Description
Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport, also known as Tacloban City Airport, is an airport serving the general area of Tacloban, a highly urbanized city in Leyte island in the Philippines. It is the main gateway from Manila and Cebu to Eastern Visayas. It is classified as a Class 1 principal (major domestic) airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, the agency responsible for the operations of all the airports in the Philippines excluding the major international airports. As of 2017, Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport is ranked as the eighth-busiest and the third-fastest growing airport by passenger volume out of the 45 commercial airports in the Philippines.
The airport is named after Daniel Z. Romualdez, a former speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines. It is one of two airports in the Philippines named after a member of the Romualdez family.
On 8 November 2013, the airport was largely destroyed due to the onslaught of Typhoon Haiyan. On 17 January 2015, the airport apron was the site of a large open-air mass held by Pope Francis that attracted nearly half a million pilgrims coming from all over the country to remember the effects of Typhoon Haiyan.
The airport can also handle big aircraft such as the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. In fact, one C-17 from the Royal Australian Air Force made an emergency landing at the airport due to smoke in the cockpit.

Complete for airport mod no0b here.
How do you install this thing? I did not see a folder to add to the community folder when I downloaded it.
Thanks!

Sir/Ma'am, you must manually extract and place the contents of the downloaded file to the community folder using Winzip or WinRAR to either one of these locations depending on where you bought the sim or how you install the sim
For the Windows Store install:
C:\Users\"YOURUSERNAME"\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
For the Steam install:
C:\Users\ "YOURUSERNAME" \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community
Retail Disc:
C:\Users\ "YOURUSERNAME" \AppData\Local\MSFSPackages\Community
Important: Windows 10 by default hides the “AppData” folder, so you will have to go to “View” in the menu of File Explorer, and select “Hidden items” so as to see it.
For the Custom install:
If you've installed the simulator to a custom location, you'll need to navigate there manually. As an example, if you installed the simulator to a folder named "Flight Simulator" on your G:/ drive, the location will be as followed:
G:\Flight Simulator\Community
Hope this solve your problem!! Cheers!
