Hi kitercuda, very nice piece of software, congratulations.
As long as it is a VFR tool, what about adding VFR reporting points to the database?

Hi,
I am plannig it, but I am now working on METARs and TAFs (also adjusting QNH by information from METAR)
I did not search for VFR WPT database yet. If anybody know where to find it, please let me know.

I don't know about any global VFR WPT database, don't think it could even exist such thing (Jeppesen maybe?). Anyway that info is at each country AIP, it would be nice for users to enter that info on your program, just name and coordinates. Or I can collect all info (Spain, maybe others like Portugal or France) in any convenient format for you.

Yes it would be nice.
I am now working with one man with Russia on importing Russia VFR WPTs and airspaces...

Hi!
I've inserted the Slovene VFR waypoints manually from the Jeppesen VFR chart and AIPs. We have about 30 of them if remember well so it wasn't a hard work.
Is there a way to export them from the application? Otherwise can re-enter them in Google earth and make a .kmz file.
Maybe other users can make the same for own countries...
Regards,
Andrej

Petr,
Found how to export as .kml. Will check again if all coordinates are correct and will send you.
