Screenshots time (for more news and release date see just above)

Presenting to you the new "Airport Database", new size, new search field, new button, new features.


It's not anymore a "price information only database", but a very quick and Useful Airport Database (that may save your life )
(the text formatting may change in the final release, I'll take your remark in account for this)




New information: the distance from your current location to the airport found, you can sort the list by ICAO, country, airport name or Distance. The display is still "light speed" fast, a search by any criteria take less than 100ms.




New feature, the button "show airport around my position" that display all airport in a 200 km range, here sorted by distance.
Useful if you need to quickly find a close airport for an emergency landing (you still have the descent calculator in the flight menu)




New feature: A complete display of all useful data from airport
Position, altitude, com frequency, runway, surface and ILS etc.

(the text formatting may change in the final release, I'll take your remark in account for this)



Another big airport, KSFO:



You can also search by longitude and latitude (decimal, not DMC)
If the coordinate are really close from an airport it will return this airport:



... else it will return a list of closest airport with a help text:
(The distance shown is from your current location, here my aircraft is still in germany)




The database include by default all the 24500 airport of Prepar3D (Maybe much more if a tester have a lot of third party addon with more airports.) But if you add a scenery with an unknown airport, you'll need to refresh the database to include it.
This utility available in the default installation will be present in menu and various place so it's easy to locate and launch.

It scan and refresh the airport database in a few seconds:

Completed in 1.13 seconds. Database refreshed
Nbr of airport found: 24502
Nbr of runways found: 30653

(Okay I cheated, I launched it two time : ) but if the BGL files are not in disk cache it take about 5 to 10 seconds at most )

PLANNED feature - (This is NOT done yet, I edited the image to show how it might look like.)


When you start a flight, you'll be able to enter up to two airport ICAO so you can print a manifest will all the required references.




Notice: I just finished the display (5AM) it may not be perfect yet, you are welcome to make any remark or if you see a typo in the various text.
