Memmingens previous codes were (from GCM) QOX/ETSM (was a military airport only few years ago). It started scheduled commercial operations last year. The codes have been changed to FMM/EDJA (from the airports homepage). The in-game three letter code is ZQZ (could not find that one in GCM).

If the code will be changed to the actual one FMM the map will be displayed weird as "KFMM/FMM    Fort Morgan [Muni], CO, US" has the same code :? Unfortunatly IATA uses some codes twice (mainly for smaller airports and if used twice then in different regions of the world).

As more airports we will have in this game questions like this will pop up more often. Can we have a sticky thread about displaying the map and were the weird things come from?

including:
GCM does not use the most recent data.
IATA codes are used twice.
Some airports do not have IATA codes.

Did you really read my post?  :wink: When they change the code the generated map will display Memmingen in the US :lol: (similar to what people saw happen with Madrid Cuatro Vientos)

Sometimes he reminds me of a three-year-old. First you love it to hear the first words kids speak but then get annoyed by there questions:

"Why, mom?"
"Coz!"
"WHY?!?"

 :lol:

So you'd rather see Memmingen displayed in the US than a blank map?

EDIT:
On the other hand: do we have the ICAO's for all airports now? Those are really unique and if the script can be changed to use those it may work then :roll:

See my EDIT in the post above.
