No, but it would be a very good alternative, to point (other color in Bold) in order to know which ones are finished.

Currently I am using the file size of the airport description file as a help which airport might be handmade. The bolder the colour, the more file size the airport description file has.
As long as I do not decompile the airport files, this is all I can do.

This can be a good reference in most cases, but it's not always accurate.
If I choose, for example, LFSB, which seems to be a bright color, unfortunately, we won't be able to refer to it as a large airport, but rather an obsolete one, which is present here by default.I mean, we won't be able to refer to examples like LSGG, LSZH, EDDF, EDDL, EDDM, or those in China, Japan, Turkey, Australia, and so on... which also seem to be brightly colored, if you know what I mean.

ApfelFlieger is it possible to get your list again, this time with the additional airport names? I could start to add the codes to ourairports.com, to improve the map.

Of course - right now I'm just less on the computer due to school holidays.

Here are the airfields with 6-digit airfield codes.

Hi,
many years ago I made an airport list for FS2 in Excel. It contains direct links to Google Maps and to airnav.com.
Don't know whether it is still of use or the links can be merged with other tools. -
