For some reason the name of this airport has an X in it, not sure why as it is not a closed airport

Airport Metadata Issue

The airport is not closed, however within xplane, it cannot be brought up when searching using the GPS for the ICAO code. I think it might have something to do with the metadata, but I am not sure.

    That indeed has to do with the scenery's metadata. If an airport is marked as closed (with an prefixed [X]) it indicates X-Plane to show it up visually, only (that is, neither visible on the map nor searchable via GPS/FMS).

    Ah ok, how can this be changed? I've done some scenery updates before, and I'm willing to work on this one, but how would I modify the airport to remove the closed status?

    Basically by removing the prefixed [X] in the airfield name (scenery meta data).
