Multiple AFCAD files for one airport?

Featured Replies

Hello Guys,

 

I've just experienced some realy strange things with various add-on airports. For example on EGLC (the Aerosoft/London VFR one) I have AI aircraft parking obviously wrong, and also the GSX vehicles are located in wrong positions which can easily be seen when I take a look at the taxi/parking markings.

On some other airports (especially FSDT's KLAS) I have the default runway textures and taxiway markings shimmering through the add-on textures. I have issues with GSX on these airports as well: The follow-me vehicle drives along the default taxi markings, then the marshaller stands with his back to my aircraft or tries to marshall me somewhere I definitely don't belong to.

I'm using MyTraffic Pro 5.4, so maybe its AFCAD files are too dominant? Nevertheless, I have MyTraffic right above prop objects in the scenery library(where it is set by default).

Another guess is that the installers don't properly deactivate/delete the default AFCAD file for the airport.

I also guess this can be fixed with ADE, but I'm not sure, how to find the corredt file, in order not to delete the add-on's file.

 

I also did some research on Google, it seems some people have pretty much the same problem on some German Airfields, but I couldn't find any proposals for securely fixiging this issue.

 

I appreciate your help

Yes, it'll be MTX's scenery that's the problem, you'll need to remove/rename the MTX scenery files for airports that you've provided updated scenery for. This will probably also require rebuilding the MTX AI routes from the Communicator.

For the specific airports you are having issues with just go into the MyTraffic\Scenery folder and rename the bgl file. For example if its KLAS find the BR2_KLAS.bgl and rename it to BR2_KLAS.bgl.passive

 

I have 2 FSDT airports KJFK and KFLL and aerosofts Stockholm X and have no issues with MyTrafficX.

Hey, thanks for your help.

 

Just to let you know: The culprit isn't MyTraffic. I simply had BlueSkyScenery on top of FSDT's KLAS which interfered with each other and I happened to take the Sat image for the default RW/taxiway markings. Fixed that one.

 

Cheers
