October 1, 2025Oct 1 Aren’t those files just excludes created with ADE? You can easily do that yourself if so. Orman

You could write to them here and ask why the files have been removed. It’s not as if they’re struggling for space. https://inibuilds.com/pages/contact Ray (Cheshire, England).

October 1, 2025Oct 1 In case you're not able to get the files you need, you might like to build your own ones. You'll need the following: - Open the default V5 airport in ADE - Remove all taxi signs, scenery objects and jetways. I also remove taxi links and parkings, just in case. - Compile this file and then put the compiled BGL in your scenery library so that it loads before your scenery. Let's hope it has the same elevation as the airport in P3Dv4/FSX. This is how I did for ORBX SABE and SAWH (part of the freeware airport pack). This is roughly based on the instructions here: But this assumes the elevation change is very small or none. It mostly works, but not always.

October 2, 2025Oct 2 Author So they said "If they aren't under the link below, they are no longer available I'm afraid." Which is disappointing, I wish they did a dump of it and put it on simmarket so we could download as a zip

What harm is there by them remaining. Keep at them and they may relent. Ask how much space was released by removing them. Ray (Cheshire, England).

October 2, 2025Oct 2 If they took down the compatibility files you might want to stat download the dynamic lighting files. They might be next to get deleted.

October 2, 2025Oct 2 Did that site have compatibility files for Tropicalsims LPSJ and LatinVFRs SLVR sceneries? If they did can someone please send them to me? I just learned how to delete the default buildings so I can do that, but these sceneries also have elevation issues in P3Dv5.4.

Make them aware you’re unhappy with the decision especially if they gave no prior warning so users could download them. Heck, with permission AvSim Library could have had them.

October 10, 2025Oct 10 Author I pushed, they said they were no longer available or they deleted them. Disgraceful, they didn't even ask or state they were doing it. 🤬
