Windsock in taxiway

Featured Replies

Following my succesful deletion of taxiway signs in FSX (Taxiway signs theme) I now find that I have a windsock in the middle of a taxiway. This would seem to be from the stock airport in FS9 (EGPH). Is there anyway of deleting this object ?

I have done as you suggested, followed all the instructions (to a T?) installed MSXML and ran the utility (With FS9 running stock airport). It created a XML file<?xml version="1.0"?><FSData version = "9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" > <ExclusionRectangle latitudeMinimum = "55,9538095892808" latitudeMaximum = "55,9537228231669" longitudeMinimum = "-3,35643435726094" longitudeMaximum = "-3,35643849484108" excludeWindsockObjects = "TRUE" /></FSData>but no .bgl file. Any help on this ?

Hi Kehoshi,The program you are using uses decimal commas "," instead op full stops ".". These are also visible in the XML data you supplied above.So, when you have selected the four geographical "FSC" points and before you "Save source and generate.bgl" you must change the four decimal commas into decimal full stops. That should solve your problem.Also, do not forget to point your aircraft or whatever other pointing device you are using, to due North (360 degrees) before pressing any of the four FSC buttons.Good luck.Hans
