Start FS.
Alt->World->Go to Airport...Airport ID.
Enter XXXX where XXXX is the airport ID, e.g. ZPDL
OK
Shift-Z

Read off coordinates and altitude.

Alan, I dont think they exist in default FS database.
Must want to add them as "add-on" airports I assume.

The one I tried did.

I took it he was using TTools which needs a valid Airports.txt file to
compile the traffic.bgl for the FlightPlans.txt in which the missing
airports appear.

Perhaps the OP will tell us.

Thanks for your replies.

I didn't do that procedure, I just searched for
those airports in FSNavigator and they were all
missing.
I'll try doing what you say.
Thanks.

Wonder why they should be missing from FSnav. that is where I looked
for a few of them.

I wonder if I was lucky with the one I picked because it was. Of
course, I now can't remember which one...

I've just checked the Zxxx's and none of them exist in FS. I reckon I
mistyped and struck lucky.

Apologies, all.

It would appear they do not exist at all in default database.

You would need to do the research and perhaps find charts, if there are
any.

Then create the airports, possibly with AFCAD for FS2004 or a scenery
program in the correct locations.

May be worth searching if any have already been done.
.......... it's a "biggy"
