Update by Doug and Spud
If you are watching the Table at the top of the FAQ page, you will see that is is coming along nicely and is nearing completion. Our goal is to have it completed this coming week for you. Our initial goal was all about fuel management and giving you multiple fuel addition locations. But we also added windsocks and NDBs. Along the way, we found many details that needed correcting, and we fixed those. (Small things, like a hanger missing, a static plane too close to a fuel pump, wrong runway startup numbers, etc). Most people would not notice any of these, but we fixed them as we went.
This is how we found the rather major problem at PF01 K'meen River Bear Lodge. Rod and Steve helped us fix that one, and that is why you saw the NOTAM of the update. Rod did a complete update on this one solving the problems. You should replace that one soon if you have not already done so.
The table, although it is starting to look like it, IS NOT READY FOR USE. Don't "play" with anything below the RED LINE. Spud and I are continually changing and working on it ... we will let you know HERE and by NOTAM when it is ready for you to use.
So there is now fuel at most critical locations ... there are windsocks at all of them and some "fuel start" boxes on some. Note from the table, there were also a few locations where nothing was done, so there will be no need to re-download those.
There is one more addition you have the option of having. Notice the yellow boxes. These indicate that the NDB for that airport location is available for download in the file you will find at the bottom of the table. There is one for the PFxx airports called RTMM PFxx NDBs.zip and another for TFxx airports called RTMM TFxx NDBs.zip. "How" to install these is made clear in the readme that comes with the download. This gives you NDBs for ALL airports in PFxx and TFxx areas. If you do not want these, you do not need to download them. Some people do not feel they are realistic, but others will enjoy "flying the needle" to their next location. It is optional ... your option.
We could use your help at this point. Look at the instructions for the tables and let us know if there are any parts of those instructions that are not clear. We'll work on them until everybody understands what is needed.
Also, notice there is a TO-DO Projects list at the bottom of the table. This is where we will put your suggestions and work on them. Many of these will be fuel pump docks that we find and upgrade, these will mostly be non-airport locations.
What we thought would be a few hours of work, literally has been some long days and nights. My thanks to Spud, Rod and Steve for their help on this project ... we solved some very interesting problems and have corrected a lot of small details. Overall, this will make all of our updated locations more realistic and more error-free. Again, I don't feel any of these except PF01 are critical ... it's all in the details.
