No, i mean all it takes is a little imagination that youre landing on one of those triangles or the center of the apron. Otherwise i like to land on the primary and secondary helipads.

in time i have stuff to do but will

That's what I will do. I have so much to explore. Oh and is that last line referring to AVSIM uploads? Sometimes I don't know whether a response is mentioning one thing only or multiple.

Actually, I just remembered something. Is there a helipad (runway) starting point? Like does it spawn where the helipad nearest to the hangar (on the right) is?

Can confirm, i forget which orbx pack came with roof texture replacements

Yeah although Orbx Global Base improves the appearance of FSX overall, sometimes the textures can be a little inappropriate. Brownish/red roofs on churches are more like something you would find in northern Italy rather than Ireland!

I can upload the default roofs if you want and you can trouble shoot em

For sure, i got the one by the hanger as default. Landing next to the one by the cargo is fun too. Only the one by the hanger has blue light to land at night

Of course not. I'm grateful. Nothing needs to be done. As long as Athlone exists, just as, it's perfect. With ORBX it's out of this world. I now can train on the islands, I can fly along the motorway, the lakes, PERFECTION!

If it’s not any trouble, that would be great thanks!

I got it, I will send shots when I arrive in Athlone for a practice flight (circles and stuff). Will not fully return until tomorrow.

@Sweetd31Are you sure you optimised it for ORBX? Because I'm trying to load it and I don't know why, but loading terrain data 6% is taking like 3 1/2 minutes to move to like 69%. I did not have this problem before I inserted Athlone into the scenery addons. I put the ALT in the scenery - world - scenery and the others in the addon scenery - scenery. What did I do wrong? The FPS is also the lowest I have ever seen for some reason.

Edit: Nevermind, a whole bunch of stuff went wrong AND NOW IT'S TOO LATE AAARRRGGHHHH!!

Lol there is no optimization here... this is not coding xml. Im literally just plopping default buildings down

 

also the alt file goes in scenery --> world --> scenery

 

its where altitude changes go

Scenery world scenery yes. That's what I did. Though, I did notice my terrain.cfg file corrupted so I wonder if that's why my FPS went to the dumps.

No issues using it with Orbx Ireland here - loading time seems no different to previously, FPS is good and everything performs smoothly. Taking 3 1/2 minutes to go from 6% to 69% would not be unusual for me when my Orbx regions are active and indeed sometimes loading times are even longer depending on the addons active in my scenery cfg. My ‘Ireland only’ scenery cfg loads Orbx Ireland and Northern Ireland, Aerosoft Mega Airport Dublin, Eiresim Shannon, Cork and Kerry airports, all the George Keogh Irish airfield freeware and the Ireland Full VFR helicopter scenery from Daniel Florentin - a lot of data to be processed! I’ve come to accept that loading times like this are more or less the norm for my setup and I just find something else to amuse myself, like browsing the forums here, during the waiting time!

Fair enough. I just noticed it was a bit slower than when I first loaded last Monday. The other problem I have is the scenery randomly deciding to not load anymore (Yellow deserted ground instead of ORBX scenery)
