December 26, 201114 yr Saba's (the Netherlands island) Juancho E. Yrausquin airport is, on FSX, under the ICAO code of SABA. However Wikipedia says it's TNCS. So, what is it really? I've always wondered this. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 26, 201114 yr ICAO would be TNCS. Saba is the name of the island. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
December 26, 201114 yr Author ICAO would be TNCS. Saba is the name of the island.Duh, ( :() but in FSX the ICAO is SABA instead of TNCS. I know Saba is the name of the island. BTW, did you get my message? i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 26, 201114 yr Author NOAA has it as TNCSJim, on your FSX does it show SABA too or is it just mine? I DO have some add on scenery that changes Saba from the crappy little default FSX to what it looks like in real life. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 26, 201114 yr Not sure and not running FSX right now. It could be that when the FSX data base was frozen the code was SABA and has since been changed in the past 7+ years.
December 26, 201114 yr Author Oh well. Whatever. At least Juancho Yeausquin is correct. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 26, 201114 yr Author Since then I started FSX and yes, it is SABA.Do you have any addon scenery? i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 26, 201114 yr Author Odd. Isn't there an .cfg for each airport that you can maybe change? i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 26, 201114 yr Moderator No. The ICAO is embedded in the compiled .bgl file(s). Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
December 27, 201114 yr And for that matter, Diego, I noticed that years ago. It's simply an incorrect identifier in FSX (and FS9). Look hard and you'll find plenty of inconsistencies to the real world!I just failed to mention it because I was lazy. Sorry. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules

December 27, 201114 yr Hi Diego,If you are really bent on changing this ICAO Identifier (like I was for a couple airports ILS freq e.g. Brize-Norton)...You might try a program called SDE Test Application by ScruffyDuck Software. You will need to have the FSX SDK installed as SDE uses BglComp from there to compile from .xml back to .bgl.Unlike modifying the ILS frequencies... I have no idea if this will work... just a suggestion.As always when doing file mods... backup the original first. :(
