Unfortunately the information from that site isn't formatted in a
database format... i.e. I can't get all of the worldwide airport data
in a single file using it... Getting the data and having to re-enter
it manually isn't of much use.

Also, sales in the U.S. which has always been my biggest market have
fallen off to the point where it isn't a viable business...

Thanks!

I for one decided to shut down my flight planning software business
(AirPlan) because:

1. My sales were not stellar, and

2. Without the DAFIF, I could no longer offer worldwide coverage, and
I have a significant number of customers outside the Americas.

How many other aviation products that used the DAFIF are also going
away? Any yet?

You can get navaid details, and much more, from Eurocontrol
www.ead.eurocontrol.int (free registration). There are lots of reports
you can run. Eurocontrol also have a software product called Skyview

http://www.eurocontrol.int/ais/skyview2/index.htm

which can, I believe, generate reports, and crude charts. That site
also contains links to servers which can deliver terrain scenery, but
I could never get that side to work.

No enroute charts though; the US ONC/TPC charts are the only charts
available for much of the world.

I've never heard of Airplan - is it this:

It looks like a nice product. I spent enough time playing with this
stuff myself: http://www.peter2000.co.uk/ls800/index.html

I see your screen shots are all from the USA, but the US sectionals
will continue to be available. And European sectionals (enroute
charts) have never been available for free anyway.
