Casey Diers 981110 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 These files are available for download, with instructions, here: http://www.myfsim.com/sectorfilecreation/vSTARSDump.php BUT, before you download it, note that this file only covers the US (or any airspace that the FAA maintains in their databases) as that is the only data that I have access to. So if you are outside the US (or its territories), downloading these files will be a step backward rather than a step forward. These files are updated with every airac. As with anything in life, be sure to back up the original files. If you have a problem with these files, they may render your install useless without the original Airports and Waypoints .xml files. And due to the unknown implications of doing so, I don't feel comfortable posting the originals up on my site (because they aren't mine to share).

Josh Glottmann 13 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Sorry to revive this post. With the vSTARS dump, the waypoints file contains tags. This causes no airports to show up in alias commands. I have been replacing the tag with and respectively and it fixes the issue. Would you be able to change some back-end stuff to fix this? Thanks!

Chris Carstens 0 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 For anyone who might stumble across this post, the website above says to place the files in the %appdata%/vSTARS/NavData folder, but vSTARS seems to prefer (i.e. it only works if) they go in the main %appdata%/vSTARS folder.

Josh Glottmann 13 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 NavData can be updated automatically (with no need to download/move files yourself) using my software too! Josh Glottmann Deputy Air Traffic ManagerOakland ARTCC[email protected] Link to post Share on other sites

Board of Governors Matthew Bartels 108 Posted February 21, 2019 Board of Governors Share Posted February 21, 2019 As an Aside. Navigraph is installing the vSTARS navdata updates into the wrong folder on the beta. You have to go in and extract the data and put it back in the right place.
