CDG is their biggest European hub right?

After further research, I think you're right here...saw a recent article that says FedEx is moving to a dual-hub operation in the EU as part of their buyout of/integration with TNT, with LFPG (Paris de Gaulle) serving as their primary Euro hub (similar to KMEM in the US) and EBLG (Liege) as the secondary (similar to KIND in the US).  FedEx's EDDK operation is pretty big, though, with DHL and UPS also colocated there.  Maybe a crossover hub?

Back to topic, I had an enjoyable overwater leg yesterday from KIND to EDDK.  The T2G Indianapolis scenery is quite nice once the boogered-up excludes are dealt with.

Would you suggest I should wait for an update before I buy it ?

I thought CDG had a ton of FDX traffic....

For those like me that can't wait,  how do we fix it with ADE?

Open KIND_AF.bgl in ADE.
Select Tools -> Remove Stock Data (this removes any old excludes of FSX/P3D1-4 stock objects)
Select Tools -> Load Stock Data, tick the boxes for Scenery Objects and Taxi Signs, then Import (this brings in all the default buildings and taxi signs)
Select Lists -> Scenery Objects and mass-select all objects where the value of "Is Stock" is True, then delete (this deletes the stock objects and creates micro-excludes for each one of them)
Select Lists -> Taxi Signs and mass-select all the signs where the value of "Is Stock" is True, then delete

And while you have the file open in ADE, change the gate number of gate_B 26 to Gate_B 15 so it matches the scenery and SODE definitions.

Save the airport (File -> Save Airport)
Compile the airport (File -> Compile Airport)
rename KIND_AF.bgl to KIND_AF.bgl.OFF
Place the ADE file you created in the same folder as KIND_AF.bgl.OFF

 

Yes, that's the exact procedure I did with their LFPG that also has default objects popping up in some areas

Thank you so much for this! For a former US Navy guy, I love directions like this in checklist type format.

Finally, my local airport. Purchased, can’t wait to replicate my favorite annual real world flight later - Indy to Fly Tampa Vegas. The only question is whether to fly my old favorite, the NGXu in Southwest livery, or my newly acquired FS Labs A320 in Spirit colors…

One issue I noticed is that the 3D grass is so tall it obstructs many of the taxiway signs. Anybody else?

It does look a little tall to me as well

That's the problem I have with my neighbor in the summertime.😏

I guess I'll get this and the 777 this weekend. $100 not too bad. I'm hoping the fix by @w6kd is pretty straight forward.as I'd like to learn more about ADE.

 

Re FDX: Hadn't heard about BQN, but I know there is a lot going to CDG.

I think I may have to re-install the Taxiways are green and the Cargo apron looks naff, but performance is good.

I hadn’t used ADE before, but had no issues using it; the fix and instructions were indeed straightforward and well greatly appreciated.

Do you have to install the P3D SDK to use it? I couldn't get it to work.

I believe so yes

Yes...ADE uses the bgl compiler and shape-to-vector generator that are part of the P3D SDK.

Trust me, you really want to get to know how to use this utility--it is truly a programmatic Swiss Army Knife for P3D scenery.
