For $20/year you get current Tim Newport-Peace (*.sua), OpenAir
(*.txt) and Google Earth (*.kml) files for your desired region, based
on the latest FAA National Flight Database (NFD), which is updated
every 28 days.

When I get the secret decoder ring for the SN-10 format, I'll endeavor
to add that too. I will also try to work with 2KA to integrate
anything he comes up with for airspace from another source --
alternatives are always good.

More info at the main page and the FAQ linked therein.

Nice job on this Ted but I ran into a problem. I'm using GNII with a
Compaq Aero 2100.

The appearance on the downloaded file differs from the normal SUA file
when viewed using notepad. When I open the new one with notepad
everything is displayed as a continuous line of text as opposed to the
old one, which has separate lines of text for each coordinate.

When I loaded the new file into my Compaq Aero it locks up when trying
to open the files. I had to reboot to exit the program.

Wecome to the wonderful world of software programs.
