I was recently planning a flight from KATL to Panama City, Fl and I noticed that the airport that DVA has on file, KPFN is now CLOSED. But DVA still has it as a destination. Delta airlines now flies into the new airport serving the Panama City area, Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (KECP). This airport is no where to be found on the DVA website.........will this ever be addressed and updated.

Are you sure I did a search and there are nine flights from KATL to KECP? Go to "Find a Flight" and type ECP is the Arriving at window.

yeah I just found it as well on the website, but not on ACARS. ACARS shows KPFN as the destination.

Michael put in a help desk issue so Luke can look into the problem. Also make sure that you do an airport update within ACARS

Here is a pic from the "Find a Flight" page in the "Pilot's Lounge" side menu. Gotcha on the ACARS side and see that ECP is not listed.

It won't be on either. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport was fully completed in the middle of 2010. FSX was released long before that and FS9 even longer. You will have to add it with a file update from AVSIM or somewhere else.

I had the same Issue when I was planning my spring break. Just made a few calls to verify the new airport and thats was it. really good flight, SFB-ECP, also it was great watching all the fighters jets flying over, Tyndall AFB is just south East.

Flightsim.com has the scenery for FS9 and FSX, I did a search for "KECP". I loaded it up for KECP, looks great!

You would have to do it every time you load ACARS. For some reason it won't save it to the list.

KECP is a GREAT airport especially in real life! The FSX and FS9 versions from Flightsim.com look almost Excately like the real thing!
