FlyByWire is seeking your feedback regarding custom navdata!

Recommended Posts

Even though Im a navigraph subscriber, i think this is a bad idea.

Can the developers push on msfs to get the right navadata in the sim they need, like they do with the SDK?

I'm more of a GA guy...but yeah I'd vote for that!

I do not mind as long as there are no discompatibilities or disadvantages of any kind with Microsoft Flight Simulator data system and or nav database now and in the future.

But by the way thank you for asking.

ICEMANFBW:

Would this change also help nudge the addition of proper VNAV functionality up? Really missing that. Thanks for all your work!

Some simmers may not need the on-going latest navigraph data and work on a snapshot purchased at a given point in time.  

I would welcome this as long as you can sync your flight planning tools and simulator at a given point in time and update as you see fit.

 

Thankyou

I didn’t realize the default navdata was missing so much information.  But then again I use navigraph, so count me in too!

I assume Aerosoft Navdata Pro will also be part of this, not only Navigraph?

It's OK if this is a temporary fix that improves an unsatisfactory situation with the current navdata solution, but it is regrettable that developers have to break one of the free assets of MSFS (navadata updates in this case). I fear the easy slide to FSX, P3D where one had to buy, navadata, weather, time fixer add-ons, etc, to make the sim complete. I sincerely hope that Asobo will rectify this ASAP if we want to avoid loosing the MSFS navdata.

Is this really necessary?  I thought the WT team had shown that most of the data is in the NavBlue dataset, it's just poorly used by the stock avionics which throw a lot of it away.  Is the A32NX code making the best use of all the available stock data?

A big reason for getting into MSFS was because it was supposed to be simpler with things built in.  Once we get into external nav data that simplicity goes away.
