October 3, 200916 yr Hi all,I am trying to replace an existing airport (EGDC) using FS9.I use XML file and BLGCOMP.The new airport is on 26 m altitude (just for testing, to be sure i dont have any flickering problems)The runways are shown at 26 m alt, but the aprons are on alt. of original airport (8,23 m)I can not set the altitude of the aprons in the xml file.The only way is to remove the original AP946130.BGL fileRudi
October 3, 200916 yr make a copy of your xml file, keeping just the airport element info including the modified elevation (still inside the fsdata wrappers of course), compile it and place in scenery\world\scenery. If you are going to later replace your addon back to default elevation, don't forget to remove this file.You xml should look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd"> <Airport country="United States" state="Montana" city="Kalispell" name="Mower Field" lat="48.220793568" lon="-114.375966936" alt="934.0M" magvar="-18" ident="MT84" > </Airport></FSData> scott s..
October 4, 200916 yr Hmm... I am sure it is not the case here, but we have already seen numerous instances of confusion concerning units of altitude. Sometimes, people think they are seeing altitude in meters when the unit is feet.For example, 8.23 meters is almost exactly, or at least very close to, 26 feet (in fact, it is 27 feet.)So, one should always check carefully all sources in order to avoid any possible confusion.Best regards.Luis Hot, humid Caribbean paradise!
