For regional runway numbers and ILS data updates.. go here.. https://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html

..and it is FREE

I ran that update ILS tool from Herve and can attest it works well.  Almost too well for if you have a few airports that you have already corrected the navaids with ADE as I now one must go back through those and add exclusion rectangles  to get rid of the double GS and LOC facilities.  It's easy and doesn't take long but it was an unexpected chore.

SimAddons has an excellent YYC.

What is YYC?  Simaddons sells Canadian scenery.  However I did not see  YYC on their site.  Is this still available?  Does anyone have a link?

Hi Thomas,

Hope this helps,

I just added MMUN Cancun from FSimStudios and am pretty happy with it.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy any other of their products.

Thanks Dan, I pulled the trigger this morning and real happy with it so far, love having 35R finally and performance is good. My first purchase from FSimStudios and will definitely be looking at more of their stuff.

However, I have to say that, as usual anymore for paid airports, the ADEP file is a mess. Parking spots and taxi lines not aligned with the scenery display, generally a lack of parking on the entire south end where most all the GA parks and, my biggest pet peeve, no network for ground traffic. They are everywhere, even on the runways at times. I understand it's a huge airport but a paid field should not have ground traffic on runways/taxiways.

Rant off, sorry for hijacking the thread. It really is a fine piece of work and I can recommend it.

 

Best,

Gerald

Fully agree; however, most developers are only interested in the AF file to ensure AI works at their airport, as if they are making an addon for a game instead of a serious flight simulator.  I call them out all the time for using default navaids instead of doing the homework and placing the DME where it belongs (as an example).

I've seen major developers such as FlyTampa completely miss the mark with it comes to aligning the apron and parking paths with the surface textures they have created.  I don't get it.
