    Pierre,
    If not caught by moderation, your airport name should not include any identifier. The name is 'Flyway Farm Airstrip' when you go to upload it to the gateway. However, please be sure to put the FAA identifier and any other metadata in the metadata field in WED.
    Regards,

    Hi, I have completed the airport, but the upload to the Gateway fails, "The server returned error Code 404. Unknown airport code 36AK." It was approved: "The request for a new airport code XSG-13770 Done "New Airport Code Request for "36AK Flyway Farm Airstrip"" that you're watching has been approved."

    All the metadata is correct with FAA Identifier 36AK.

    148 0 0 36AK Flyway Farm Airstrip
    1302 city Wasilla
    1302 country USA
    1302 datum_lat 61.3433389
    1302 datum_lon -150.0666306
    1302 faa_code 36AK
    1302 gui_label 3D
    1302 iata_code
    1302 icao_code
    1302 region_code
    1302 state Alaska
    1302 transition_alt
    1302 transition_level

    What do I do wrong?

    Regards

    First, make sure your airport is highlighted in the upper right. Second, remove 36AK from the Airport Name. It looks like it still reads as '36AK Flyway Farm Airstrip'. Third, MAKE SURE you are using the correct newly assigned ID for your airport, which when I looked it up is: XK00A2. Make sure XK00A2 is placed into the Airport ID in WED.

    Regards,

    Thank you very much. The upload was successful. May I ask where did you lookup the Airport ID XK00A2?

    Once your new airport request was approved, it was assigned an "Identifier in X-Plane", Since we do not know what the new identifier is, we need to find the airport by name. On the 'Airports' page and under 'Search airports' you will need to 'Add search criteria...', then select 'Airport name contains...', and search for your new airport. Once found, it will show you the new ID for the Airport ID, which is the same as the Identifier in X-Plane. Hope this helps in the future...
