You've already asked the same question 2 days ago

Try not to double post, it clogs the forum up.

The chart is outdated (6feb09) only the entry point of the STAR ASALT is on the FSX-SE map. You cannot build your approach based on the chart in the jpg

The FSX map itself is from 2006, as far as I recall, it's not been updated since the game's release, which is why many new waypoints, SIDs/STARs aren't present when you want to fly them.

That is not correct. You can add any approach from the past present or future.

The NAVAID's and Jeppesen chart cutoff date was April 2004. Any updates to the database is done by the user that needs the new navaids.

If you want to fly SID and STAR's that have missing navaids then add them.

Ok thank you for all replies, but no one help to build the approach. I understand the chart is not updated so? what is the problem? This is a game. Anyone know how to build and want to share ? Thanks a lot....

I suggest you get Airport Design Editor at the following link http://www.scruffyduck.org/

One of the tools included in ADE is the Approach Mode Editor that takes any approach chart and adds it to the FSX approach records. I took your Jepp chart and added all the missing Terminal_Waypoints and the RNAV 13L to KJFK.

After adding the Jepp chart using ADE it looks like this

In FSX if I now select the RNAV 13L in the GPS it looks like this

In this picture I load the RNAV which shows all the terminal_Waypoints that I added and the order they will be flown as TF legs which makes up the approach course.

Once the approach is loaded into the GPS we now Activate it so we can slave the GPS to the autopilot (as an option).

In this picture I am flying over ZADUD so I start my descent from 3000 ft.

Getting closer for the turn to final

Turning final and still have the GPS slaved to the autopilot

Airport Design Editor has its own forum at this link where many developers that understand how FSX works will help

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forums/airport-design-editor.95/

and the following links are several tutorials on adding Navaids, Approaches, SIDs, STARs, etc. to the default FSX database and default Flight Planner.

Hello!
I'm trying to build an ILS approach with ADE, but it seems the only existing tutorials are on fsdeveloper site, now unfortunately down...
If you're still there, or someone else who can help, you say ADE can take any approach chart to add waypoints and other things. How can I do this, I can't find any option in ADE.
Would you please write a little tutorial?
I can read charts, I only need some help with building approaches.

Thank you!
