Missing/Incorrect runway coordinates at VHHH

The new thrid runway opened on 8 July and seems like it is missing in the database. I am not able to upload my scenery just because the new 07L/25R is not in the database and the system misunderstand the new 07L/25R as the old one which is now the 07C/25C.

    Missing runway coordinates are NEVER an WED bug.
    This data comes from the scenery gateway - to ensure sceneries submitted are compatible with the existing xplane scenery.
    Existing x-plane scenery does not have the new land where this runway is located - so this runway would be in the water - which is obviously not ‘compatible’. So this land will be in the global scenery in xplane 12 at the earliest.

    Additionally, the policy for runways (or whole airports) to be accepted on the gateway is that these runways must be officially opened and listed in the navdata that Laminar includes in xplane. So it might take a few more moths even after official opening until that happens.
