March 21, 201214 yr Maybe it's me, but I'm having issues with the ISD Project's LIRF 2005 scenery. I did the install as described in the enclosed english-version .pdf, activated the rome landclass scenery first, then the LIRF scenery itself, and the scenery appears and looks gorgeous. The trouble is that ILS on 34L and 34R are not available (per the FS9 map view), although they both appear to be there. I even opened up the accompanying AFCAD in ADE and ILS is listed on both of the above runways, but apparently FS9 somehow doesn't "see" them. I did note that the AFCAD seems to contain ILS for all of the applicable LIRF runways, but these also seem present in the ...\scenery folder as separate .bgl files, which strikes me as odd.I'm wondering if there may be something wrong with the only version of the scenery which seems to be available now. The archive was, apparently, originally called "isdproject-lirf2005.zip", but it seems that must have fallen victim to the Avsim crash, nor have I been able to find it under that name anywhere else. What is available is an archive called "isdplirf.zip", which is what I downloaded and installed.I've tried the ISDProject site, which seems to have disappeared. The scenery is gorgeous and I'd love to use it, but I'm not prepared to do without ILS on two of LIRF's main runways. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
March 21, 201214 yr Try this site for all free ware scenery. Scroll down to Rome. May helphttp://www.freewarescenery.com/fs2004/italy.htmlSteve
March 21, 201214 yr Author Steve, just found that site a short while ago, and thanks for the suggestion. At least they had an afcad for the default LIRF scenery which ought to improve the ridiculous default parking arrangements there.
March 22, 201214 yr For certain changes on navaids AFCAD is not able to accommodate what is needed and therefore a separate scenery utility is required. That's why you might have separate runway navaid .bgls.As an example ILS's added in AFCAD will be usable by user aircraft but will not be usable or seen by ai nor show up in the default GPS. The freeware editor ADE when you add an ILS will create in approach view layer a default approach and an ILS that will be used by AI. You can edit these approach segments in ADE as well to match the approach segments on charts adding waypoints as needed. You can also create these waypoints if not already present.Anyway, that may be the reason for the separate .bgl files.Occasionally you may find scenery modifications uploaded by members of the ISD group. Check for those in the afcad section and other sections of the FS9 libraries here.I have the LIRF 2005 files as identified in the readme. The one thing I did not like was swapping an APxxxx default airport tiled group with theirs, sometimes necessary. i do know I changed their af2 file with ADE for some reason but do not recall but I do have the original zip. Copyright prevents me from uploading it.
