"GPS Runtime Error" despite custom earth_424.dat file with correct runways:

Over a year ago the two main runways at KJXN were removed (06/24) and replaced with new runways 07/25 and all associated taxiways, lighting, signs, etc. I downloaded the current KJXN scenery from the gateway and updated the airport to reflect the new design. The airport resides in Custom Scenery.

Recently I've been trying to test new ILS and RNAV approaches for the new 07/25 runways in x-plane. I downloaded the latest CIFP database from FAA and renamed this file to earth_424.dat and put this in the Custom Data folder in my x-plane directory (Sim-wide ARINC424 override).

When I fly x-plane the new runway scenery looks fine. I can select my custom starting location using any of the new 07/25 runways or from the air. When I fly over and/or land the 07/25 runways appear to be correct.

But, when I use the GPS and try to load procedures for the new 07/25 runways they appear to be there (e.g. ILS25), but when I select them I get "GPS Runtime Error: Invalid runway selected" message. If I select the old/existing 14/32 runway procedures these are still OK. Also, in the GPS I do still see the procedures for the removed runways 06/24 for some reason. Not sure where these are coming from.

Thanks,
Tracy Boyers

    Julian asked me to upload this. This is only the FAA CIFP file renamed to earth_424.dat.

    KJXN ILS25 and RNAV7 approaches work just fine with the 1902 FAA data.

    Note that changes to the default airport will only be seen by the GPS/FMS once the scenery has been shipped with an official X-Plane update - they don't see custom scenery.
