the reports on the two airports affected are not very conclusive. Google claims that Aerodrome de Alfes is “closed” - but the satellite picture shows the runway not marked closed. There is no entry for an airport “Astorga” in the XPlane database and there are no findings for an airport “Astorga” on the internet.
Enter the relevant data - and once the airport ID is issued, you can then model the airport and upload it to the Scenery Gateway. You can assign the meta-data-tag “ICAO ID” to this new airport (LEAT), it is independent of the “airport ID” which is just a set of characters (often equal to the ICAO, but not necessarily).
For the old airport with the airport ID LEAT Lleila-Alfes you can also upload new scenery with the correct meta-data-tag for ICAO ID (dont know which ID it has) or change the status accordingly (closed, etc.)
When exporting the scenario again with a new ICAO code, they inform me that LEL3 is not a valid ICAO code. I have downloaded the new version of ED 2.4r1, and when I try to export it with a new ICAO, it indicates the following error: Error: Metadata Key \ 'ICAO Code \' is invalid \ 'LEL3 \' contains numbers when it shouldn \ 't .
I understand that number codes are not supported with the new version. If so, should I leave the "ICAO CODE" field blank? And later do you assign a random ICAO? Thanks for everything!

el codigo ICAO LEAT corresponde al aerodrómo "Astorga"

Buenos dias,
the reports on the two airports affected are not very conclusive. Google claims that Aerodrome de Alfes is “closed” - but the satellite picture shows the runway not marked closed. There is no entry for an airport “Astorga” in the XPlane database and there are no findings for an airport “Astorga” on the internet.
I would therefore not change anything…

Thanks for your reply.
In fact, the "ASTORGA" aerodrome has not yet been created in Xplane, but the LEAT code is assigned to this aerodrome according to ENAIRE's VFR guide developed by the Ministry of Transport of the Government of Spain and updated in 2021. I leave again the link for checking:
https://gateway.x-plane.com/secure/attachment/24811/LEAT.pdf. Its coordinates are 42.505188513805656, -6.02653652175484.
I also include particular pages where the existence of the ASTORGA - LEAT aerodrome can be verified:

Ok, I have reopened the issue and will let Julian decide 🙂

Please file a “New Airport Code request” here: https://gateway.x-plane.com/bug_reports

Thank you. I proceed to the request for the new aerodrome.
