The artist FlynBrian has submitted two apparently identical airports to the Gateway. The original 98036 CYVT Buffalo Narrows was updated and approved August 2023.
The artist requested and was approved for a new airport identifier to submit this scenery package.
Why did the artist not simply updated the already existing scenery package? Why did a moderator approve a brand new airport ID for an already existing airport?
Hey Julian, unfortunately there's been some confusion which has led to XC00BM ([H] Buffalo Narrows (Fire Centre)) being deprecated. The Buffalo Narrows (Fire Centre) heliport still exists, and is separate to CYVT (Buffalo Narrows Airport).
XC00BM is no longer deprecated. Cannot unrecommend XC00BM / submission 101475 because it is the only submission. Please submit a revised version if applicable.

[H] Buffalo Narrows (Fire Centre) (CBN3) and [H] Buffalo Narrows (Heli) (CJC9) are two different heliports: https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports/CJC9/show
Also, I forgot to include [H] before the heliport's name.
Thanks again!
This airport seems to already exist on the Gateway was CYVT Buffalo Narrows.

The airport request I made is for [H] Buffalo Narrows (Fire Centre), which is a heliport just South East of CYVT Buffalo Narrows.

Hope this helps.

But you included the ENTIRE Buffalo Narrows airport, not just the fire centre!
This will cause graphic anomalies when displaying both airports in the sim and consuming redundant CPU/GPU resources.
You could simply include the helipad for the fire centre.

Without the rest of Buffalo Narrows airport.

XC00BM deprecated.

Unfortunately, FlynBrian created and uploaded CYVT Buffalo Narrows to XC00BM (https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports/XC00BM/show) by mistake. I didn't create this 3D scenery.
I submitted the [H] Buffalo Narrows (Fire Centre) airport request to the Gateway, since CBN3 is a different entity to CYVT.

If Julian's still following this issue, removing the deprecation would be the correct thing I feel.
Hopefully that clears up some confusion.
To be fair, CBN3 exists as a heliport.
I would suggest to the artist to submit JUST the heliport to the gateway instead of the entire airport.
Depreciation of XC00BM might not be helpful in this instance.

FlynBrian's scenery for XC00BM would need to be removed from recommendation as well, since it conflicts with CYVT (https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports/CYVT/show).

Thanks, Julian.
Unfortunately, the scenery submitted to XC00BM is for CYVT (Buffalo Narrows Airport), not CBN3 ([H] Buffalo Narrows (Fire Centre)).
New scenery will need to be created and submitted, since submission 101475 (https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports/XC00BM/show) conflicts with submission 98036 on the gateway (https://gateway.x-plane.com/airports/CYVT/show).
