a string of numbers for airport identifiers

Featured Replies

Hi,I fly mostly in the Bahamas & Caribbean areas with AFX. I note that WX reports for nearby airports (both over 122.0 and in METAR text on the AFX WX gauge) are announced not with the ICAO airport identifier but with a string of numbers (4 or 5 numbers, I can't recall, exactly). To clarify, I am not talking about airports that have numbers as part of their ICAO identifier; the numbers are given instead of the actual identifier. Is this a result of an error in reading the airports file in FSX? Could you suggest a work-around?Doug
