To have a route database, you do not need something more, it is just a route database... If you want to check your routes validity/legality for each airac cycle (like we do in real world) with some code/automation, then you will need some data for sure. Navigraph and Aerosoft are the only companies providing such data for simulator usage but you may need to check their licenses about possible different usage scenarios (they may not allow you to use their data like that). Anyway, this is more deeper than just a bunch of data and it is not our topic. It is not about sharing data or hiding information, it is about responsibility. If you are going to manage a VA, then you have to consider and cover all aspects of it. One should not build something with relying on external sources. So if a VA needs to have valid, current, usable route database, then that VA should not look outside. This is what I am saying, but you are still thinking about sharing routes between VA's Safe flights
