VNY overlapping scenery

[robnpat 1]

I am trying to fix the incorrect taxiway signs at Van Nuys, and found a VNY scenery file in the Avsim files, but when I install it, the new taxiway signs show up, but the standard scenery is still there (overlapping). I even got 2 towers now. Any idea on how to 'remove' the standard taxiway signs?

 

Much appreciated.

I personally see nothing wrong. I see no duplicate signs and the directional signs are suppose to be there. Looking good!

 

Best regards,

Jim

Cool someone downloaded my file.

 

As to the scenery overlapping ive got no idea. Do you have another VNY addons installed?

 

For the double tower ... If you've got My traffic X installed you'll see two towers since MTX creates its own .bgl for its traffic. If you don't have MTX I'm not sure what the problem is. Feel free to PM me so I can try to help.

 

edit: I'm definitely not seeing that... those signs don't look stock, they look like another addon. Mine were created with ADEX... Are you sure you don't have another one installed?

 

edit again: OH.... you have Megascenery socal.... I'm willing to bet they've got a quick ADEX update in their scenery. I bet it's a conflict. I don't run MSX, only UTX and GEX. If you unchecked MSX (just for testing) I bet yours would go away and mine would show up.

 

Here's what I see (typical ultra fake bright stock signs lol)

Pic Looks good.

I'll download it today. I live 30 minutes away so I am always looking for nearby airports. Thanks!

Do you know anyone who makes a good KBUR? I'm willing to pay for it. I got the one in AVSIM library but looking for a little more.

No I don't. I was suprised no one made a VNY scenery, I heard a rumor some developer was doing it. It's only the most famous GA airport out there hehe...

 

There's not a lot of socal payware airports. You've got KLAX and LAS from FSDT. And then freeware KONT by Shez and there's a decent freeware KSNA in the file libraries too. Other than that it's just acfad/adex updates like this one.

I'm always on the lookout for a good VNY. Where is your file stashed Ryan??

Hey Rob,

 

I gave you some insight on how to accomplish this on another forum you posted this dilemma in. In any event, what needs to happen is you need to have an exclusion rectangle built into Ryan's scenery (if there isn't one in already). What happens with MegasceneryX is that it generates buildings lumped into one big file called SOCAL_Objects or something of the sort. The trouble is, that if you remove that file, you remove the towers and buildings from all of the other airports in the scenery, which you don't really want to do. What I suggest is that 1.) if you need to, build an exclusion into Ryan's scenery using ADE9x which is very simple to do. Like I said, Ryan may have already done that, and it isn't necessary at all. 2.) Place that .bgl in an area that gets layered higher than MegasceneryX. 3.) Look in your megasceneryX folder and find the KVNY .bgl and rename the extension to .bgx. Now in writing all of this, I'm not sure how much Ryan's scenery changes. I don't know if he includes the default buildings, etc. He can probably elaborate on that more. The other thing, is that as he doesn't use MegasceneryX, the default scenery is likely to be a tad bit off from the photo backdrop. That is just a limitation difference between the default and third party so you may see some texture bleeding underneath. I do think it's awesome that Ryan took on fixing the taxiways as they are in much need, and I think I will go try his product just to see how it meshes in. I tried Bluesky's AFCAD just because it is based on the photoscenery, but those taxiways are still numbered incorrectly as well. Good luck!

All,

 

I downloaded Simple Airport Scanner, and renamed the VNY bgl file from Megascenery. I don't get duplicate taxiway signs, and they are now correct. I still get 2 towers, but no big deal.

 

Thanks for everyone's help.

Please help with the overlapping problem! I really need that help!! I have LGB (my own made check it out on Avsim) and I make a new scenery folder for it. I deleted the KLGB.bgl from mega scenery folder. I then ran FSX and set mega scenery below my LGB airport scenery folder but they still overlap!!! Please help!!

Did you build an exclusion rectangle into your scenery?
