Guys. Forgive me for not understanding since I didn’t use aero data. So what did this provide that navigraph didn’t?

Updated the native sim nav info so that it matches what your navigraph provides. Otherwise you can get conflicts with scenery/addons

Thanks. I’ve just never noticed any issues. I use tons of payware. But I don’t use any of the sims native flight planning functions if that has something to do with it

I use Voxatc which needs a sim flight plan added.  As a bit of an autistic personality I like being able to make sure the flight plan in sim is EXACTLY the same in sim, and in the aircraft so that the navdata in sim is the same as the navdata used by Vox and the 3rd party aircraft Im flying.

Unless I am misunderstanding, I use Radar Contact which picks up all its data through makerwys. If I load a flight plan through FSBuild/Simbrief, then I get all the frequencies the same in Radar Contact and PMDG. So don't need any other data. If one were to use actual charts, then I understand you would  probably be all at sea (excuse the pun, couldn't resist).

If one flies to and from only up to date 3rd party airports, then fsaerodata is not needed. 

True, but that's assuming that you're 3rd party airport navaids are kept up to date to the most recent AIRAC. Vendors like Flightbeam are pretty good about providing Navaid and runway updates to their airports, but other developers stick to eye candy and don't care if approaches having changed, etc.

Only deals with a subset of data that FsAerodata updated.  Great for that limited set of info, but isn't a whole replacement.

Sad...
