Yes, we should check into it, I imagine there are more airports in FSX missing from FS9 then FS9 airports missing from FSX but it would be good to check.

Time Penalty.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182822.jpgThe weather at USHH was bad, but I lost several minutes in the approach. 500 miles is about the max I would attempt in the PC-12.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182824.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182825.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182826.jpg

Probably a slow ride in the Piper Cheyenne IIXL.

A strong headwind didn't help with the time limit. 40 minutes overtime.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182837.jpg

>Strange glitch at the end of the flight, i thought i was>about 10 miles west of the airport then suddenly i was 20>miles north of it. I've seen the FSX GPS fail to update correctly and suddenly move 20-30 miles on several occasions.Usually a few minutes before an OOM error means the end of my flight.I've found by not clicking on the OOM error message - just ignore it, I have about 10 minutes to get the plane on the ground before FSX locks up hard.

There are 794 new airports in FSX which were not in FS2004.There are 61 airports in FS2004 which are not in FSX.1,038 airports change their designator/ ICAO code from FS2004 to FSXThis might help - http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fsxai&DLID=92500Some caveats:This data was collected from RTM version of FSX. SP1 and SP2 have modified some airport data files - and all those changes have not been identified.Two things I know of.LCEN was removed from FSX in SP1 (Ercan, Cyprus - the Turkish airport)X68 was in the original FSX, in SP1/SP2 it is KTTS. (NASA Shuttle Landing Facility, Titusville, Florida)

Only a few minutes to spare . Changed to Rwy 12 as winds lessened enough to try it . Saved some minutes :) http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182855.jpg

Should make up some time at 35000 ft in the Citation X.

Kickoff the North Pacific Corridor with the PMDG 747-400F.
