New airport and nav-aid data available for X-Plane

by mark.avey on April 11, 2008

X-Plane.org is reporting that new airport and nav-aid data is now available for X-Plane:

Two new sets of “official” airport and nav-aid data are now available:

for X-Plane 8.61 and later

for X-Plane 8.10 - 8.60

This update includes many, many new global airport details, with an increasing number of highly detailed airports that leverage the new WorldEditor tool (WED) and the new airport features supported in X-Plane 8.61 (see KSFO, KDFW, KSLC, KLGA, EBBR …). I was unable to load all the submissions that I received, but these will be added very soon - perhaps in early May. I have to leave for a business trip this weekend, so if you do not see your submission in this update, please be patient for a few weeks.

Please ensure that you download the correct version! Both data sets are identical in scope (but with slightly different formats). If you are using X-Plane 8.50 or 8.60, please upgrade to 8.61 to use this data. The data for X-Plane 8.61 and later works with the very latest X-Plane release (currently X-Plane 9.00 rc3), but you will need to move and rename some of the files (details are on my website). We also hope to include this new data as a part of the installation of the next update to X-Plane 9.0.

As always, get the new data from my website here at X-Plane.org.
