Hi Cathy,
If this is your first time installing MSFS be aware that you need an xbox live / microsoft store account otherwise MSFS won't start or install on your PC. I have MSFS on my PC using the Store version and also have thr premium deluxe edition like Rob mentioned.

Hi Rodger,
One of the missing items in the list is most of the countries for each airport probably because MSFS doesn't carry that info by airport. However, a little research will tell you that many of PNG's airport begin with the lettters "AY". With that information and assuming you have Excel, you could go into Excel, choose the Data tab, then choose Sort. In the Column section Choose "ident" in the 'Sort by' drop down option. Then select OK. When you get the Sort warning that some numbers are mixed with text in that sort key, choose "Sort number and numbers stored as text separately and select OK.
Excel will sort the "ident" column so that it runs from "0 to zzzz". Then you just need to go to the section where "AYxx" starts and you will find a big list of airports that are probably in PNG. You could do the same for Colombia which has a lot of airports that have "SKxx" as their ident.

Hi all. Just found another resource for those frustrated by the lack of directory help in MSFS 2020. In the Flightsim site, under "scenery," there is an entry titled "Details of every airport in MSFS 2020" by a guy named Killamarshlan. You can find it through their search function. It is a PDF with very small print, but it gives all sorts of info -- location, runways, etc., etc.. It's a bit too advanced for my level of flying, but you who do the serious stuff might find it helpful.
After following Rodger's great tip and going to flightsim.to Details of Every Airport & Airfield in MSFS2020 and downloading the folder, I found that an Excel file is also contained in the folder which features a very readable list of just over 40K+ airports. The Excel file is easily searched using Excel's "Find & Select" or sorted using Excel's sorting features. The Excel file contains the ICAO/LID identifiers and has most of the airport and city names along with other interesting information like airport elevation, Mag. Decl., longest runway length (ft) etc. The spreadsheet also contains location coordinates but you may want to reverse the columns since the first column is longitude (MSFS expects latitude first.)
For example (using the spreadsheet), a quick jump to the NZQE line in the spreadsheet will tell me that runway length is only 1265 feet so I better choose the Beaver for that arrival.
Note: The files are up to date through World Update XIII.
Thanks, Rodger!

Has it been removed because it is included in the EGPB Sumburgh airport package?
Sumburgh Head lighthouse is advertised in Orbx Direct to be part of the EGPB Sumburgh airport package:
