Public access to adding airports has been discontinued. Thank you all for your help.
Edit: I just came across a great source for passenger information for US airports: http://www.transtats.bts.gov/Data_Elements.aspx?Data=1
I've completed the form that allows you guys to add airports directly into the game database. I was leery about allowing public access to it, but in the end I decided that's the most collaborative way of doing it. I have complete confidence in the security of the site, nobody should be able to screw anything up too badly lol. But do let me know if you come across something that you think was not intended.
The form has validation integrated into it so it should catch most things like numeric requirements and duplicate airports. Mainly just do not use commas or other thousands separators (with the exception of latitude/longitude of course, those need to be in decimal format). When we used the google form some people would put a decimal as the thousands separator, which resulted in ~ 400 airports that I need to correct now because the game shows the runway length as 10.000 feet (10) rather than 10000 ft. Be careful to be as accurate as possible, because bad data is just as good as no data at all.
The page also has a link to the map so you can see airports once you add them. I am also working on an edit page for the airports, so if you find an airport that has incorrect info, you will be able to edit it. Hopefully that will be up later this week.
I'm also working on the same type of thing for adding aircraft, just give me a few days.
Let me know if you have any questions.
