Default (USA) Data suggestion for WinPilot users

Okay, this is partially a plug for my own web site, but after helping
a couple of WinPilot users set up their data files, I want to offer
these suggetions to other users who might be struggling with the same
setup questions:

(1) As mentioned on WinPilot's web page, the airspace data downloaded
there is based on obsolete DAFIF. Skip it! (Especially if you fly near
Phoenix.) The .TXT file (OpenAir(TM) format) you get at www.justsoar.com
is what you should specify in the "Additional Airspace" field of the
"FILES" setup section. That's all you need for accurate airspace.

(2) If you provide a turnpoint file at www.justsoar.com to provide
your geographic area of interest (recommended), the turnpoint file you
get back is the same file appended with all of the FAA's airports in
the same area (i.e., those that are not already in your original
turnpoint file), based on *latest* FAA airport data (a different
database than the what the airspace comes from). If you do this, then
do NOT specify any states under "Aeronautical Info", if you don't want
redundant airport entries displayed on the map.
