KTPA is named "Ignore"-How do you fix this issue

[papab]

This has been asked several times in this forum and there has been no definitive fix provided..

My default is KTPA but is says "Ignore" and it only provides the active runway option
No other scenery programs running (deleted Traffic 360)
Tried saving default using the KTPA listing in the airport list and it still reverts to "Ignore"

How do I delete "Ignore" and still have fly Tampa rebooted with all the parking options?

BTW- "Fly Tampa" is at the top of the scenery listings

Thanks for your help..

Its not normal to see only the "Ignore" labeled entry. Attached a screenshot of how it looks like here after loading KTPA and selecting nearest airports in ATC window. If you don't see KTPA in this list and instead "ignore" I'm not sure why that would be. If you are using special software like Radar Contact I'm even less unsure how that works.

Either way, the safest way to not have the Ignore entry display at all, is to run the KTPA installer again and de-select the "3D Bridge" option.

I am not running any special software Martin...

I will try your suggestion and report back

Is there a big difference between the way the scenery looks by de-selecting the 3D bridge option or not?

[martin[flytampa]]

The only different is the taxiway J bridge where cars driving under, will be flat terrain.

The scenery is still the same awesome quality, no difference except the bridge....
Off to purchase more airports !

Howdy again Martin and gang,

quick question on this subject,

Mine is ONLY listed as ignore in the Pre-Flight Airport list and Current Location "before the flight", during the flight and anytime after that it is listed properly by the ATC as Tampa, so I am just "ignoring" it as it doesn't seem to interfere with the flight, at least not yet.
BUT I have to wonder, why is this only the case now after the latest update of the installer? It never listed like this before even with the 3D bridge selected? or was the 3D bridge not an option before and just a default?

anyways, it's not a deal breaker for my Favorite airport, I was just wondering.

back to flying

This is what I get in the Pre-Flight list when typing KTPA. The only way I get to see "ignore" is if I type "ZTPA. If I type Tampa in either Airprot Name or city fields, I also get the proper KTPA to show up.

I have no idea why you would see Ignore (which is ZTPA) when typing KTPA. Also, what do you mean by latest update? The 2.0->2.1 Update from the downloads page that renumbers runways?

I have excatly the same problem :Mine is ONLY listed as ignore in the Pre-Flight Airport list and Current Location "before the flight! with 2.2 version!

[svfranchini]

I've just purchased the scenery and I have the same problem.
As Jedi928 said, the "ignore" word is only listed under "Current Location" box. Any solution without deselect the "3D Bridge" option?

Sorry it took me awhile (about 8..9 months TBE), I only see it on this screen, this is my default flight.
