Yikes! I don't suggest doing this, as APX files contain more than one airport and they will all disappear. Here's a kinder and gentler way to fix the issue:

https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/airport-flatten-issue-p3d-v5.447350/post-841729

It may take some time for each airport, but it will give you the correct exclusions for each default object.

As an alternative to this (Due to having compiler issues with ADE) I went about it a similar way. Using ADE to locate the "APX" files for the stock airports, I searched for the corresponding "OBX" files for each stock airport in the "Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\Scenery" and switched the file extensions to ".off". 

In addition to this I was already using Lorby-SI's Addon Organizer to ensure proper placement of everything. Currently every 3rd party airport I was having trouble with is now "stock scenery free". Yes it's time consuming and I know that it's been mentioned on multiple forums, this is what I've found that works. 

 

***Update** Discovered that while the airports no longer have default stock...some of the areas surrounding Downtown for example, the buildings are gone. Tested this for the OBX files surrounding San Antonio and Dallas, TX. Downtown buildings are gone. 

#2 - Successfully excluded the stock airport BGL in ADE, recompiled it using the same V5 parameters, and used Lorbi-SI to create a new entry in the scenery config file. It works perfectly(until I find something else)

Same here. After I installed this operating system, I didn't actually "install" it. I just ran the AEShelp and it reconfigured itself with the airports. I know it's not the correct spot for this but just FYI, I haven't had a problem getting it to run. 

Wonder if the whale is a 700 now.. I suppose I could find out if I googled it.. :}

To answer this one, I know it's a few days old but YES There is a 700 version of SHAMU :) N713SW ...this was parked at Love Field a couple of months ago. Saw the other pic and figured i'd share it.

I would have to go with the -700 series. I've been wanting to do Southwest Airlines routes for awhile now....since I work at Love Field..makes it fun to work there in the day, and fly out of it at night :(

FMC Menu, Under "Equipment" enable HGSThat should get it back for you

All those Configs in the "Panel" folder.....you know the ones that have "Panel_wide" , "Panel_4:3" etc.... All the NGX aircraft alias themselves to the 800 panel. Don't know if you know it or not but the "Panel.cfg" is the main file that the NGX uses. If you rename one of those "Panel_wide" or other configurations to just "Panel.cfg" you should see a difference when you load it up.

I havent installed the SP yet, but I had actually adjusted mine to these settings and it worked great for me...[VIEWS]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,MINIPANELVIEW_FORWARD_DIR=5.000, 0.000, 0.000VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.8

Another way to try it, that should also work

I know....

The service pack was released.I'm talking about the 600/700 add on package.

You mean this? lolhttp://www.precision...3&idcategory=13

How are you flying -700 flights when it hasn't been released yet?

Check it, it's been released for a couple of hours now

Takes the sting off of Texas losing the World Series.

Gah.....Don't remind me....guess i'll do a flight from STL to DAL >.>

Robert, Again...THANK YOU! Really wasn't expecting that surprise but THANK YOU!!

AH IT IS OUT!!!

Not a problem guys :(

A little confusing, I am now downloading the original installer so this will incorporate SP1?

Sorry bout thatThe Original installer does incorporate SP1.

As a matter of fact, I just downloaded the installer again from PMDG.....if you just get the original installer....it comes with SP1 already. V.3057One complete installer. Still having the 2D panel issue.....haven't fixed that yet.

.But after installing it I had a problem with the 2d panel(when i puted in the 2d panel it was very low it just let me see the ground and i could not see the sky)Has anyone else experienced the problem?

I"m actually experiencing the same exact issue. The problem is ,every time I tilt the view up using the "CTRL Q" command etc....the view will stay...but when I pan around the cockpit from 2D mode...it reverts back to the "low ground" state.This ONLY happened after installing SP1......Did the livery uninstall...then uninstalled the base w/hotfixes.....reinstalled the base only, and SP1 on top of that.Besides that, the NGX actually runs better then ever.....except for this small minor problem.

Just use control+shift+Q to pan your viewpoint up a little.control+Q to pan down.

Tried that, it works but it doesn't stay that way the second you change views...it always reverts back to the "low ground" state.

I have both the Saitek rudder pedals and the Yoke system....like I previously mentioned before, take as much time as required to iron out all the issues. I had already suspected another delay but i'm not disappointed by it. (preps the 800) Time for another flight!

I think the PMDG staff should close this topic untill there is some update...

You may be right...as we can tell this has gone off into several different directions. Maybe we'll get lucky and get something today...It has been a week since the last update. It could be deliberate.

lol patience is a word that no one has in here :)

Good point lol

Lol.....patience comes to those who wait!! The 6/700 series will come out when it's good and ready..Maybe tomorrow, maybe Sunday.....maybe next week, who knows. Go fly the 800's for little bit longer lol,

Robert, You and the rest of the PMDG team have already done such a fine job with everything over the past several years. All of us have waited a long time for the NGX, and honestly....if it takes a little while longer whether it would be a week, a month or even a year it doesn't matter. You can release this when it's good and ready, no rush at all. Take as much time as you need, and take care of your father....i'm sure he could really use you right now. This whole community can relate to family i'm sure.....and family is much more important. The 6/700 series, SP1....it will come out when it's ready, until then be patient. Best wishes Robert, do what you have to do.

Just arrived at KTPA - Tampa Intl for the night.....Departing for KDFW In the morning :(

Soooo close!! It's in the cart!!!! but the page is stuck >.> Server OVERLOAD!!!!!!
