Problem with Littlenavmap after update it

[rommel]

Hello all;

I use as an operating system Ubuntu 20.04 64bit and as simulator FlightGear-2020.3.9-x86_64
Until yesterday, FlightGear connected with LittleNavmap (Littlenavmap-Linux-20.04-2.6.11) and I could see the position of my aircraft and use some of the data that LittleNavmap provides. For this in the simulator I am adding the addon FlightGear-Addon-Littlenavmap and using the LittleFgConnect application, I realizes the link between FlightGear and LittleNavmap.
Yesterday, I updated the LittleNavmap application to LittleNavmap-Linux-20.04-2.6.15 and I can not connect to the simulator anymore.

Steps:
1.-
Start FlightGear with support for the addon (FlightGear-Addon-Littlenavmap) using the following command line:

$ /home/rommel/juegos/FlightGear/FlightGear-2020.3.9-x86_64.AppImage --launcher --browser-app=/home/rommel/Público/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin --httpd=8080 --enable-random-objects --enable-random-vegetation --enable-random-buildings --enable-sound --fog-nicest --enable-distance-attenuation --enable-horizon-effect --enable-specular-highlight --enable-fullscreen --shading-smooth --callsign=CUB7301 --enable-real-weather-fetch --enable-clouds3d --disable-terrasync --fg-scenery=/home/rommel/juegos/FlightGear/flightgear-addons/Scenary/ --prop:/sim/sound/voices/enabled=true --enable-save-on-exit --addon="/home/rommel/juegos/FlightGear/flightgear-addons/flightgear-addon-littlenavmap/"



2.-
Start the littlefgconnect application and use the option to connect to the simulator



3.-
Start the littlenavmap application.
I get this error when it is starting:



Here you see that the application is not connected to the simulator:



Although you can see the aircraft connected to VATSIM, it does not connect to the simulator.

Any idea what I was missing?

you need to update your atools git clone and recompile littlefgconnect. see the instructions in this post. atools and littlefgconnect also come with instructions how to compile them.

Thanks for write me back.
I will probe and test; update atools from git and recompile littlefgconnect.

This is the todo procedure everytime LittleNavmap update?

Hi all,

I'm somewhat responsible for this addon. I'll look at it when I come back from the holidays (unfortunately they just started).

AFAIR there were some changes with the littlenavmap interface to xplane via shared memory. If only recompilation with the newest atools helps that's OK. If anything please report your findings also on the associated bugtrackers on https://github.com/slawekmikula/littlefgconnect or https://github.com/slawekmikula/flightg ... ttlenavmap.

Searching in git for atools and this have not new release, so is the same that I have using in my PC. I think is not necesary to clone it; or I must to?

if you decide to upate your atools git repo you will notice the latest commit was just 1 week ago.
The 'Data Version' is 11 whereas it's 10 on your screenshot. so yes, you need to update atools.

@ slawekmikula: i haven't checked all properties (fuel, fuel flow etc) but the a/c position updates just like before.

Hello;

In https://github.com/albar965/atools now I see the release, July 26/2021

I will download and compile and test.
Thanks and sorry for the confution.

Thanks. So this is it and with recompilation it should work. Thanks for helping others !

Anyway for all of You. If you would like to have FG support inside the LNM package please give Alexander sign of interest in the ticket: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues/138 My main goal was to include this package with LNM not outside it. Right now there is mostly work for new MSFS so any rumblings from FG community could help to get his attention

Hello all;
I have my FlightGear conectted to Littlenavmap and till now look fine; but there is some "Database is empty" message that I do not know how to fix it or maybe do not know what it means.
Any idea to follow or someone explaint me what still needed in the configuration to work properly.

You're missing the navaid database... lnm comes with one, you just have to enable it.
To do so go at the top to "Scenery Library" -> "Navigraph AIRAC Cycle" -> "Use Navigraph for all features"

Thanks for write me back.
Now it show what I guess is the corrrect messages (ICAO,FIR,UIR,OTR)
