If you have a PFPX nav database containing additional data to a PMDG nav database, this script makes it possible to merge these extra navdata into a new PMDG nav database.
In detail, additional waypoints, airports, navaids and airways are merged, whereas additional SID/STARs are not because SID/STARs in PFPX database are made up of bare waypoints, without altitude and speed constraints required for PMDG.
- In the directory containing our
.py
files, create three directories namedPFPX
,PMDG
andmerged
. Place your PFPX and PMDG navdata files insidePFPX
andPMDG
, which should contain the following files.
-PFPX
|navdata.nav
-PMDG
|airports.dat
|wpNavAID.txt
|wpNavAPT.txt
|wpNavFIX.txt
|wpNavRTE.txt
- Run
pfpx_navdata_decode.py
, which decodes the PFPX nav database intoPFPX/decoded.nav
. - Run
merge.py
, which merges navdata and puts them in directorymerged
. - That's Done.
