By the way: Tocumen (MPTO), the airport of Panama City, Panama, is missing. You can see both the old (current) and new terminals, but no runways at all.
The strange thing is that other airports in the city are there. In fact, the city is very well depicted, with some of its main buildings being shown.
I appreciate that this is probably a gradual in the background process right now but I would like to see some missing airports (including some quite large and/or iconic ones) added to the sim. For instance Barra (EGPR) in the highlands of Scotland where you land on the beach, and I know that Eindhoven airport is another instance of an airport that is missing right now.
You can also submit it to ZenDesk, using the “Submit a Request” option on the top menu bar. Select the “Feedback & Feature Requests” category, and be sure to provide as much detail as you can about the missing facility.
Thank you both for your replies, both really helpful. Again I know that the sim is going to be subject to continuous development through world updates etc in the coming months so looking forward to seeing what gets added. Also amazing to see these third party renditions of the two example airports which look fantastic!
Trying to do a flight from ebbr Brussels to EHEH Eindhoven. When try to load in the flight plan I get EHEH not in database. Anyone else have this problem?.
There seem to be 1000+ missing airports all over the world.
EHEH has already been highlighted, you can vote for the topic and also should raise a zendesk for this so we can create more noise.
It has everything to do with (mixed) military use.
Those areas are blurred out on Bing maps, and, as such, the AI doesn’t have any satellite imagery to process.
Not sure why there are more areas blurred out on Bing than on Google maps, but that’s the cause at least.
As people above have stated, report missing airports to Zendesk, and vote up the topic linked above.
Yup have filed some zendesk about this myself already. Problem is that Bing classifies it as Military, so it’s blocked out on the satellite image. Therefor the AI can’t distinguish an airport there. Untill Bing fixes that, nothing can be done natively.
