Post subject:  Added airport - cannot be alternate?

Hello again. I have been flying in Japan. Mt. Fuji Shizuoka (RJNS) is a new airport that was not included in FSX. I added it with an add-on scenery. For your reference the scenery (for FSX) can be found there:

https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=141094

It seems to work well with PF3 when I am flying to and from that airport. However if I try to select it as an alternate airport for a flight not involving it, I get told by PF3 that the airport doesn't exist. It turns out that runways.csv does not have that airport ICAO, even when I enable it in the scenery library and re-run the PF3 database update. Is this a known issue of PF3? Is there any way to make that airport an alternate? Add a manual entry to runways.csv?

Attached is a log file just in case since the PF3 flight did not start until I ended up choosing a different airport as an alternate. Thank you!

And you ran makerwys too? If you did and it's not in the runways.csv file you really need to report to Pete Dowson on his support forum.

Good news. It seems I need to fully enable the airport in FSX. Simply having it in my Add-On library and checking and saving it in the FSX Config Editor are not enough - I thought only the first step was necessary. I need to also run FSX so the sim recognizes it, then quit it and run MakeRwy. I am all set now. :-) Thank you for the support.
