5W8 (Siler City Muni) should now be called KSCR (not sure how XP11 process handles airport name changes)
I'm not 100% certain, but this is my theory :: I can find KSCR in many of the XP11 dat files, and in the latest AIRAC from navigraph, but since the gateway still shows it as 5W8, the customScenery/globalAirports still has it as 5W8, replacing the updated entries for the new KSCR name.
I do have the latest AIRAC, but it doesn't help, again, I think, because globalAirport is taking precedence.

As best I can find, FAA referred to it as 5W8 through at least 2013 (cardinal-air website was also from 2013 according to copyright on bottom of their page).
But that field is now referred to as SCR/KSCR, which has current landing procedures(RNAV) data which we can't access in x-plane because the nav data still lists it as 5W8.

For Jennifer to deprecate 5W8 in favor of KSCR.
