MSFS24 SU2 Beta - navdatareader v1.2.3 is not producing an output

[twodogzz]

I'm using FS24 SU2 Beta and want Simfocus helipads available in NF2 (NeoFly2). (I've activated the NF2 Simulation setting: Simfocus helipads payware.)
Simfocus released "Update 9 for autogen helipads V2 (2020 and 2024) on 2nd April 2025. This added over 500 new pads all around the world.

Do I have to do anything "special" to have these 500 new helipads in NeoFly2?

NF4's airport database hasn't been updated in a while. It might be in the next update, or the one after that. You can still follow these steps to generate your own navdata with the latest Simfocus update. The only difference is for navdatareader the command will be navdatareader.exe -f msfs24

⁠👾nf4-bug-reporting⁠
As before, it's still unsupported so make sure you keep backups

Unfortunately, for me, the NavdataReader.exe method results in no output.
According to the error log file it seems to be looking for "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024" instead of I guess, "Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe".

Is there a MSFS 2024 installed on this computer and is it running while trying to load the database?

The helipads should normally show up in LNM if they show up in MSFS.

I'll have a look at the Navdatareader. If all fails you can use LNM to load the database from MSFS 2024 and use the file little_navmap_msfs24.sqlite.

Hi Alex,
Thans for getting back to me. In the meantime, I'd like to use file little_navmap_msfs24.sqlite, but I can't locate it. Can you please point me in the right direction?

And yes, to all your questions and LNM works as expected✅️
MSFS24 is installed and open when I run navdatareader.exe -f MSFS24

I'm trying to update the airports & helipads in Neofly. Specifically the helipads purchased from SimFocus.
Your navdatareader app is what I was using to generate the data for Neofly2.

It is stored in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ABarthel\little_navmap_db\little_navmap_msfs24.sqlite
There are no differences between the LNM database and the one compiled by the Navdatareader.

Chapter Files in the user manual describes all files and paths.
