PKSIM SKBO AFCAD OR AFX

Featured Replies

Hi everyone, last week I bought the PKSIM SKBO, overall a great airport. My problem is that when I opened GSX it didn't recognized it as an airport, and also when I was looking for the AFCAD to change airline parkings, I couldn't find it anywhere, I uninstalled it, downloaded the newest installer, but I still can find the AFCAD, tried to install it on another PC, but still. (I have P3D V4.5 btw), I contacted the support email of PKSIM but no answer in more than a week. So if anyone could please help me to locate the AFCAD  I would really appreciate, Thanks!

So then can you tell me if the AFCAD file has another name or location with this addon? It's a really expensive addon for not being able to use it properly.

Nope, I don't have P3d or that airport!

@Tomas P, if this is the airport you have bought the summary states “GSX Ready”. https://secure.simmarket.com/pksim-bogota-skbo.phtml

I notice there are two recent reviews that mention aircraft inside buildings. That suggests problems have not been fixed.

Your contract is with SimMarket. If you’ve written to the support address and not received an answer you can request a refund if that is what you wish. The product does not match the description given of it.

For GSX compatibility run PKSIM Bogota P3Dv4-Configuration.exe , "normally" located at : Libraries-Documents-Prepar3D v4 Add-ons- PKSIM BOGOTA.

You may have two SKBO afcads on your sim. Check for files names *SKBO*.bgl. I use "Everything" file searcher. When you customize airport positions, you will see which file it loads. I still have the old Virtualcol scenery, but also got parked into a building. Checking with Cuoatl showed me I have MAIW scenery there SKBO_ADEP4_MAIW.bgl. So this file has to be disabled to make at least on my side, to make it work correctly.

Be aware lots of airports also have a CVX and OBJ file. These need to be disabled too.

My SKBO_ADEP4_ADE.bgl is in C:\Users\XXXXXX\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\PKSIM-Bogota\data\scenery.

Hope that helps...

Hi, are you able to open that file with Airport Design Editor, cause when I try it says "Failed to decompile the BGL"

Hi, the problem here is that I have none(AFCADS). I had once the virtualcol one but after upgrading my pc I just installed the PKSIM one, and I can't find it's AFCAD.

Opens just fine with ADE v1.79 here, in both P3Dv4 and P3Dv5 modes.

It installs into the "Prepar3D v5 Addons" directory

X:\Users\NAME\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\PKSIM-Bogota\data\scenery

The name of the AFCAD is SKBO_ADEP4_ADE.bgl

But there´s no need to modify it. It works perfectly, if you make sure there is no other SKBO. I wrote you how to find others before.
