SUMU Montevideo LatinVFR(FSX) in P3DV4.5 ?

Featured Replies

Hi

I am on a roundtrip in South America...

I brought the missing Airports SUMU Montevideo (LatinVFR) and SGAS Asuncion (Taxi2Gate).

I know they are only for FSX but often the old FSX Airports are working with minor issues in P3DV4 and they are much better then the default airports.

SGAS Asuncion (Taxi2Gate) works fine, but SUMU Montevideo (LatinVFR) has serious problems with the runways and Taxiways.

I use P3D4.5 ORBX LC SA, Base, Vector, Simstarter NG, Pilots Mesh 2020.

I assume they are multiple factors working together or may be against each other.

I see in SimstarterNG the .bgl files of an Airport and often it helps to deactivate the default Airport, or the ORBX Vector Airport (.bgl to .off) 

I did some research at youtube and some simmers seem to mange to run Latin VFR SUMU in P3DV4.

Here ist the Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgt8lWbjzqY (around 30 min you see the LatinVFR Airport Building) 

Do you have a workaround for me? 

Thanks 

Erik

I did try to get it working, and it is a mixed bag. It's a while ago since I last looked at it, but from what I remember I ended up deactivating it again. Some parts of the ground poly weren't showing up properly and there were some elevation issues. Something along the lines of the problems with LatinVFR MDSD, which i also gave up on.

Hi

Because I saw 3 Youtube videos were, the LatinVFR SUMU airport worked in P3DV4.5, I tried a lot of things "forward and backward" and finally it worked out!
 

 I deactivated the default Airport (0405/scenery/Apx33440.bgl) and the the 3 ORBX Vector SUMU Airport Files (.bgl to .off). 
So only LatinVFR SUMU Airport bgl. file is active. 

Then I run the AEC tool in the ORBX Vector Settings.

At last I copied the LatinVFR SUMU Texture files in the P3D/Scenery/Texture folder, but I have no idea if that has any effect at all. 

Than it worked, I did a quick test flight on a PMDG 737 Ngxu, Start at RWY 06 and landing ILS RWY 19 - no crashes 

Thanks 
Erik
