First of all thank you for updating my favourite Flight Sim, I’m enjoying MSFS 2020 since a week and really looking forward for future updates and add-ons.
Currently flying in real life at Tours Val de Loire Airport in France (LFOT) I noticed that it is missing in the sim. It is a military controlled airport but opened to the civilian aircraft, from light airplanes to Ryanair B737.
I wish it coul be included in a future update?

I raised a Zendesk ticket about this a few days ago; I suspect I may not be the only one. It seems that many (all? I haven’t checked) French military airports are missing - Landivisiau is another one, for example.
As you say, Tours has a civil terminal as well.
Might be worth making a list of the French military airports that are missing.
Yes please report this via Zendesk
I’ve just submitted a new request in Zendesk (#46099)
You’re probably right, all military airports may be concerned.
I suppose the problem rely on the fact that it is prohibited to publish satellite pictures of military buildings.
If you look at LFOT in bing images the airfield has a real poor resolution with big pixels.
The same for LFRJ.
Nevertheless It would be better to have a generic airfield rather than nothing.
well, you’ll have to take off from sorigny. or poitiers if Sorigny is too small. I Have the same problem.
Have reported this many times, its a military airport so removed from Bing. I am going build it myself as This airport is special to me. LFOT
Same for LFRL. Bigger airports worldwide have the same problem, as soon they are part of a military compound. LEMG, EDDS… are missing.
Same for Istres LFMI and Toulon LFTH
Same for Cuers (LFTF) airport which has the same status …
Lanveoc is missing
Lorient is missing, even though it has a civil airport
LFLC also etc… etc…
i don’t really understand how can airpots be missing when NAVDATA should be updated monthly. Airports database are in NAVDATA
I read somewhere that this problem is being addressed by the dev team (sorry, can’t remember where). So we can expect more airports soon (at least the biggest ones).
Not heard this, hopefully you can remember where?
