Faudra-t-il éditer le ficher "openflightmaps.dgml" à chaque mise à jour des AIRACS ?
Le zoom est assez limité.

I just took a look at the pe NotePad ++ Path dgml file: (".. \ Little Navmap \ data \ maps \ earth \ openflightmaps \ openflightmaps.dgml") and changed two "path = 2203" and changed them to "path = 2210" . Then I went to Settings from LittleNavMap and removed the cache from openflightmaps and .... Everything is fine. IT WORKS.

Have the same problem, when zooming in the map goes black - even though I updated the AIRAC cycles in the dgml-file. It almost seems the OFM data for the tiles are now changed or corrupted. It still worked fine with the last AIRAC cycles.

I've updated "path=" to 2209 and I see the maps but they are like in dark mode: https://ibb.co/G0DRbdr
Any ideas?
EDIT: changing to 2208 make no difference. Also I have no airspaces on.

OFM is still in 2208 - always try a test-tile like https://nwy-tiles-api.prod.newaydata.com/tiles/9/272/182.jpg?path=2209/base/latest vs https://nwy-tiles-api.prod.newaydata.com/tiles/9/272/182.jpg?path=2208/base/latest and verify, if you got an valid tile/jpg.

I just had a look at the dgml file with an editor p. e. NotePad++ Path: ("..\Little Navmap\data\maps\earth\openflightmaps\openflightmaps.dgml") and changed the two "path=2203" and changed those to "path=2205". Then went to the Settings from LittleNavMap and deleted the cache from openflightmaps and.... it still does not work: the background remains black ! Any chance it will be fixed with SU 10?

Just noticed, that OFM is already in version 2207 now (example URL from OFM-Website:
so changing the dgml to 2207 works for me now, give it a try!

I can no longer display the OpenFlightMaps as the background is all black. If I change the scale, the map quickly appears and disapera to let the black background... Was working before but now, stopped...' Any idea?

You can get it working again. It is caused due to the update of the AIRAC cycle. Take a look at the dgml file with an editor p. e. NotePad++ Path: ("..\Little Navmap\data\maps\earth\openflightmaps\openflightmaps.dgml") and in here, search for "path=22" and change those 2 values to "path=2205". Then go to the Settings from LittleNavMap and delete the cache from openflightmaps in its folder.

Does anyone have a problem where only certain tiles are missing the full information? For example, when I zoom in Zurich LSZH.

Since today the openflightmaps don't work for me anymore, only everything black, although I am in the covered area. I have reinstalled Littlenavmap (v. 2.6.17), downloaded the openflightmaps theme v. 1.0.13 again and inserted it, deleted the map cache... Without success! It seems as if the maps are not loaded....
Edit:
I got it working again. It is obviously due to the update of the AIRAC cycle. I had a look at the dgml file ("..\Little Navmap\data\maps\earth\openflightmaps\openflightmaps.dgml") and changed the values to "path=2203"... et voilà- it worked! 😊
