I'm using X-plane and fly the Zibo Mod so up to date data is important, I updated to the latest cycle 2012 and then as usual rebuilt the database, everything seemed to go well until I was checking the localiser for the ILS at VCRI (in Sri Lanka) its an add-on airport so I needed to update for that anyway, but when checking the direction of the localiser it was showing 81949 degrees, now that is too many degrees to be real so I contacted Navigraph to tell the of the problem with their data, this is where the problem starts getting serious, evidently the data format has changed! this is from their answer to me on their forum;

Hi,
according the XP NAV1150 Specifications the values are correct so far. It's the localizer bearing in true degrees prefixed by integer magnetic front course times 360. Possible that the third party addon PlanG what you are using, canĀ“t handle the new format. Please contact the PlanG developer, that they can fix it in their application.


So I'm doing what they have asked.

I'm using Windows 10 and PlanG 3.2.2.167

Attached is a screenshot from PlanG showing what I'm seeing highlighted in the mauve frame

And v4 works with X-Plane11 ? or is it just MSFS2020 & PDGv5  :)

v4 works with X-Plane 9/10/11/11.5 (and P3D 1/2/3/4/5, and FS9/FSX/MSFS) :)
