February Developer Stream: Closed for Questions

Airports:

There are two 100+ vote missing airport reports: MPTO Tocumen and LTFM Istanbul. When can we expect these airports to be in the sim?

In a previous Dev Q&A, Jörg stated that it was surprising that Stuttgart airport was [then] missing from the sim, considering its size. Istanbul is one of the largest airports in the world, with about 18 times more annual passenger volume than Stuttgart.

MPTO Tocumen is, by far, the largest airport in Central America. It was missed at launch because Bing aerial imagery had the airport covered in clouds. Bing later got better aerial coverage, and now the “airport” that exists in MSFS is a runway and two buildings, with no runway lights, approach lighting, gates, parking, or a ramp.
