Airport Addon Color

[dresoccer4 118]

Hello! I installed an airport upgrade addon and updated the LNM databse, however LNM is not changing the airport color to yellow circle like normal. Anyone know why this would happen? Link to addon attached

guadeloupe TFFR » Microsoft Flight Simulator

Thanks for the link. This helps a lot.

LNM bug triggered by a workaround for MSFS. 😞

Some time ago I added a workaround to weed out the numerous fake airports MSFS added for POIs🙄. These consisted only of aprons and are ignored in LNM now.
TFFR is now detected wrongly as a fake POI airport and ignored which should not be the case if a stock airport is updated.

Will fix for the next LNM version but this won't be released soon, sorry.

hi ablar, thanks for the quick and detailed response. Thanks for being honest about the next version not being released soon. Is there any sort of workaround I can do in the meantime, like manually changing the airport color somehow so I can quickly just glance around and know it's a custom one?

The only workaround I can think of is adding a userpoint for each add-on airport. Right click on an airport and select "Add userpoint for ...". All fields are prefilled with airport information. Not perfect but a workaround.

that turned the airport black and still stays visible even when zooming out so i'll be able to quickly glance at the map and know it's a custom airport. win win!
