I am presently making a tour of the US and Canada in my A2A Comanche and I really appreciate the use of the ORBX Airport maps. Thanks for doing this wonderful tool. Much fun to have enhanced airports to explore everywhere I fly.

New Map Addresses

I accidentally deleted all maps out of my Google Drive folder. I had a panic attack for a minute but all was easily fixed. Here are the new addresses for the maps.


KMZ Files Updated 12-5-15 https://www.dropbox.com/s/n3ucd3kwnx...-5-15.zip?dl=0

Added KFOT Rohnerville and EGCW Welshpool Mid Wales Airport.

Freeware Map Update.

I finally got time to go through my freeware map and check it against the PDF's from ORBX.
Please read notes if you are interested.
Links to new KMZ Files and Maps will be at the bottom.

Notes:

My freeware map contains all airports listed on freeware page, not just the global freeware packs.

KSEZ Sedona and KPSP Palm Springs were included in earlier freeware packs. I think they may have been omitted after payware was released for those locations.
I do not show any files for KSEZ in freeware but I do show files for KPSP.
I have decided to leave those on the freeware map for now.

Errors in the PDF:

The following airports are listed in the PDF twice:

4K3
KLXT
KSZL
U96

The following typos:

KBTH is not an airport - should be KBIH.
KXHD is not an airport - should be KHXD.
BHHH is not an airport - should be BGGH.

All 3 correct ICAO's are not on the PDF.

The following airports are in fact freeware airports but are not present on the PDF:

KBNG
CYKX
KASE
KAEJ
M30
KPQI
 KBTL
2NC0
KIML
KBFD
KMKJ
KLWB
KEKY
KIWS
LIRJ

Changes to Freeware Map:

Added CFX6 Vulcan to map.
Moved CVL2 Vulcan/Kirkcaldy to proper location.
Removed CBB7 Tipella. It is now part of PNW region scenery.

Southern CA Freeware Airports

anyone have a list of airports upgraded in ORBX Southern CA?
Click to expand...

Most of them have been upgraded with the release of Southern CA. As such most of the freeware airports in Southern CA have been removed. Working on that revision now.
 
The Truth Ruth

I have gone through the whole map again checking it against the PDF.

Please read notes if you are interested.

Note: My freeware map contains all airports listed on freeware page, not just the global freeware packs.

Notes:

1) With the release of SCA all freeware airports in southern california have been deleted - save for
three around the Yellowstone region. They are O57, O24, KBIH.

2) These airports were added to freeware map: CFC2, CYWJ, CYYQ, KOPF.

3) These airports are indeed freeware airports but are not listed on the PDF(s).
KJYO KAPA KLBF KAVL KNEW KLZU KPDK KTBR KOLV KASE LIRJ.

4)This is the confusing part of the maps. I dug down to the bottom of the box but didn't find a
secret decoder ring. Ouija board helped a little.....

---- KLTY and 4U3 are the same airport. KLTY was formerly known as 4U3. Only 4U3 BGL is present in the Global folder, KLTY has been deleted. Only 4U3 is on the PDF. 4U3 is the main identifier on the map.

---- KEDC and 6R4 are the same airport. KEDC was known as 6R4 before it's expansion in 2011. BGL's for both identifiers are present in the Global folder. Both are on the PDF. KEDC is the main identifier on the map.

---- KARW and 73J are the same airport. KARW was formerly known as 73J. BGL's for both are in the Global folder. Both are on the PDF. KARW is the main identifier on the map.
