Has there been any official update on this?
Navigation+
Charts+
NAVBLUE will provide real-world aeronautical data to Microsoft through its Navigation+ and, post launch, Charts+ services, to support the realistic experience that is the next generation “Microsoft Flight Simulator” software.
It’s been asked in most of the Q&As and we’ve never gotten any firm answer. It’s a huge unknown atm.
I don’t recall hearing an answer for it in the last Q&A, but the answer in the notes for the Q&A say that it was un-prioritized.
Edit:
Here it is in the video.
It’s been over a year. Maybe better to move on and see if an arrangement can be made with Navigraph since they are the defacto standard across flight sim platforms.
If I had to guess, having day to day contact with salespeople , and contracts, it sounds like a classic case of overpromise, and under deliver. From Navblue I mean, not Asobo.
We got the NAV data, but I suspect the Charts+ deal has fallen flat on its face for some reason. A further guess would be the cost of Charts+ to everyone for free was just too expensive, but perhaps a discount for MSFS users would be possible.
If we as users have to pay, why Navblue? Unless significantly cheaper than Navigraph, what would be the value proposition?
