April 17, 20206 yr https://www.fsaerodata.com/news Unfortunately it seems fsAerodata will not support P3Dv5. They state that P3Dv5 is up to date compared to the previous versions, however they admit that there are areas that are not 100% up to date. Also, by not supporting P3Dv5 the database will gradually become more out of date compared to the real world. Weird decision in my opinion. It seems to me the second part of their announcement about a new format that P3Dv5 is using for the files that fsAerodata was using, seems the major reason of their decision. I guess it was too much work to change their filesystem. I hope they change their mind in the future.

April 17, 20206 yr Yes, I saw this today also. Too bad as keeping the navaids and sid start up to date was a big part of my interest in Prepar3D. Let see how things will evolve but p3d V4 will stay on my system for a while in parallel with V5. PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...
April 17, 20206 yr I remember learning about FSAerodata directly from Lockheed Martin...a developer spotlight of sorts long ago. Because of this, I wonder why it was too much work for LM to reach out to Jose long ago about this, and collaborate to an equitable solution that benefits all. Jose has been nothing but wonderful for this entire community. NAV/COM/Airspace data is always changing; Jose has done a great job keeping us up to date for more than a fair price.
April 17, 20206 yr Don't give up yet. The BGL file changes from V4 to V5 are not that elaborate. Keep in mind that much of the navigation database in V5 is "reasonably current", but unfortunately not up to current AIRAC. Thus the immediacy for fsaerodata to be compatible with P3d5 is not that crucial. There's also the possibility that the Herve' Sors freeware navigation package could be updated for P3d5.
