What if i’m making a GPS unit? People working on the widely used GPS units have already said that they have flaky access to the internal FS navdata, and that they cannot use the Navigraph database cause they cannot access files outside of the sandbox. They have also expressed difficulty with flight plans, since you cannot simply save a flight plan to a folder and load it up. Then you have the GPS units based on Garmin trainers which aren’t technically possible because of these limitations.
There are a lot of gauges that need to both display data and access the file system.

The Aerosoft CRJ comes with its own standalone NAV database (the same one used with the P3D version), which exists as a series of text files. Accessing the data on disk is not a problem - the only proviso is that the database must be contained in a sub folder of the main aircraft installation folder. It can also read externally generated simbrief flight plans as long as they are placed into a folder that the aircraft has access to.
