Awesome work Ross! Two feathers in your cap for this one.

 

Doing the .find command, I found a fix in our airspace that is out of position. How can I fix that? The fix in question is one that is on a instrument approach procedure and is used by alias files to give location of the aircraft.

The fixes come from a pretty recent AIRAC, so I'm curious as to how some are missing or out of place. Please email me the details. vatsim (at) metacraft (dot) com.

Similarly I have found in ZOA.

Email sent.

 

If you do not have the capabilities to add them, could we get a method for adding it to our local database?

I think the AIRAC used was 1112 or earlier. 1113 was a very large update for at least us at ZTL, with new waypoints in our departure procedures. Most of our departures changed at both ATL and CLT. A few of those fixes are missing as well. Not a big deal as that is what the RVMs are for, but how Do these get updated? Is there a way for them to auto download each cycle?

The above pertains to United States

Guys,

 

If you want, I have a source that with a quick clean up and a few other items, could probably import 1201 without any issues for the US. (This should fix any issues with missing fixes for you?)

 

I have a World Source, but at the moment they're restructuring their data output so I can't get to them.

 

EDIT : Looks like my World source is back up and outputting again. Let me know if you want me to update the file for you.

 

One more edit : I would only release this if it doesn't step on Ross' toes as a temporary solution. I'm not sure what his permanent solution is regarding NavData

 

Cheers!

Rahul

Going forward, I will be using my FADDS subscription to update the files. I also plan to add an automatic updater. Any changes you guys want to make to the vSTARS navdata files in the meantime is certainly no problem.
