September 1, 201510 yr Is there a map or list of airports in the stock Xplane 10 that have detailed buildings and other objects? http://x-plane.cleverest.eu/

November 22, 201510 yr OK guys. I had a system crash and have had to reload all my X-Plane stuff. I am now up and running with 10.42rc1. There are no buildings at any airport. It has been a long time since I originally set up stuff and this old brain cannot remember what I did to make it populate before. Help please... John John Wingold
November 22, 201510 yr Well, something happened after leaving it for a while. They started showing up. Thanks anyway. John John Wingold
November 24, 201510 yr Regarding the problem of duplicates, version numbers and such for Custom Scenery, I use a spreadsheet. It is a bit time-consuming to maintain, but it works nicely for me. I fly all over the world, often following the 750 airports and airfields from a list of "Dangerous Airports" made by Michael Doherty for FS2004, and I like to search for and install Custom Scenery for my departure and arrival airports. Keeping track of that became a real chore, so I created the spreadsheet. I keep all my downloaded files separated in "Tabs" on the spreadsheet. So for example, all my Library files are on one tab and I can see in an instant which version and date they are. I do the same with Mesh, Aircraft and Plug-ins. For Scenery, I list the ICAO, Airport Name, Country, State (U.S.), original Filename of the download (which makes it easy to find and delete when the filenames are not in ICAO alphabetical order), Version number, and Date of installation. I can then sort by ICAO to find duplicates (I extract all individual ICAO's from Packs), or by installation date if I have errors from recent installations, or by Country, etc. When a "new" Custom airport is listed, I can quickly check to see if it is a "better" version or if I have already installed it. If I do not have a Custom version installed, I then do a web search on the three main X-Plane web sites plus a couple of other online sources to see if there is something available, or something "better" than Gateway which is a viable but last resort. This is not something that would work for the entire X-Plane community because my downloads are not inclusive, just my own list of installations. But the spreadsheet is an excellent way to keep track of and maintain your scenery database. i7-4790K o/c @ 4.8 GHz, Corsair H-110 liquid cooler, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, MSI Maximus VII Hero mobo Samsung Pro 512 GB SSD Corsair GFX Hydro GTX-1080 8 GB, (2) 4TB hybrid HDs Win 10 (1607), X-Plane 10.51r2 and X-Plane 11.01b1
