FYG001 Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) Very recently (XP12/HS 1.7) ghost XLF airports started popping up on the MFD in France. Min RWY set to 6000 ft. They are really all over. Tens and tens of them. Linked to XP or HS? Edited January 21, 2023 by skiselkov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYG001 Posted January 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Right, hospital helipads, but they should not show up with min RWY length in the FMS set at 6000 ft, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the name suggestions "MIN RWY" only applies to "NEAREST APTS" not "APTS". Edited January 21, 2023 by Pils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skiselkov Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 NEAREST APTS MIN RWY is applied to the NEAREST APTS subpage of DIRECT-TO and the magenta airports displayed on the MFD map when in MAP SYMBOLS > NEAREST APTS is enabled. The "APTS" function just shows all airports with any runways. Note in the screenshot below that the magenta airports are the "NEAREST APTS" (to which the runway length filter is applied). The blue ones are all the other ones ("APTS"). Why the XLF<whatever> airports have a runway defined, I cannot say, but according to the scenery data, they most definitely have one. In case of XLF000D, for example, there's a 986 ft runway defined. In short, working as intended, X-Plane says there's a runway there, so we show it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you determine they were helipads? Because I checked all three on Gateway/Google Maps and they're just little GA grass airstrips.

FYG001 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi Skiselkov, fully clear, thanks Hi Pils, the first one in the list were helipads, hence I assumed the others would be as well. But NOT saying that the MFD shows the helipads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But NOT saying that the MFD shows the helipads Thanks for clarifying. I didn’t follow before. The “X” prefix is used in Gateway for anything that doesn’t have an ICAO code, basically, so that it can be globally unique.
