• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Renaming ICAO identifier

I know in the past this option has not existed, but can the latest ADEX rename the ICAO identifier of the stock airport so that the original is removed? What is the current procedure to do this?

Well it is possible to change the ICAO of an airport in ADE but that will result in a duplicate and not remove the original. You can load the stock airport and delete everything you can find so that nothing is left. In that case your new airport and Ident should appear to replace the stock one. HOWEVER this does not remove the original stock airport from the FS database and it will still show up on the airport list. The only way to actually get rid of it entirely is to hack the stock file and delete the airport physically from that. We don't recommend hacking stock files!
 
As I recall if you remove all radio frequencies it will not appear in the ATC listing, at least.
 
Tom,

That would of course be part of method one above but the airport will still be listed.

Its OK if we cannot remove it, one can live with KYUM and KNYL as both lead to the same airport.

I was reading through the BGL Compiler SDK documentation -- what does the DeleteAirport element do? Will that allow you to remove the original airport from the listing without necessitating modification of the stock airport file?

Short answer is No The DeleteAirport property is a container for a set of delete flags to remove things like runways, approaches and so on. There is nothing to remove the basic airport attributes that include the ident and name.
