World map : airports missing

finally ! everything is back ! after reinstalling WU15 (this process gave me headache cause I had multiple ctd during download/unpacking/installing those packages) also did again the clearing of SceneryIndexes and Mapscache folders [FlightSimulator 2023-11-17 12-48-25] so I m not sure wich one of both made the fix, maybe both combined. to try to fix those CTD during WU15 install [image] (related to nvwgf2umx.dll and few ones ntdll.dll reinstalled & updated my nvidia driver) I m sure th…

Re-installing world updates in the content manager did not fix the issue. However this made me checking the file structure in …\Official\OneStore. The following folders have been updated on 12 JUL 2024:

fs-base-nav
fs-base-genericairports
fs-base-ai-traffic

After removing those folders and forcing re-download upon starting MSFS, the default airport selection has been restored.

Thanks for your input that made me investigate in the right direction!

This did not work for me… what did work was (Steam Edition) deleting the following folders:

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\DCE
C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SceneryIndexes

My symptoms were various airports not being found on the map screen - I could type the ICAO, but the airport name wouldn’t be found. I could see gates, select one for departure but clicking the Fly Now button would do nothing.

Problem solved.

Hi @alex7776676,
If the solutions mentioned so far in this topic have not worked for you, perhaps the information in these two threads might help:

Majority of airports missing after recent set of updates

I have noticed the last couple of days MSFS does not display the majority of airports on the Map or in game. I live in Houston and typically fly all the local airports in MSFS. But today Pearland KLVJ, Ellington KEFD, Galveston KGLS, to name a few, are no longer on the map. And in game is just the Bing depiction. I look around the US, the same thing. Select large airports such KIAH and KHOU are there. What the heck happened?? I have tried the cache clearing, fs-**** reload, but no remedy yet. So…

MSFS Almost all airports disappeared from world map?

I’m having a really strange issue. One day I started MSFS and poof… All my airports have disappeared. I’m impressed by this magic trick but I would like it to be reversed. As you can see in North America, only the westside is populated by airports and for some reason there is a cut going the eastside. (This is the only region having airports, the other part of the world doesn’t have any airports). What I already have done: Delete Mapcache Delete rolling cache Reinstalled WU13/14/15 Reinstall…
