Posted: Mon May 17, 2010 3:24 amWhen fiddling around with the GPS, I found that the very destinations our beloved Islander flies to aren't in the default data file, so I added them. They may be * slightly* inaccurate, as I did a manual conversion from FSX data to global lat/long - but they should get you there.
There's also a file called apt_info.txt (that stores comms frequencies etc.) which also doesn't have these 4 airports, but I didn't think it was as important.
INSTRUCTIONS
=====================
You need to edit apts.txt ... which is in:
[your path]\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Flight One Software\BN-2 Islander\Navdata
Remember to make a backup first ... then insert these four entries. I put them in alphabetical order, in the corresponding places in the file (just in case). I also matched the formatting with other entries.
