Navdatareader is a command line tool that allows to create a full SQLite navigation database for Little Navmap from various sources which are FSX (all versions), Prepar3D (all versions), X-Plane 11 and Navigraph.
The tool allows detailed configuration of included content as well as simple validation and reporting mechanisms.
Usage: navdatareader [options]
Displays a brief help for the command line options.
Displays version and revision information about the program.
Required option. Flight simulator type or other data source. Valid values are:
-
FSX: Microsoft Flight Simulator X. SP2 or Acceleration. -
FSXSE: Flight Simulator - Steam Edition. -
P3DV2: Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v2 -
P3DV3: Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v3 -
P3DV4: Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v4 and version 4.1. -
XP11: X-Plane 11. -
DFD: A SQLite database containing navigation data.
Optional FSX or Prepar3D Scenery.cfg file. The location of this files is automatically determined by registry entries if not given.
Required option for X-Plane data compilation.
Optional FSX or Prepar3D base path for BGL files. This path is automatically determined by registry entries if not given.
Required option for a DFD based compilation. Path and name of an extended DFD database.
Output Sqlite database filename. The default is navdata.sqlite in the current directory.
Extended configuration file for Navdatareader. Default is to use built-in navdatareader.cfg.
Read a FSX scenery database from the default places which are determined by the registry entries of FSX and write the Little Navmap database to navdata.sqlite in the current directory:
navdatareader.exe -f FSX
Read a Prepar3D version 4 database from non standard places. A Prepar3D installation is not needed in this case. The scenery database files are sufficient. The Little Navmap database is written to navdata.sqlite in the current directory:
navdatareader -f P3DV4 -b C:\Simulators\P3DV4 -s C:\ProgramData\P3DV4\Scenery.CFG
Read X-Plane scenery data from C:\My Programs\X-Plane 11 and write the Little Navmap database to D:\navdata-xp11.sqlite:
navdatareader -f XP11 -b "C:\My Programs\X-Plane 11" -o D:\navdata-xp11.sqlite
The program writes two log files into the current execution directory:
-
abarthel-navdata_reader.log: Contains all messages that are also printed on the command line. -
abarthel-navdata_reader-err.log: Contains warning, critical and fatal messages only.
Log file names are rolled on each execution of the program. A maximum of five log files is kept.
This configuration file (option -c) allows an in-depth configuration of the included features. Note that not all features/filters are available for all simulator/source types.
This file is normally only needed for debugging or development purposes.
The file is Ini-style and all options are commented.

[Filter]
# Not all filters are applied to the X-Plane compilation and none to the DFD compilation.
#
# If include filter is set only the listed features are loaded
# If exclude is set all listed features as excluded
# Exclude has priority before include
# All filters are case insensitive, comma separated and use globbing expressions
# ? Matches any single character
# * Matches zero or more of any characters
# [...] Sets of characters can be represented in square brackets
# Filter files by name excluding path - only X-Plane and FSX/P3D
# Examples: BNXWorld?.bgl or APX45*.bgl or FTX_NZSI_Unlisted_Airstrips.BGL

# Filter by object type. Some combinations of this can result in unexpected behavour - only X-Plane and FSX/P3D
# that is caused by the hierarchical dependency of objects. E.g. filtering out runways
# will also remove approaches and ILS.
# Possible values are:
# AIRPORT, RUNWAY, HELIPAD, START, APPROACH (and transitions), APPROACHLEG (and transition legs),
# COM, PARKING, ILS, VOR, NDB, WAYPOINT, AIRWAY, MARKER, APRON, APRON2, APRONLIGHT, FENCE, TAXIWAY, ROUTE,
