The ICAO CYTB currently points to somewhere in northern Canada with the name Koala. CYTB is the ICAO for Tillsonburg Airport in Ontario, Canada. I plan to submit Tillsonburg to the gateway, but the airport name will be wrong in the database. Please update CYTB to be "Tillsonburg". See http://skyvector.com/airport/CYTB/Tillsonburg-Airport for details. Thanks
Is the CYTB in the Gateway in the same location as your Tillsonburg? (That is, does it refer to the same airport, just with the wrong name?)
If the answer is yes, this is an easy fix (just rename the existing ICAO). If the answer is no, then we need to figure out what the airport currently in the Gateway should really be...
To add to the confusion, it seems Tillsonburg is in the database as NQ4. I guess Koala was decommissioned and Tillsonburg got the CYTB ICAO. So in addtion to making CYTB Tillsonburg, please remove NQ4. Thanks
Aha! Okay, it appears the airport Ekati/Koala used to have the ICAO of CYTB, but it has moved to CYOA. The airport Tillsonburg currently has ICAO CYTB.
So, I've moved the Koala airport to its new ICAO, and marked the old Tillsonburg scenery as declined.
_v_, you're clear to upload Tillsonburg scenery whenever you're ready. Thanks so much for your help tracking this down!

No, the CYTB in the gateway points to what appears to be an airport that is no longer there. This site (which is out of date) lists the Koala airport in the Northwest Territories: http://airportguide.com/airport/Canada/Northwest_Territories/Koala-CYTB-YTB/. However, the latest information from Nav Canada and the Tillsonburg airport website itself both show CYTB as belonging to Tillsonburg now. For the latest Canadian Airport Charts please see: http://www.navcanada.ca/EN/products-and-services/Documents/CanadianAirportCharts_Current.pdf which is effective as of Jan 8, 2015 and lists CYTB as Tillsonburg and has no mention of Koala

My apologies. Already in database. Was checking the Xplane gateway in the wrong place.
