Yes I agree and wish I hadn't started flying from airport to airport in alphabetical order :/ I'm not even out of the A's yet and I'm downloading airports   :D

My bad "HAJM" Its situated in a nice little valley on IFR approach to runway 130. the airport is incomplete like so many I'm finding out. I Still greased the landing at 120 knots with plenty of runway to spare, probably because I was flying a military jet :D

Do you know of any freeware downloads that fix's all the Airports and updates them?

It depends from the complexity of the real thing and your willingness to commit to the project.

A small airport with one single runway and apron, and a small web of taxiways... less than a day with ADE9X. 8-)

More complexity means, of course, more time.

This is sadly true. A project of redoing in a passable way all the airports and/or small strips that in the whole FS world M$ left as a single runway would be titanic at the very least. :-/

Thanks for the info :) I'll update the airports in my sim as I fly from one to the other if a download for the airport exists  :)
