January 21, 20251 yr Author Ray, I treated myself to the WS version of VHHH and have removed the Taxi2Gate one. I installed it to my main sim directory (Lockheed Martin) and added the patch but it is not working. If I position a plane on 07L, it is on the old runway still and not the new one. Any ideas on what is wrong. Does the installation need to be somewhere special? Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.

January 22, 20251 yr Author Thanks Ray, After the 3rd attempt, I now have it just about working. Is it correct that the new 07 left runway is not built yet? I just have an area full of cranes and unbuilt land. Runways 07R and the Centre one are there. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.

January 22, 20251 yr Moderator @IanHarrison I have 07L/25R runway complete but between that runway and 07C/25C there are many cranes and waste land. Looking at Google Earth Pro map shows that area is still undeveloped. New terminal buildings are yet to be built so the scenery replicates the real world. The GE image does show an aircraft taxiing off 07L so the runway is in use. Ray (Cheshire, England).

January 22, 20251 yr Author That's odd. My Airport only shows a sandy area, no blacktop runway or markings of any kind for 07L/25R. I will have a look at the files to see if there are any "foreigners" causing problems. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM. Z170x Gigabyte m/b. 28" LG HD monitor.

I am confused where you are at ???? for now, cheers john martin

After a further delete and re-install, (without the patch),I now have Runways at the old positions (with new names) and a building site with an unfinished runway on the new island.

Is that how it should be? If you have three operational runways, plenty of cranes and wasteland between the centre and north runway that sounds the same as mine. 👍 Ray (Cheshire, England).

Is that how it should be? It's not that difficult. Just install the WFSS_VHHH-V1.1_P3D.exe and then unpack WFSS__VHHH_V1.2_patch.zip. The paths are given in the zip. I have the Simmarket folder outside of the sim, so that could give you some extra work. I had installed different patches and this produced some redundant files I think. I recommend to uninstall, remove all VHHH files and install new. Today I did this and have all three runways available. The third runway is sourrounded by brown earth and construction cranes. The terminals are not there yet.

January 23, 20251 yr Author Thanks for all the advice. As I understand everybody, you have 3 tarmac/Concrete runways with taxi markings My current position as of today (with no patch) is that there are only 2 working runways and the "new" one is just an earth base with no tarmac or markings or taxiways. Just vague outlines of where they should/will be. It obviously needs the patch, so will try again. Edited January 23, 20251 yr by IanHarrison clarification Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM.

My apologies for earlier saying the patch (V1.2) was included in the recent simMarket download .... which was proposed by WFS after the patch was realised 2022 for the short term whilst simMarket adjusted the installer. It seems that has not happened ?? So yes install the patch, but make sure it is in that same folder where you installed v1.1 .... apart from the lua script which you either copy to the sim's script folder or it is noted in any addon.xml you may have for 1.1's folder. Edited January 24, 20251 yr by vadriver for now, cheers john martin
January 24, 20251 yr Author OK I have done that and I now have a building site and a base where a runway will be built. But I do not have three operational runways as others mention.

January 25, 20251 yr Ian Do you have an afcad file in VHHH's scenery folder with the 3 runways / connecting taxiways ..... VHHH_P5 or P4.bgl ? for now, cheers john martin
