New user of ADE: need help with duplicate airport BGL file

Featured Replies

Hi,

I just finish modifying a local airport near my home place (CYND Gatineau, Canada) and I saved the modified BLG in my addon scenery file structure. In doing this I realized that in the “My Traffic” folder, which was created by My Traffic 2010, I also had a BLG file for the same airport. So I ran FX airport scanner just to find out that I had a lot of replication of BGL files between My Traffic and my addon library.

 

The scanner tool allows me to remove one of the duplicate file, so my question is: Should I remove all of the duplicate BGL files in the My Traffic or it doesn’t matter?

 

Thanks for the help

 

Pierre

Make sure FSX is not running. Go to the My Traffic Scenery Folder and rename any Bgl files that you think are duplication to an extension that is not Bgl. I tend to add .dnu to the end of files to temporarily disable them. So xxxx.bgl becomes xxxx.bgl.dnu. I use dnu bacause it says 'do not use' to me. Now start FSX and check out your airports. I think a major issue is that the My Traffic Scenery will be at a higher priority than Addon Scenery so anything in My Traffic will overwrite or exclude what is in your Bgl file. FSX Airport Scanner 'deletes' are done in a similar way if I recall and just rename the file. I am suggesting manual rename to give you more control.
