Improvements in US Airspace/Airport data at www.soaringdata.info by
2KA
Hi All,
Just in time for the holiday season, I've made a couple of
improvements on my website:

I noticed one or two users that had problems when their CUP turnpoint file contained tasks that used numbered turnpoints. In one example, the turnpoint file started with "01Beloit-WI". Any tasks using that turnpoint (or any other numbered one) would get messed up. That issue has been corrected,...

Here are a couple of things I've been asked about several times. I
thought I would post here for wider distribition:
