In LNM2020, Asobo-designed airports would have a yellow ring around them on the map so you know they are nice ones and not auto-generated. However as I'm exploring the new MSFS2024 and LNM2024, I noticed this is no longer the case. For example I pasted a screenshot of LSZB which is a custom airport in MSFS2024, but does not have the yellow ring.

What am I missing here? Thanks!

This does not work with MSFS 2024 because Asobo does not provide the needed information on their SimConnect interface.

aw, huge bummer. that was one of my favorite features as I only fly higher quality airports. i guess I'll start manually marking them as addons.

quick q: can you still automatically mark airports as addons if I have downloaded them and put them into community folder?

I’m working on small desktop app that will get most airports provided consistent folder naming “-ICAO” … BUT, it’ll be Thanksgiving week before I can start working on it.  Not sure if Alex will get to this sooner or not, but I’ll make my work available on GitHub for anyone that wants it.

Currently I do not read the community folder for MSFS 2024. I'm thinking about scanning through the BGL files to collect ICAO airport codes but this will again miss the encrypted ones. Maybe the approach of @SayAgain is better.
