3 digit ICAO airports

[Jeff]

I'm trying to add an airport, but every time I try, I get a message stating that I need to insert the 4-digit ICAO code. How do you add an airport with a 3-digit ICAO code? Is it needed to be entered manually instead?

EXAMPLE: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FIV428/history/20111104/2030Z/KMKC/T82

By the way, I am on the standard Version 2.1.934 Build.

You can enter it through phpMyAdmin or the command line, whichever you prefer. I haven't tried to add a 3-digit ICAO through the admin center.

I had that problem when I first started. 80% of my airports are only 3 digest. Here is how I do it. In phpVMS admin ad the airport as normal. Than go to airnav.com and look up the airport and manually add the airport name, coordinates, ets.

Thanks Eddie. I figured that would be the way to do it. Maybe this can be something Nabeel can tackle on his next update.

There is an airport SQL file floating around the forum somewhere, containing all airports in FSX. I imported it, but I actually cut all 3-digit airports to alleviate pressure on the database at my last host. I haven't gotten around to uploading it again now we're on fivedev. That should save you a bunch of time if you can find it.

Does anyone have this file???
