How Does the Sim Determine What Airfields Are Non-Operational?

I had another person mention, (in reply to a comment I made in another thread about the same thing), that the NYC data was similarly dated, at least in certain respects.

The North Shore of Long Island has a number of notable omissions.  The Shoreham Nuclear Power Station being entirely missing is one of them.  The entirety of the Stony Brook University Campus, including their 40-or-so year old Medical Center, is also missing.  And so on.

The South Shore is just as bad - the entire Robert Moses Causeway and the famous twin bridges are also conspicuous by their absence.  This is tantamount to finding the Eiffel Tower missing in Paris, or the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty being missing in the NYC area.

IMHO, there may be more to this than just stale AIRAC data. :wink:
