When testing out the new SimConnect nav data API, I am unable to retrieve
final or missed approach legs… approach transitions with APPROACH_LEGs work
just fine. All calls relating to the FINAL_APPROACH_LEG, APPROACH, and AIRPORT
generate an exception after OPEN FINAL_APPROACH_LEG or
OPEN_MISSED_APPROACH_LEG. Basically what I am doing is opening AIRPORT, adding
a few fields, opening APPROACH, adding a few fields, opening
FINAL_APPROACH_LEG, adding a few fields, closing FINAL_APPROACH_LEG, closing
APPROACH, closing AIRPORT. The rest of the data works fine, and the
SIMCONNECT_FACILITY_DATA_APPROACH_LEG events are received by my client, but
with bogus/no data. Is this the correct approach? The simconnect log, from
which you can see all the calls and results, is presented here:
