Why no Area 51 in P3Dv5?

I miss the old Area 51 that FSX had and I was wondering why it doesn't seem to be in P3Dv5?  I don't know about other versions having it as P3Dv5 is my first P3D version.  It doesn't show up when I search for it in the sim, I believe the ICAO code was A51 right?  I am also not finding it in LittleNavmap though I don't recall exactly where it was located in FSX.  I am just wondering why it was removed?  Some top secret reasons I'm guessing? 😉

I would like to add it back if possible, would copying the all files for it from an FSX installation work or no?  If it would work, does anyone know all of the file names for it and where to find them?

I also would like to see if I can get the old FSX mission to work if it is possible, where you fly the Janet 737 to Area 51.

Thanks

Why not reinstall FSX for those sceneries and aircraft not available in later sims? You don’t have to load it down with addons. Just those lacking elsewhere.

Like tamsini said, look for KXTA or Homey Airport.

It's there in p3dv6 and looks decent.

I did have it installed and used it side by side with P3Dv5 for a long time so I could still fly the missions and also fly my old favorite classic FSX aircraft that I own and don't work in P3D but I recently uninstalled it to save some space on my pc.  I am starting to miss it though so I may just end up reinstalling it and making some space for it.

I see, the ICAO was changed, that is why I did not find it.  Thank you guys, I see it in the sim now.
