Update Fs2004 Gps
These updates are for FSX and P3D only (all versions including now P3Dv4) and include aeronautical data that are referenced by the latest aeronautical information (AIPs). The FSX/P3D World Navaids package will update navigational aids (VORs, NDBs) in selectable world areas (worldwide coverage).
A multi-platform installer is provided and all original files are saved and can be restored. A PDF documentation is included. Be aware of some limitations/problems that may occur for those still using FS integrated flight planning (obsolete) or map view. See chapter 5 of documentation for details.
Fsx Nav Database Update
We have been seeing reports from some players that they are experiencing unexpected issues using the GPS system in FSX. FSX: SE update. Flight Simulator X. FsAerodata is the first product for flight simulation that enables a global update of the built-in default aeronautical navigation database in FSX and Prepar3D to.
In Europe region, all data (VORs, NDBs, ILSs, runway identifiers, approach lighting systems, PAPIs, en route intersections and airways) are corrected. In other regions, only VORs and NDBs are updated; consequently, in those regions, a few NDBs (those that are embedded in airport BGL files) will remain untouched resulting in a very few discrepancies. ILS/Rwy regional updates will be needed to correct other data (ILSs, rwy identifiers, embedded NDBs). ILS/Rwy regional updates will correct ILSs, runway identifiers, markers and all embedded NDBs in other regions than Europe. In the US, lightings and PAPIs are also corrected. An automatic installer is provided.
Note that each region can be installed separately; a worldwide update is also available (except for Europe that is already covered by the World Navaids package). See the included readme.txt files for more details and the. Note that installer will backup original files that can be restored at any time. Some answers to FAQ regarding navaid updates.
Mon May 23, 2016 4:15 pm A fellow VATSIM pilot, Herve' Sors, has created and maintains web pages and databases containing updated Navaids and Fixes for FS9, FSX and P3D. Each link (one for Navaids, one for Fixes) includes an installer that makes life easy!
These files will enable pilots who utilize their default MSFS or P3D GPS the ability to recognize the current Navaids and Fixes in their GPS. Pilots can then fly waypoint to waypoint via their default GPS, enabling them to fly RNAV Procedures. The files may be found here: Fixes (FS9/FSX/P3D): Navaids (FSX/P3D): Navaids (FS9): They are donationware, as described on Herve's home page With these updates, it is possible to fly the RNAV DPs (and STARs as well) by using the GPS. Once you have an updated GPS database, you may be able to eliminate a lot of the fast and furious waypoint plugging by exporting your route from vRoute to FSX format, and then loading (Flight Plan Load) to FSX. Go to for vroute.
The free vroute standard version is all that you need to gain this functionality for most major airports; there is a premium version available for very short money if you prefer access to all airports as well as the features that are included in the premium version. That's how I do it when using aircraft that utilize the default GPS (updated fixes and navaids plus vroute premium). Remember, this gives you all you need for lateral guidance only; you must plan and execute your vertical climb and descent profiles. There are likely many other methods to do it. There is a freeware FMC out there called vasFMC that some folks use.
There are probably others out there too. The freeware FMCs out there may rely on default (or updated) nav data from your default GPS, or may rely on payware Navigraph data (although I personally believe this data is actually pretty cheap, but cheap/expensive is different for everyone.). There may even be some payware FMCs too.
You could do a forum or Google (or equivalent) search to learn more about those options if you were interested. Fri May 27, 2016 4:28 pm Question: I am running FS9 (Flight sim 2004) and not FSX with the older Navdata that they originally give you.
Will these updates, update my Navdata for FS9 as well It seems I do not have latest Navdata for RNav approaches The controller at Boston wanted me to fly the ROBUC1 arrival RNAV and I was trying to find the RNAV DPs for the Robuc1 arrival to Boston from JFK New York and couldn't find any wav points on my GPS. Will this help with the newer RNAVs as listed. Any Help appreciated C.

Once you have an updated GPS database, you may be able to eliminate a lot of the fast and furious waypoint plugging by exporting your route from vRoute to FSX format, and then loading (Flight Plan Load) to FSX. Go to for vroute. Just to be clear, you don't need to touch the FS scenery to do either of these. All that this update will do is give you the option to navigate direct to a new waypoint via the FS GPS, or to use the default flight planner. Fri May 27, 2016 6:35 pm I honestly couldn't remember if FS9 was supported or not - I made the switch to FSX almost 10 years ago - so I just clicked on the links above to check. The navaids link for FS9 is The Fixes/Intersections update is FS9/FSX/P3D. I updated my post, above, to clarify.
Fsx Gps System
Suggest you try these and then try the ROBUC again. I think you'll be all set. Remember that if you set up the route with vRoute, export to your sim and load your flight plan from within FS9, it will sequence all of the waypoints for you. And if you do it tonight, coming from JFK you're most likely to land 27, next-most likely to land 22L.

Hope this helps.
