Does Xplane 12 Fix waypoints?

[Garavar]

I am instrument rated and before I fly in real life to a new airport or airport I haven't been in a while I will fire up Xplane 11 with foreflight and plan the actual route. But half the time XP11 will be missing a waypoint or an airway which is annoying as hell. Additionally, departure or arrival procedures will also be missing often.

Thinking about upgrading to XP12. Have they fixed this be adding all the missing waypoints? If not have they added a way to manually build the waypoint? Thanks in advance.

Soon XP 12 will be shipped with AIRAC data from June 2nd, 2023. You would need to get yourself a Navigraph subscription (very much worth it) for the most up-to-date data. If you just want the data it's around $40 per year. You can also get data from the FAA for free (US only) however it doesn't include everything.

Thank you very much. Since this works on XP11 I might not even buy XP12 now lol.

I downloaded the FAACIP18 and put it in the Custom Data folder. But when I start XP 11 it says "loading navigation data failed; Cycle Mismatch between earth_fix.dat (1802) and FAACIP18(2412). These files must come from the same data cycle in order to be merged" and the game crashes

On the guide I see that it says mix matching different cycles is not supported but then now do I update earth_fix.dat it doesn't say.
