Sky4sim and Navigraph

Featured Replies

Sky4sim is a one-time purchase whereas Navigraph is subscription based.

What would I miss if I opted for Sky4sim instead of Navigraph?

I mostly fly to less than a dozen airports under different scenarios. One aim is to use all the aircraft as I can of which I've purchased many but rarely used in prior versions of the sim.  I do not participate in virtual airlines. Thank you.

As far as I can tell, everything. They are not really comparable products. 

Yes, completely different products, how are you comparing these? Sky4sim is more like the in-game EFB.. and looks worse, actually. Not sure why you would buy that over just using the default EFB.

I use a combination of Sky4SimNG and LittleNavMap in VR both tethered to a Navigraph subscription.
Sky4Sim has a much better quality moving map with a ton of more layer/info options and ease of accessibility to airport code lookup with full info, teleport and several other useful functions.

While LittleNavMap displays all of my air/ship ai traffic in real time. Best of all they run and work well together simultaneously with little to no performance hit.

I can't speak for Navigraph, but Sky4Sim is an excellent addition and I still find myself using it in 2024, it has more features & information than the default EFB which I do use as well.

To access one-page pdf files converted charts from Skyvector; and, one-page customized pdf specs-lists for aircraft.

Keeping the sim simple. No subscription app to pay attention to.

I’m sure it is a fine, subscription-free EFB that matches your requirements perfectly.

Navigraph delivers a completely different set of products.

Yes but navigraph doesn’t do any of this .. so the comparison doesn’t make sense. If you want these features, navigraph can’t provide any of them.

Will there be any value added with a Navigraph subscription if all I want to do is view charts converted to pdf files to at most a dozen payware airports? (I have payware GTN and FSIPanel. I'll be flying mostly payware GA aircraft and a PMDG airliner.).

Probably not, unless you want the most recent navdata. Which, by the sounds of it, you are happy without.

As well as being able to run it in a web browser on a client device or tablet...

No, waste of money if you just want charts for 10-20 airports and you don’t care about Navdata. It just isn’t the right product for you .. of course it’s your money, no harm in trying out a month or two. But it’s just fundamentally a different thing to what you are looking for.
