Navdatareader does not work

[irvintib 0]

It appears that Navdatareader only looks for the Steam version of the game and not Msfs that was bought through the Microsoft store.

I may be doing something wrong though.

I open the command prompt and cd into the base directory of navdatareader.exe and execute the command "navdatareader –f MSFS –o navdata-Msfs.sqlite".

The error log (abarthel-navdatareader.log)  file reads as follows:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

UPDATE: I moved the NavDataReader folder from "Downloads" to my desktop, Opened cmd.exe, cd into the folder,  and ran the exact same command and it magically worked this time. All is good now.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll have to try that myself. It might be good to let the NavDataReader developer know the tools is a bit sensitive about where you run it from.
