New Airport & Navaid Data 2009.05 For X-Plane

Posted on Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:40:14 GMT

This is data cycle 2009.05 valid from 07 May 2009 to 04 June 2009. There are many global updates, including hundreds of bush strips in Botswana and Namibia, highly detailed airports at EDDH, EDDM, KPAE (for the upcoming Boeing 787 first flight), and the first airport layout to include a golf course (VTBD Bangkok).

Two different versions of the data are available, for X-Plane 8.61-8.64 and for 9.00 and later. Please make sure that you download the correct version of the data (each data version has the same content, just different file and folder names). These files will work under Windows, Mac or Linux. If you wait until the next release of X-Plane, then this data will be installed automatically if you use the "X-Plane Installer" to update your installation. This avoids the need to download my files and install the files into the correct folders! But, if you want the data immediately, then download my files and install them into the appropriate folders.

As always, get the new data from my new web site at: http://data.x-plane.com

Please join me in thanking those who keep contributing to the X-Plane database. Helpful feedback is always appreciated. Please also let me know what you think of the new web site.
