I think the identifier XLP0055 is highly inconvenient for two reasons: It is too long and not recognized as an airport identifier on a flight plan and prevents a custom scenery for the same airport to exclude it. If at all possible I would recomend LP55, which is the identifier most frequently used by the Portuguese x-planers.
Note that LP0055 is the portuguese AIS attributed code to Cerval airfield. The AIS has attributed 2 letter and 4 digit codes to airfields without an ICAO code for ease of use when filing a flight plan (in real life).
The added X is required by X-Plane.
Under those constraints LP55 would not identify Cerval airfield.

Hi Galileu,
