Delete airport entries from launcher mask

Postby Micha » Fri Jan 22, 2021 12:11 pm

Newbie question (I hope this is the correct section):
I uninstalled some scenery by simply deleting the relevant subfolders in the FlightGear scenery folder. This worked fine.
However, the airports which I tried out from these deleted sceneries are still listed in the Qt launcher mask when I start FlightGear. Being a tidy person I would like to delete these unnecessary entries. Is this possible? There is no delete button.

I have Windows 10, FG 2020.3.5

All airports are always shown for selection (i.e. turn up when searching for them), having a scenery installed or not just means that you will see terrain at the airport or not. If you want to remove them from the list that shows up when clicking on the Location tab of the launcher, i.e. your airport search history, this currently doesn't seem possible without manually editing the respective files in your FG user directory, but could be a feature to add.

If you pick enough airports, eventually the old ones will get cycled out of the list (which can be annoying if you're trying to remember that one airport from last month though).
Get my custom FG liveries here: https://flightgearhusky.altervista.org/

I'm off at college so I've stopped making liveries (for the time being, at least), but I'm continuing to ensure compatibility for the ones I've already published.
