BrettT Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Here is the latest list of freeware FTX airports added as Plan-G markers Global Airfields (Free) 9-8-16.csv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Hi Brett Are these all or nothing or, can you pick and choose those you want? If so, how do you separate them out? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettT Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 I believe they are all or nothing. In Plan-G you import the csv file and the program compares it to what is currently in its data base. Anything that isn't already in the Plan-G data base will get added. Anything that is already in it will be left out. You could always edit the CSV file in excel but deleting the rows you do not want and save it as a csv. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks Brett. I think I'll pass and stick to what I have. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinker Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks for your reply, I do have planG use it all the time. What would I do to use with planG? spinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettT Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 You just go to "data...manage...import" Basically it is a way of putting a marker by all the FTX global freeware airports in the airport packs, so you know which ones have been updated. Do a search on here and I have also put up some files that do something similar for the POI for the regions as well. A CSV file is just a text file with Comma Separated Values. It can be read with any text reader or excel or something like that. It is also the format that Plan-G reads in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettT Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 You may need to zoom out a little bit. The marker's might be covered by the airport icon within Plan-G. If you zoom out enough you should see a bunch of yellow squares which show where the Freeware FTX airports are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reasonably sure I imported that cvs file correctly, so who knows? That's ok...I have the kmz file(s) through #27. Just waiting for #28. Thank you anyway.

Pegaso Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks a lot for your contribution, Brett. Very much hoped to find such data for Plan-G! Kind regards, Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I used PlanG but then it got mucked about with, so I uninstalled it. Ther was a way to reuse it using a map from mapbox or some thing like that, but I couldn't get it to work. I did like PlanG shame. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettT Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Look around Derek...there are some posts on here on how to get mapbox to work within it. Stewart, you may need to adjust the LOD that certain features (Ie user waypoints appear/disappear). Got to Map on the ribbon strip then click the little arrow in the corner of the "user waypoints" menu bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The user 2 box is highlighted but the tickbox (when you click the little arrow) is not ticked. So something else is going on that doesn't seem to be documented in the user manual. Oh well.

rf253 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Some time ago I took on the exercise and compiled The Australian Air Services ERSA (Enroute Supplement) which lists ALL registered Australian IFR and VFR waypoints in it. I created 'Data CSV' files for both IFR and VFR locations so they could be found and used with Plan-G when creating (.PLN) Flightplans for FSX There were some 1,923 IFR waypoints and 1,012 VFR waypoints and most are non-existent in FSX at all and were simply not shown when building the database for Plan-G from FSX. This post refers to another Website which I hope ORBX see this is purely to help other Flightsim community members. I posted the Data CSV files at the 'OZx World Of Simulations' website which I must advise I have no vested interest in whatsoever but was just another source for the Flightsim community with a variety of add-on software and liveries available The Data CSV files are FREE to anyone to download IFR link here http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/3166-plang-australian-ersa-ifr-waypoints/ VFR link here http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/3153-plang-australian-ersa-vfr-waypoints/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtrack Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Go to File/Options....and change the Map Provider (right hand box). I use the OpenCycleMap option which is still available and works well enough. The 2 csv files you do with as stated earlier in the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettT Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Stewart, If you are comfortable with excel you could simply open the csv file and change the first column from "10,s" to "9's". I believe this will change them to the blue boxes (or pick another number that you don't really use) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtrack Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Unzip them and you will find .csv files. WinZip, WinRAR, 7zip or something similar as apposed to M$ built in unzipper. Plenty of free ones available. I use WinRAR (best of the bunch IMHO) myself which was the program used to zip it up in the first place, hence .RAR files. You can download a trial version for free if I remember rightly. Been many years (15+) since I first bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
