Macco Sim Manchester/EGCC Quality factor 1

Featured Replies

Dear kiek,

could you maybe take a look into the data of Macco Sim scenery Manchester/EGCC?

I only get a indicated qf of 1 and only 2 static aircraft parked.

Or is this maybe a problem on my end?

Greetings 

For MSFS 2024 Macco Sim:

   EGCC 1.2.0   154  42/28  Manchester                              
   EGCC 2.1.5   154  42/27  Manchester                              

So there must be a problem at your end. Did you do a re-scan fror airports?

If you cannot fix it, post your Log.txt and ..\output\info\AirportScanLog.txt pls.

Hi kiek,

I tried the re-scan for airports, but no success.

Could you please take a look into the log file?

@kiek I definitely think something might be off the with data lately. For example I just ran a scan with all my airport addons activated and I get a tlob folder with 25 airports many of which are very popular and are listed in the archive.txt. For example MK-Studios KLGA and KSEA are in there. I'll email the folder but those airports have never been an issue and all of a sudden it's like PSXT is seeing them for the first time

I have a lot of airports in the TBLO folder as well.

All of them have been around for a long time already.

Edited by Robert_LH

there seems to be something related to version numbers. For example FB KSFO was generated. I have version 1.2.1 but the archive.txt says 1.2.2. I downloaded via the contrail app and there is no version 1.2.2 only 1.2.1

I have a lot of airports in the TLOB folder as well.

All of them have been around for a long time already.

At my end the particular airports are:

EBBR, EDDH, EDDL, EFHK, EGBB, EGCC, EGGD, EGLL, EGNT, ELLX, GCLP, KLAX, KSEA, LEBL, LEMD, LFMN, LFSB, LOWW, LTFM, RCTP, VTBS.

I sent you an e-mail with the tblo.zip file.

 

I think I may have found a solution. Check your manifest file for your airports. I went through the one's that were in my tblo folder and many were showing a different version number than what the archive.text has despite my sceneries being the latest version. I am not sure why those did not change whenever I downloaded an update but by making sure the version number in the manifest file matches what is in the archive, all those now work properly and with the correct qf.

Hi Dave, 

thanks for the reply. Where do I find the manifest file? And how did you correct it to match the numbers? Manually?

 

Edited by Robert_LH

It's in each airports folder in the community folder or wherever you keep your scenery folder. You should see a layout json and manifest json file. Open the manifest with text editor and ensure that it matches the version number for the airports in the archive file found at www.lekseecon.nl/downloads/docs/msfs2024_archive.txt

If it doesn't match change the version number in the manifest file to match and it should recognize  the airports properly next time you do a scan

Okay thanks a lot Dave, I‘m going to try this tomorrow.

  • Author

Hi Dave,

your advice actually worked. At least in my case for KSEA. 
You definitely found the culprit! 👍

I‘m still using MSFS 2020 though and the MSFS airport archive is missing many airports compared to the the MSFS 2024 archive, in order to match the manifest.json

But I‘m best going to open a new thread for this.
