RNAV Departure and Arrival procedures are now standard at Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS). However, those with default flight simulator databases that have not had AIRAC/database updates since late 2011 may not have been able to fly those procedures... until now.
With many thanks to fellow VATSIM controller Trystan Verf, the Boston ARTCC is pleased to make available a scenery file that contains all of the RNAV DP and STAR waypoints that can be found on the current KBOS RNAV Departure and Arrival Procedures.
This file will enable pilots who utilize their default MSFS GPS the ability to recognize the current KBOS RNAV waypoints in their GPS. Pilots can then fly waypoint to waypoint via their default GPS, enabling them to fly the KBOS RNAV Procedures.
The file may be downloaded here:
Boston ARTCC RNAV Procedures Waypoints FileTo install it, just place it in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder within your main FSX (or FS9) folder. Anyone who installed the previous version of the file with the RNAV DP waypoints released last fall should simply overwrite the older file with this one.
The author tested the file for FSX, but can't say if it will work in FS9 as it was compiled with the FSX SDK compiler. If anyone tries it with FS9, we would appreciate feedback as to whether or not it works.
Please email any discrepancy reports to
[email protected] and thanks for flying with us in Boston!
