February 11, 201412 yr Ever note to keep track of my serial's receipts etc (and useful snippets!) Plan g to track my airports via a custom marker for each field. Bonus is you can use the display rings to get an approximate time and distance to each Louise London, UK
February 11, 201412 yr hehe, been there done that. Excellent ... I've just added my vote to the request ... fingers crossed.
February 11, 201412 yr Commercial Member I manage a Private Freeware Scenery Library for our group. In almost 6 years, we've added over 60GB of freeware scenery, and 99% of the time we rename and/or reformat the scenery as shown below, so each member knows AT A GLANCE exactly what they have installed (without having to keep a list). It also lets us know (again, at a glance) if an update from one of the many different sources of scenery is applicable or if we should update to a later released scenery. No need to maintain a list because the scenery IS the list. One of those "Work smarter, not harder things I guess. Using Scenery Config Editor is also a nice twist, though not absolutely necessary. Our method is to Rename (sometimes have to reformat) at the Scenery as follows:: Airport ICAO, Author, Date AND/OR Version Number. Examples: CYQB Quebec City Ver2 CYQR Regina Chris Lee 11-2011 KBHM Birmingham City Only 1.1 KBHM V1.1 12-2011 KBKL Burke Lakefront 07-2012 KBOS Boston V2 FS9 07-2013 KCLT Ray Smith 12-2012 KEKO Eric Cagan 2-2013 KGRB GREENBAY X HD Ver 1.0 KJAX Art Poole Update 12-29-2011 KJFK PR Glenn Johnson 09-2011 EGFF Cardiff PR FSX 12-2007 EGGP Liverpool V5.0a 2006 EGLC London City H Patten 12-2013 EHAM V1A Stefan Liebe 2-2013 Hope this helps.

February 11, 201412 yr I too use an email sub-folder appoach. My "main" computer has all the information from purchase codes, etc. to updates. My "sim" computer also has the same folders and thus when I need to install or re-install all the information is readily available. _________________________________________________________________________ Bob "roadwarrior" Werab Config: ASUS Prime Motherboard, RYZEN 5, 32 GB Ram, Radeon RX5700 XT, 2 TB SSD
February 11, 201412 yr Commercial Member Excellent ... I've just added my vote to the request ... fingers crossed. Sorry for being cryptic, I meant I had already made a program so I can visit only a subset or group of airports, like making flights only in PNW for example. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com
February 12, 201412 yr Sorry for being cryptic, I meant I had already made a program so I can visit only a subset or group of airports, like making flights only in PNW for example. I mis-read ... I see ... is it part of PFPX?
February 12, 201412 yr Commercial Member is it part of PFPX? I've got PFPX but I've just not spent enough time to check for such a facility, though it could well have something like it, since it only needs a file containing the list of allowed airports as a filter.

February 12, 201412 yr Ideal Flight does this easily and very slick. All I do is fly between my installed airports now. Simple matter of putting the ICAO codes in a text file called My Airports. If you don't know what you have installed, IF can easily help you find them out in 2 different html files listing your installed scenery.
February 12, 201412 yr As one of my main issues was trying to decide where to fly next in the time available, I went down the route of installing Ideal Flight and I am now gradually adding my payware and good freeware airports into a "favourites" category within this great utility. I can now generate a random or predefined flights as the mood takes me preferentially using my favourite airports (or any other airports) if I wish. Bill Ideal Flight does this easily and very slick.
