November 21, 201114 yr Hi Jim,I have been an avid user of ActiveSky for years now and use the 6.5 version for FS9 which works well for me.Right now, I am test flying in Asia a bit more than usual, mainly in China. Many of the Chinese airports are not supported in ActiveSky.I was wondering if it is possible for a user such as my self to "add" to ActiveSky's database of airports in any way? Or is it not possible for an end user?Such places as ZUJZ (Jiuzhai Huanglong airport) in Songpan, Sechuan Province, a big tourist spot, or ZUGU (Guangyuan) which is an alternate for ZUJZ. Even Squawkbox does not know these places.Much of mainland China is not in the dataset of ActiveSky - even the old VHHX Kai Tak. Plus, such newer airports like VTBS, the new Bangkok airport, is not there.Just want to see if it is possible to update the dataset at allThanks for your time,Lee James Lee JamesDesktop Pilot - www.virtualairlinepilot.org Instagram - virtualairlinepilot_leeCheck out my Adventure Videos & FS Reviews on YouTube at VirtualAirlinePilot !
November 22, 201114 yr Hi Lee,You could try adding the airports to airports.dat and see if that works. (Backup first of course) It is a text file and all you need is the lat/long.Regards Rog Rog Hanson
November 25, 201114 yr Author Rog,Ok did not know that this was the case. I actually added the data to the PMDG Navdata files to allow the FMC to find the airports and for me to fly there - so I will try this.Thanks for your kind reply,Lee Lee JamesDesktop Pilot - www.virtualairlinepilot.org Instagram - virtualairlinepilot_leeCheck out my Adventure Videos & FS Reviews on YouTube at VirtualAirlinePilot !
