Automated airport update function

Currently the automated airport update function does not appear to be working properly. If you are a customer who has this setup, documented here, you will need to temporarily revert to running the update manually. The steps for that process are outlined here.

We have the FOS Development team engaged on this for a prompt solution and will update this post as information is known.
