Hi all,
Starting with AIRAC 1601, I intend to restrict FS9 navaids update availability to VORs and NDBs ONLY for the following reasons:
1) Quite a lot of airport data cannot be properly updated anymore in FS9 due to numerous changes in airport general design,
2) Airport updates were limited to the Western Europe area (while more global updates are available for FSX/P3D via the additional regional ILS updates),
3) Amending airport BGL files takes time at each cycle. Doing that for both FS9 and FSX doubles the workload,
4) FS9 is now old and used by only 10-15% of those who access my updates.
However, I understand it could be a bit disappointing for those who still use FS9 so I haven't yet made my decision. I will act according to the feedback I'll receive
Feel free to comment if you wish
Hervé
