I am looking to complete the flight from KSLC to KDXZ as it is part of the Four Corners Club. It shows as a current flight rather than a historical one but the only airport I can find is KSGU. After some research it appears the KDXZ was replaced by KSGU and I was able to find KDXZ in the avsim library as an add on, however that is for FS9 and FSX. I did not find one for any other flight platform. As this shows as a current flight should KDXZ be changed to KSGU or do we have to wait for one to be built for MSFS 2020 and the other platforms?

Thanks,
Deryl Warren

Deryl,

In order to assist pilots with older simulator platforms we had to create a “fictional” airport code for the old St. George airport. KDXZ is optional. Pilots with newer simulator platforms can fly to KSGU whereas pilots with older sim platforms such as FS2004 can fly to the old one (KDXZ).

I hope this helps answer your question.

Best regards,
Joe

For now, you could select another destination on the list. The Four Corner requirement is to land at 30 of the 32 airports listed.

The 32 airports listed are ABQ, ASE, CDC, CNY, COS, DEN, DRO, DTA, DXZ, EGE, FLG, GCN, GJT, GUC, HDN, IGM, LXV, MLF, MTJ, OGD, PGA, PHX, PUB, PUC, RIL, SAF, SGU, SLC, TEX, TUS, VEL, YUM.

You could skip DXZ and select another instead, as long as you land at 30 of these 32 airports.

Oops, I see Joe beat me to it. Anyway, have fun completing the Four Corners Club.

Yes it is optional. Have fun. I still need to fly and complete this one too.
