Random airport?

Post by woodstock327 »

Hi,

how do I make the 'Random' airport functionality work, or is it maybe not supported in MSFS? When I click on the 'Random' button nothing happens...

Thanks!

Hi,

FSiPanel uses the stock airport database for the random airport feature.
As we just moved to Navigraph, this will be changed as well very shortly.

To try Random airport feature, you could update stock airport DB by clicking on SETUP / OPTIONS / Update DB.
This action will take around 20 min, after that you should be able to select a random airport.

The idea in the near future is to only use Navigraph database, it will be easier and faster.

Cheers,
