• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello:
AI Flight Planner v3.1.14
"This file contains unused airports which have been discarded."

How do I find out what airports have been discarded.

What does it mean by unused.
If I don't have them then Ill make them.

What does it mean by unused.
They are airports that the developer of the flight plans left in the airports.txt or traffic file but are not require for the operation if the traffic. AIFP discards them.

How do I find out what airports have been discarded.
With great difficulty if you are starting with a traffic file. If you are starting with a file set, compare the contents of airports.txt with the airports shown in the Aircraft List. Bottom line, you don't need to since they are not used. Their removal simply make the traffic file smaller.
