April 29, 20197 yr Hi I have just bought the Cairo Airport (https://secure.simmarket.com/armi-project-cairo-international-airport-heca-fsx.phtml), but there is no way I can get it to work. ground level of the airport is different to the surrounding area (none of that area seems to be level). Also, the 05L runway seems the disappear when you get very close to the runway. Is there a fix for this? Thanks, Gaz How does Moses make his coffee? Hebrews it. I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, that made him more sluggish. Gaz on Facebook
April 29, 20197 yr That Armi scenery is listed on Simmarket as FSX only. The SDG version of HECA works well in P3Dv4. The way I fix FSX sceneries with the sorts of issues you describe is with ADE, where I'd start by placing an airport flatten poly underneath and then tweaking the airport elevation if needed.

That is for P3D but not up to date for the current layout. If you have elevation issues look to any altitude or afcad files like Vector not being disabled.

There is a link to a P3Dv4-compatible installer on the products page of the SDG website...it installed without issue and does work in P3Dv4.4 The airfield layout looks reasonably current...all runways, taxiways, and approach navaids in the scenery are still there IRL, but the scenery does pre-date the addition of terminal 2, and the parking layout on the international ramps has changed since the V2 scenery was published.

Regards The absence of T2 does annoy me, because, unless I'm mistaken, looking at the photoreal coverage that's present int his package, T2 already existed at the time this scenery was published. Not sure why SDG didn't build it, but it's a shame. That said, I wrote SDG a few weeks ago to ask if they would ever update HECA to add T2. They responded that they were still working on Bahrain, but that they would work on an update to HECA to add T2. They didn't say when, however. Pertsonally I have Armi's HECA and while it has some issues, I like it and it works reasonably well in P3Dv4. I believe it's overall a more detailed representation than what SDG provided.

April 30, 20197 yr Yeah, I have in my ops notes that HECA works best at night because of that underwhelming low-res photoscenery background. Have never seen the ARMI version, but since I don't buy FSX-only sceneries any more, it's no longer an option anyway. Usually, if I'm going to/from this region I use HESH or LLBG.

The GA parking on the east side is all unconnected to the taxi nodes.

May 1, 20197 yr Author With or without there being a decent product here, it is terrible to install. Thanks to advice on this thread, I got a link helping how to get a version on upgrading my reference number. It sounded good, so I installed it and re-ran the original install (a later version needed to be paid for - but i've already paid simMarket). It seemed to re-run when I followed the instructions, but then I got the error in the screenshot here, so I'm still no no closer to fixing the problem: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uDEsn9cA3xzStHj96 Do I need to be a Windows expert to install something I have bought?

May 1, 20197 yr Did you run the installer as Administrator? Looks like it's aborting due to a file system permission error in one of the default P3D directories.
