Thank you .
Missing PAVD Valdez airport in Alaska. A stunning location for sure.
Any idea if this airport could be added?
There are mods for this airport, I was just there last night. I do know that some modders reported that part of all of their created sceneries were not working after the last patch.
Perhaps to allow their partner ORBX to sale their Valdez Airport (beautiful !) when it will be ready 
We should wait for World update 2 to see if they will add it (and also if Lake Hood will be back after disappearing with patch #2)
Im so glad to see others are missing this airport. This and Seward (SWD) were my favorite airports in X-Plane, and I had added some scenery to the small strips along the river to the north of Seward. It was fun to conduct a “supply run” in the Bell 407 out of Seward. You can imagine my chagrin when I made a beeline for it after installing MSFS 2020 only to find it wasn’t there. Hope it makes it in the update.
Missing several airports in ALASKA and Yukon Area.
As well the geografic altitude sometimes with lots of big bumps.

Please, repair Valdez Pioneer, (PAVD). Is very bad!
Thanks.
I did a search in the Forum and it looks like the months of reports of this MIA airport have been closed.
Valdez Pioneer Field Airport, VDZ is still not on the world map.

We need a World Update just for Alaska. There are a lot of missing airports up there just because the Bing Maps data is bad or missing. In the meantime:
That looks very good. I’ll have to figure out how to add it. I noticed a Google file. Can it be done without anything Google?
I will be flying into the Sound in the next few minutes to see how it all looks compared to when we drove there then fished, went whale watching, and sight seeing.
You just click the download button at the top right. Then extract the zipped folder in your Flight Simulator community folder.
Don’t expect the adjacent scenery to look great. The reason Valdez is missing is because the Bing Maps aerial imagery is bad there. The airports are autogenerated based on the Bing imagery, so if the imagery is bad or missing, the airport isn’t created.

Worked great Skip. The F-15 the only thing I had in that community folder.
Across the water from the Airport under that pyramid-shaped peak to the right of the airport sign is where I stood, in waders, off shore fishing.- memories. You are right, the details of the MSFS scenery are rough. I can’t even find the pipeline terminals up on the opposite shore.
