Possible you don´t understand it … we can´t solve it. Therefore again (yes again) …
It is correct that XP uses us as service provider for the navdata updates but these updates doesn´t include any airport nor runway updates, which is a part of the APT.DAT file in XPlane (this is what you see in my previous screenshot). This file will be provided by Laminar Research (XPlane) and NOT!! by us.
So in other words, when somewhere in the world a new airport will be open/closed, an ICAO change will be happen, a runway will be removed, added, changed … than this must be added by X-Plane because we don´t offer these data to X-Plane. The APT.DAT file is necessary for the XP scenery and as I wrote in my comment before, it will be used by some addons as reference if the airport exist or not, or if a runway exists or not.
We are offering ONLY following information:
Navaids (VORs, NDBs, ILS, …), Airways, Waypoints, and terminal procedures but NO!! airport specific data like airports, runways, taxiways, gates or similar else. This will be updated by Laminar Research XP.
When you don´t believe me, look on their developer side and read it carefully.
Here the important part:
No word about airports or runways … therefore please stop blaming us, for what, what we can´t fix and what we don´t offer.
Last, when you look in the X-Plane bug-reports you will find this ticket from April 15th 2021:
Cheers,
