December 2, 201114 yr Where in FSX can you find the file that list all countries on the "Current Locations" screen.I have duplicate countries (ie, United States - United Kingdom -etc.)? Want to delete them or at least correct the spelling. Reddfarr
December 2, 201114 yr These are read out of airport files, either the default APX files or in add on files. You'd have to identify the offending file(s), decompile them to XML, edit the entries and then recompile. Not an easy task. I don't anticipate any of the APX (default) files would need to be corrected. If there was that possibility, it would entail a whole lot more effort to be done properly.

December 2, 201114 yr You can run Pete Dowson's MakeRwys utilty (under Useful Additional Files) and it will output several files... the runways.txt and the runways.xml files (they're both pretty big) will contain this data.Examples... <ICAO id="00AL"><ICAOName>Epps Airpark</ICAOName><Country>United States</Country><State>Alabama</State><City>Harvest</City><Longitude>-86.770279</Longitude><Latitude>34.864811</Latitude><Altitude>820</Altitude><MagVar>0.000</MagVar><Runway id="01"><Len>2300</Len><Hdg>10.000</Hdg><Def>Grass</Def><ILSFreq></ILSFreq><ILSHdg></ILSHdg><Lat>34.861698</Lat><Lon>-86.770950</Lon></Runway><Runway id="19"><Len>2300</Len><Hdg>190.000</Hdg><Def>Grass</Def><ILSFreq></ILSFreq><ILSHdg></ILSHdg><Lat>34.867908</Lat><Lon>-86.769608</Lon></Runway></ICAO> Airport 00AL :N34:51:53.2932 W086:46:12.9985 820ft Country Name="United States" State Name="Alabama" City Name="Harvest" Airport Name="Epps Airpark" in file: Scenery\0302\scenery\APX24190.bgl Runway 1 /19 centre: N34:51:53.2932 W086:46:12.9985 820ft Start 1 : N34:51:42.4734 W086:46:15.3193 820ft Hdg: 10.0T, Length 2300ft Computed start 1 : Lat 34.861698 Long -86.770947 Start 19 : N34:52:04.1129 W086:46:10.6778 820ft Hdg: 190.0T, Length 2300ft Computed start 19 : Lat 34.867908 Long -86.769611 Hdg: 10.000 true (MagVar 0.000), Grass, 2300 x 200 ft *** Runway *** 00AL0010 Lat 34.861698 Long -86.770950 Alt 820 Hdg 10 Len 2300 Wid 200 *** Runway *** 00AL0190 Lat 34.867908 Long -86.769608 Alt 820 Hdg 190 Len 2300 Wid 200 FSM A/P 00AL, lat=34.864811, long=-86.770279, alt=820
December 2, 201114 yr Thank you for the fast response. Sounds like more trouble than its worth...Depending upon how many there are, it's possible to make an XML template and use that to fill in the data for the airport. All the runway, apron, taxiway info is not needed, just primarily name, lat/lon, etc. Compile the file and make sure it get's read before the default APX files and the corrected location data will stick inside FSX.SDKs would be required.
