Navigation in FS2004 involves both the simulator's ageing world database and databases supplied with add-on aircraft. This hub explains how to operate the default GPS, enter direct-to destinations, load flight plans, read the map and nearest-airport pages, tune relevant frequencies, and couple route guidance to the autopilot. It also covers finding airports by ICAO code, name or location when the selection screen is unhelpful.
Database updates can create less obvious faults: waypoints may disappear, procedures may not match scenery, or the Level-D 767 may ignore new SIDs and STARs. Answers written and tested by the Fly Away team trace AIRAC folder paths, file formats, duplicate data and cycle mismatches, with backup and rollback advice before changes are made.
