Vnukovo (UUWW) question please

[calypso 32]

I just re-installed my Vnukovo (UUWW) scenery and I am getting what looks like helicopter pads on all my parking areas,

Any idea what texture is responsible and how I can remove them?

Thank you.

Many Russian sceneries over-write the default helicopter parking pads with what you see there, which represent (reasonably accurately) aircraft parking locations as they are at Russian airports.

 

If you reinstate the original files you will get proper default helicopter pads with great big white crosses etc.all over this airport.

 

But of course modifying default files to make some airports look more real can mess up others up completely.

Hi,

 

just out of interest - which UUWW scenery is that? And if you write "all my parking areas" - do you mean at any airport?

 

I can only suggest to install complex scenery add-ons in a sandbox first. You will be able to check which stock files are changed and to avoid unwanted modifications.

Thanks.

 

It is just the UUWW scenery that presents this problem.

 

I had loaded the scenery manually so I'm sure no default textures were overwritten.

 

it is a rather old version of UUWW. For some reason, the newer versions would not load in properly.

 

I'm running Windows 8, by the way, and have loaded numerous complex scenery without any problem.

Well, I gave up in the end.

 

I managed to find a much more detailed UUWW VNUKOVO (Moscow) Aeroflot hub however.

 

Easy manual install and works well.

 

Thank you for your help.

Thankyou John, that looks quite nice. I'll check it out when I get back.

 

Good to see you are still around..... I am currently driving a Fiat 500 albeit not the original version. :smile:

[calypso 32]

I can't believe I joined this forum 13 years ago!

 

Good to see you too. Still a few of the old gang here.

 

My new avatar shows me with my old 500 (1973). The photo is recent as I had an unexpected visit from the present owner (I sold it to him in 2006).

 

He just turned up to show me it was still going strong and practically unchanged. Good to know.

 

I like the new models very much and was thinking of getting the air-cool engine model.

 

Anyway, nice chatting and take care,

John

Hi John,

 

your new UUWW scenery is the one I would have suggested to you. Glad you like it. However, while the quality of the scenery is out of question (some afcad adjustions needed to get aircraft of Rossiya State Company in front of Vnukovo-2 though), one can debate about the architecture for sure.

 

Nice car by the way. I'm thinking of getting another Fiat derivate from its country of origin, a Lada 1500 or 1600...

 

Cheers,

Harald

That looks rather good, thank you for the link John.

Your assortment of AI nicely complements the shot, too!

 

Harald, are you able to share your insights into the AFD changes?

I rather like the architecture

Harald, are you able to share your insights into the AFD changes?

 

Of course, when I'm home in the (european) evening.

This is a slightly revised (with ADE) afcad file containing some more parking ramps in front of Vnukovo-2. It's initially thought to give parking space for Rossiya State Company planes, but sometimes other planes park there, too.

I've been away so will install tonight for a look.

Many thanks Harald.

... and having done so, I see I have plenty of AI for the Russian oligarchs

 

 

...but a singleton airliner from Redwings!

 

 

I need to brush up my Russian.

What's a good source other than WOAI which I have, and RATS which is dead?

[calypso 32]

My old Adobe Traffic Pack does a good job here.

Never had it... searching these forums leads to a s**t storm regarding copyright.

I'm not going there!

I'm sure the Russian AI chappies have addressed this though.
