Navdatareader is a command line tool that uses the atools fs/bgl and fs/db modules to store a full flight simulator scenery database into Sqlite, a relational database.

It can read flight simulator databases from FSX, Prepar3D, MSFS, X-Plane 11 and the DFD format.

Issues can be submitted at https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues .

A short manual is included as PDF in directory "help" or available online here: https://github.com/albar965/navdatareader/wiki

A configuration file includes various settings and filter options to exclude files, directories, facilities or airports. If the file is not given the simulator paths will be automatically extracted from the registry and the conversion process will start. The default configuration file with comments can be found here: navdatareader/resources/config/navdatareader.cfg

A confguration file to modify logging options can be found here: navdatareader/resources/config/logging.cfg

The database schema is documented in the atools project which contains the SQL files that create all the needed tables:

• atools/resources/sql/fs/db/create_ap_schema.sql: Airports, runways, COM, approaches, transitions and other airport related tables.

• atools/resources/sql/fs/db/create_nav_schema.sql: VOR, NDB, ILS, waypoints and airways.

• atools/resources/sql/fs/db/create_boundary_schema.sql: Airspace boundaries and related frequencies

• atools/resources/sql/fs/db/create_meta_schema.sql: Metadata for BGL files and scenery areas.

• atools/resources/sql/fs/db/create_route_schema.sql: Tables needed to route calculation. OBSOLETE - not used in LNM as of 2.6.
