Sleepless in Seattle

So let me explain why N17WAC is at 2WA1 this morning. I fly using real world charts for the US and Canada. I set up to take some WAC passengers from 0S7 to WA68 this morning. I'm fairly new to WAC and even newer to the Washington area. My chart said that WA68 was a little beach strip 2nm nw of 0S9. So I flew there. Only to shut down my engine, tune into FS Economy, and receive the message, "Welcome to 2WA1".

Sigh.

That's the problem with the old FS 2009 airport database, used by FSE.
The airport at Vantage is abandoned for quite some time, and so the identifier has been assigned to a new airport.

You're about 35 nm from Frontier Airpark (WN53). If there are some free seats left in your plane, you'll find assignments from WN53 to WA68 (Vantage) in the WAC and WAE group assignments.
