Disassembling old FS98 BGL?

Featured Replies

Hi Gary. Thanks. There are the two top files at Simviation:

They add the pillars but also add the extra buildings in the water if combined with Toni's scenery and the default LPMA. Regards, Bob.

 

Hi Bob:

 

The single greatest complication to usability for the Toni Agramont "MadeiraX" scenery package is incompatibility of the conditional display code in the SCASM BGLs which promptly drops FSX run time FPS into the single digits.

 

The "The Most Dangerous Airports: Madeira" scenery package by 'Robbie Albers' appears identical to the Toni Agramont "MadeiraX" core scenery package aside from the mission content (which is not active in normal FSX free flight mode).

 

The complication to usability for the "Madeira Aiport Scenery Package" by 'Scenery Dude' is incompatibility of the custom photo-real imagery land class BGL with the underlying FSX default terrain mesh.

 

 

 

Although no "hybrid" of these (3) sceneries yields an ideal result, the lesser of the evils might be:

 

1.) Do not use the Toni Agramont "MadeiraX" scenery package in FSX

 

2.) Do not use the Toni Agramont "MadeiraX" / 'Robbie Albers' "The Most Dangerous Airports: Madeira" scenery package in FSX (it is essentially the same package)

 

3.) Use the Madeira Aiport Scenery Package by "Scenery Dude" without the "Portisland.bgl" photo-real imagery enabled (it is not aligned with FSX default shoreline / water / terrain mesh)

 

NOTE: Be sure "FSX SCENERY MODELS" by 'Scenery Dude' is also separately added to the FSX scenery library and set 'Active'

 

 

4.) Be sure no other 3rd party add-ons affecting the LPMA area are active in FSX

 

5,) Check that no default FSX files for Madeira Island area have been disabled / modified / substituted within this folder ex:

 

[FSX install path]\Scenery\0502\scenery\APX43200.bgl

 

[FSX install path]\Scenery\0502\scenery\cvx4320.bgl

 

[FSX install path]\Scenery\0502\scenery\OBX43200.bgl

 

 

6.) Place your own fully FSX compatible scenery object content using ADEX and/or Instant Scenery using this visual guide to available objects:

FYI: Western Mediterranean types of place-able buildings can be found listed ...beginning here:

 

http://lc0277.gratis...gen/index3.html

 

 

Airport ramp lights can be found here:

7.) Continue modifying your "edited copy" of the default FSX LPMA airport in ADEX as you have been doing.

 

 

Hope these ideas help ! :smile:
