Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.
ORBX Airport Maps - Freeware and Payware update
- Thread starter Lonewolfee1
- Start date
FlameOut
SOH-CM-2026
Thanks for your diligence with this tiresome task Lonewolfee1
I have to report and error with this latest freeware package release from Orbx :
W79 - Tappahannock-Essex County Airport, Tappahannock, VA : should be KSXA ...... about 4 miles away on the same side of the Rappahanncock River.
W79 is a closed airport with Yellow X's on both ends of runway ... as depicted in FSX and has not received the "Orbx Freeware" upgrades ! KSXA is there and does have the upgrades but it does not have a little red balloon on the map.
There was also another one that I found in an earlier package release by Orbx (but I can't remember where), that turned out to be a "Weather
Station" and not an Orbx freeware airport. Maybe the airport was there but I just never took the time to find it. I'm sure it was close to the weather station.
I found it ... the weather station ... by using the default map in FSX. The ICAO code could not be programed into the default FSX GPS unit.
It seems like it was a high Latitude airport .....at the top of Canada or maybe it was Alaska.
Thank you again.

Update
Thanks Flameout. I had W79 and KXSA markers in the same place. W79 is on their PDF list and on the Text list of the latest airports added - although it says (closed) next to it on the latter. There are 2 BGL files for W79 in the freeware folder - although no object BGL.
In any case, KXSA is marked correctly. I removed any marker for W79 since it is in fact closed and has no ORBX upgrades to it.
If you find the other airport you mentioned please let me know. I have updated the KMZ files.

Stickyness
You're welcome! Glad you use and enjoy the maps.
My thread was made a Sticky some time ago - for a week. I inquired about it when it's Sticky status ended and here is the explanation.
"Yes there is a reason for un-sticking any thread. They are stickies for a week only. That is protocol. Those that stay stuck have to do with the forum itself. If we didn't do this the stickies would outnumber the regular threads eventually."
I would rather it stay a Sticky also, but I understand where they are coming from.

@ Lonewolfee1,
I'm reporting back on the above posting about an apparent non existing Orbx NA freeware airport.
It is ENJA
This is the " Weather Station" and the "Airport" does not exist in the default FSX's data base for the GPS unit.
I see that Orbx has given us some more freeware NA airports and I assume that you'll be updating the map.
Thanks again for all that you do for us flight simmers.

You are right this doesn't exist in FSX data. I know I made a marker for it in my Plan G Database which I use to create fight plans. I will have a look in FSX - I can make a file for it to show in GPS - just don't know if I did that or not for ENJA. Either way I can send it to you if you'd like. Will make one if I haven't yet. Meanwhile - updates below.

Flameout,
After looking at ENJA more closely, my original reply was not correct. ENJA is a stand-alone freeware airport install and not part of a freeware pack. As such - installing ENJA does add it to FSX database and it does show in GPS.
