OK, will do. I did research the other field when I first discovered the problem - it's a tiny farm strip somewhere, and I couldn't find any reference whatsoever to it having any right to the EG73 code (or any other code for that matter). I'm suspicious that someone wanted their local strip added and just nicked a code that they thought nobody would care about. It's extremely inadvisable to say the least to allow duplicate codes; it causes the most bizarre and annoying behaviour in FG and I can't imagine it's much better in X-Plane. Even if any country is IRL daft enough to allow such practice, they could be labelled something like EG73A and EG73B in the database. If this is unpalatable, we'll need to look at finding a way for FG to cope with this luncay... Anyone have any idea how X-Plane copes with the same situation?
