Download Navdata manually

If you are using a streamed airport database, the navdata gathering process will not be able to complete. You will be prompted to download the Navdata manually when starting Sky4Sim.

Download the navdata.sqlite file

Click on the navdata.sqlite link.

Once the MEGA website opens in your browser, click on the Download button.

Wait until the download is complete. Then, open your Downloads folder (where your downloaded files are usually saved).

You should see a new file called navdata.sqlite. Right-click on it and select Cut, or use the shortcut CTRL + X to cut it from this location.

Move the File to the Sky4Sim Folder

Click on the Sky4Sim Folder link.

This will open an Explorer window in the Sky4Sim program folder.

Right-click on any blank space in this window and select Paste, or use the shortcut CTRL + V to paste the file in this new location.

If prompted, click Replace the file in the destination folder.

Final Steps

Ensure that the navdata.sqlite file in the Sky4Sim folder is larger than 800 MB.

You can now shut down Sky4Sim and restart it from your desktop icon or the Start menu.
