A user once asked in the forums whether FG wouldsupport navaids not only from the nav.dat.gz file, but from files in custom sceneries. | A user once asked in the forums whether FG wouldsupport navaids not only from the nav.dat.gz file, but from files in custom sceneries. | ||
For example, in ULLI airport there is a problem with glideslope and NDB at the O0outer markers and there are missing NDBs at middle markers. A user made a correct version of nav.dat.gz, but it worked only on his computer. He could distribute his scenery with the fixed nav.dat.gz, but if another player had made his own modifications in his own nav.dat, they would conflict. It would be possibls to write instructions how to find bad data and replace it with good data, but not every player wants to do such things, especially, if he has played MSFS earlier. That the main problem.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=174016#p174016 | For example, in ULLI airport there is a problem with glideslope and NDB at the O0outer markers and there are missing NDBs at middle markers.
