| + | :i: Note: For FS2020 there is an additional option to skip apron data (taxiways will still be imported). Apron data is really big in FS2020 and increase the database build time as well as memory usage of the software considerably. Therefore we recommend to skip apron data, especially for not so powerful computers. | ||

| If you would like to use FS-FlightControl on another computer than the X-Plane one, just create a network share of the X-Plane directory to be accessed by FS-FlightControl for the database build remotely. In case this does not work for some reasons, you could also install FS-FlightControl on your X-Plane computer first just for database build, then copy the database to your FS-FlightControl computer manually. For this reason there is a small link in the dialog shown above that allows you to open the FS-FlightControl data directory. The file that needs to be copied after a successful build is the ''Database-[SimulatorName].bin''. | If you would like to use FS-FlightControl on another computer than the X-Plane one, just create a network share of the X-Plane directory to be accessed by FS-FlightControl for the database build remotely.

| + | ===== Custom Airspace Data ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | FS-FlightControl supports the widely used OpenAir format for custom airspace data. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Just place all airspace files (the file extension should be ''.txt'') that you would like FS-FlightControl to import during database build in an ''airspaces'' directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This sub directory needs to be placed in the FS-FlightControl data directory for FS2020/Prepar3D/FSX/FSW (a link to open the data directory is available at the bottom of the [[installation/database-build#database_build_for_fs2020prepar3dfsxfsw|database build section]]) and in the ''Custom Data'' directory for X-Plane. | ||
| + | |||
| + | :i: Note: X-Plane already provides some airspace data in OpenAir format in the ''Resources\default data\airspaces'' directory which you might want to copy to your ''Custom Data\airspaces'' directory if you want to keep this default airspace data and just extend it with more data. | ||
