Custom Tools Manager
An option in the Tools menu provides access to the Custom Tools Manager, which allows you to quickly add or delete custom tools.
Closed Airport Runways
An airport with a closed, or currently unavailable, runway has two visual indications:
- The runway is outlined by a black, dashed line with a yellow background. This indication is visible when scaled in past 1:500 K.
- The airport information dialog shows yellow text for the runway. This indication is visible any time.
Refueling Orbit Boundary

Threat Editor Enhancement
The Personal Computer Integrated Intelligence and Imagery (PCI3) threat format is supported. If you have the DLL loaded, this file appears as a format option when you click the INTEL FEED button in the Threat Editor Toolbar.

Display Meaning of VPF Attributes
You can view the information values indicated in the Vector Product Format (VPF) database fields shown in the information dialog.

When you select a map-data rectangle in a VPF map, the Map Data Manager copies all the tiles that cover the rectangle instead of just the topmost.

- View geo-referenced maps and imagery in native MrSID format similar to current GeoTIFF functionality.
- Copy and delete MrSID data with the Map Data Manager.
- Retrieve meta-data with the right-click pop-up menu.
