Additional data: Airport Database.

Data Sources: Airport Database (OurAirports)

To display airports, runways, and metadata on the map, VRS X utilizes the community-driven OurAirports dataset. This allows you to have up-to-date global airport information without bloating the core application.

The Workflow

Just like the Aircraft Database, this follows the BYOD principle. You provide the source, and VRS X handles the heavy lifting of parsing and rendering.

1. Navigate to Admin Panel -> Server Settings.

2. Locate the Airport Database (OurAirports CSV) section.

3. CSV URL: Paste the link to an OurAirports-compatible CSV file.

   • Default recommendation: https://davidmegginson.github.io/ourairports-data/airports.csv

4. Click Import Airports. The process is highly optimized and will finish in a few seconds

5. Scroll down and click Save Configuration
6. Restart VRS X. 

Visible Airport Categories

Not every "airport" is a massive international hub. To keep your map clean and high-performance, you can toggle which categories are natively rendered on the map engine.

Available categories include:

• Large, Medium, and Small airports

• Heliports and Seaplane bases

• Balloonports

• Closed facilities

💡 Pro-Tip: If your map feels cluttered, try unchecking "small airport" or "closed" to focus only on major hubs.
