Added coordinates to CSV export to clipboard from flight plan and search result tables.

Bug Fixes

• Offline map themes Atlas and Simple: Fixed missing lakes in map.
• Fixed problem loading FS9 flight plans.
• Attempt to fix zoom distance creep while using moving map.
• Fixed error in airspace copy process from older database schemes where bounding rectangle was messed up. This resulted in an Too many objects message in the statusbar.
• Solved problem with gaps between SIDs, STARs and the respective transitions resulting in wrong
  display and distance calculation.
• Fixed problem where STAR was not reloaded after database switch.
• Fixed issue where airspace display was not updated when changing cruise altitude with empty flight plan.
• Fixed user waypoint format for FLP so that it can be reloaded.
• Fixed confusing 0 errors dialog appearing after loading X-Plane database successfully.
• Fixed Connect on startup checkbox state not saved in some cases.
• Fixed status bar connection indication remaining in disconnected state sometimes.
• Fixed potential crash on failing network connection.
• Calculate based on given altitude is working again. Previously failed with Cannot find a route.
• Now correctly considering minimum and maximum altitude ranges when calculating to avoid
  non-overlapping airway altitude ranges in one flight plan.
• Fixed error in flight plan saving logic where cancel did not stop saving.
