I have noticed that some navaid frequencies aren't the same in-game as they are in on-line sources, so check the MS Flight map to make sure your frequencies are correct before you jump into a job or you might just find yourself tuning a navaid on the wrong frequency! (KOA is one.)WildBill

I thought RunwayFinder was going down the end of February. It still says that if you click on the News tab. I'll miss it when it's gone.Hook

I believe today is the last day for Runway Finder, unless they changed their mind.

If it were me... giving myself advice :Tounge:I'd order a sectional chart that interests me most (like Hawaii or maybe whatever covers where I live) from Sporty's Pilot Shop or another vendor... and possibly a Terminal Area Chart.... and spend time searching over the chart doing the "oh, what's this?".Also, I would recommended downloading (and possibly printing) this FAA Chart User's Guide just in case something not on the map's legend. http://aeronav.faa.g...uide_10thEd.pdfJust spend a little time with it and quiz yourself... I think they are quite interesting maps.

I would appreciate if MS Flight included all sectionals and chart types as DLC packages. After all they have a partnership with Jeppesen

A chart package from MS would be a great idea. MSFS never had charts though. I always bought SimCharts from Jeppessen, but I don't think they're doing that anymore. So it's up to MS now.

Or you could order an actual sectional for 8 bucks, or you could get an app that displays them, or you could go to skyvector to get sectionals.

You are correct; there are many ways to get them; but I would prefer a DLC for Flight.Anyway Airnav, SkyVector, and every other site I know about, have sectionals and charts only for the US. How about the rest of the World?(Up until a couple years ago you could get all charts from FAA.gov)

Actually.. waaaaaaaaaaay back, FS came with rudimentary charts for the 4 scenery areas included at the time... old folks like me can confirm this... lol

Add me to that list, I also remember the huge maps that came with ProPilot.

Well we will have to cross that bridge when we get there. But right now there are great resources for charts in Hawaii and Alaska
