What's become of navigeo.org?

What's become of navigeo.org? It was a neat website with a list of aerodromes in France, very complete with even links to their "cartes VAC". I understand it was created as a successor to nav2000. But it has been unavailable for several months now, what happened? Is there a successor?

I know about basulm.ffplum.fr , where a lot of aerodrome info can be found, but not the "cartes VAC" I think; and I miss the "quick and dirty" flight planner that navigeo.org provided. Yes yes, I have a subscription to SkyDemon, but that will not run on my Linux pc, only on Android or Windows. Shame on them!

Not surprising. Penguins can't fly.

Not a good comparison: the non-availability for Linux is solely a matter of priorities with the developers. Yes, I inquired.

Jan,

You can access VAC in BASULM. On the airfield page tap on the DGAC logo in the top right hand corner.

@Patowalker: that's new to me, will check it out. Thanks for a useful reply! Still, it leaves me wanting a quick easy way to plot the rough idea of a potential trip.

@Jonzarno: my sincere sympathy - but I do have some scripting that will (under certain conditions like full moon and/or spring tide) produce a plog in postscript - could come in useful on your thermal wax colour printer, couldn't it? It does, though, rely on a fairly recent version of awk - what's the latest on CP/M?
