FSaeroData is closing

[Skywolf 992]

This service was pretty neat and I used it when Vertx DA62 addon was alive....it has the most potential but that is gone in my book for good

Though I did get errors with some Orbx Sceneries when using FSaerodata

Nonetheless, P3D loses here and I do hope someone acquires them and makes some good products for all of us.  I am sure part of it is due to people flocking to MSFS and I sincerely hope LM does some big "defense industrial magic" for P3Dv6 or with the next 5.xx series.

Isn't it a competitor to navigraph?

Not really, navigraph provide an AIRAC nav database external to the sims built in hard copy, so you end up with mismatched data. FSaerodata updates the native nav database 

Anyhow at least https://www.aero.sors.fr/navint.html is still alive

They would be the logical ones to take it over! Not much point in updating FMC's and

Simbrief with Navigraph if the Nav Aid data in the Sim is out of date.

The freeware navdata updates by sors.aero might be the alternative you're looking for.

Thanks for posting the link!! I remember now that I used to use this until FSAerodata came along

which was a bit less of a faff. Will definitely return to using it - thanks again.

It does not update com frequencies nor approaches, but does update navaids and magnetic variation which is already not bad.
