Thanks--I was putting it directly in the addon scenery folder. I don't like how it messes up the flight planner (which is still useful for inputting a route that needs minimal editing, in many areas that haven't changed much!), so I'll switch it back and forth between the addon scenery folder and the addon scenery/scenery folder, depending on how out-of-date the area I'm flying in is:)

Hi! I think I followed the instructions correctly for installing the FSX world intersections update from this site: http://www.aero.sors.fr/navint.html However, the updated intersections aren't showing up in the flight planning page. I copied and pasted the BGL file into Addon Scenery, which is already active as a scenery area in the library.

Solved! It turns out that Mario Noriega released a new FSX-native version (v3) that came after the Eagle Rotorcraftt version. Ironically, it was Eagle's denunciation of this independent release that led me to it...and its panel lights work at night! Here's where I found the information i needed to search for v3 http://www.eaglerotorcraftsimulations.com/forums/thread-303.html

Bump:) Has anyone on here had problems with the gauges of their add-on aircraft's VC lighting up and not showing what is on them?

I downloaded and installed the freeware FSX-native version of Eagle Rotorcraft Simulation's Piaggio P.180 Avanti. I thought it was working fine (a bit high-powered, but I've never flown a real P.180, so I don't know how realistic that was), but then I tried it at night. I turned on the gauge lights, and most of the gauges (including the Attitude Indicator and digital autopilot number displays) were washed out so that they did not display. They glowed, but the numbers and the artificial horizon (among other things) went away. This only happened in the VC, but like most people, I much prefer the VC to the 2D instrument panel in FSX. Can anyone figure out how I might fix this problem?

Hate to say this, but the way you let your frustration come out in those lasts few emails may have killed (or at least really damaged) your chances of getting this taken care of, especially with the poor grammar and such. You have to assume that either 1) Your media access control (MAC) address has somehow been "recognized" as matching that of someone else's computer (it's a physical impossibility that they woud actually BE the same, since the MAC address is physically burned onto each individual network device, such as your network interface card), or they have some other way of "recognizing" your computer that I don't know about. And no, he didn't suspend the Blanco account--he said so himself (he wants the OP to go back to using it).

Yes, I've gone into "Scenery Libraries" and put the FTX freebie airports at the top. In fact, the rows of military trucks at PHJR are there, but only if I'm close enough (they're just shadows otherwise). Just out of curiosity, how many of you who can see the buildings have FTX Global? It sounds as though that's necessary to get these free airports to work right.

Bump! I just checked the ORBX forums again, and I have--so far--gotten one response, which seemed--to me, at least--to imply that they wanted me to go the payware route to fixing the problem (by buying FTX Global rather than just using the FTX North America airport packs). Not sure if that's supposed to be the only fix, though.

Thanks for the Tip! Unfortunately, it's not the sliders--they're all maxed out! Keep the responses coming, Avsim! I posted this to the ORBX website earlier (just before my last comment here), but no response there yet, so the Avsim community is starting to look like the forum with the quickest help! :smile:

Thanks! I've already posted my question there! Now, if anyone here has an answer (or at least a confirmation that there are supposed to be more buildings there), I'd still appreciate responses here, too!

Bump:) I still want to know why there aren't any buildings at PHMK or PHJR other than the control towers...

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started this at least 10 years ago, and it was my first RTW trip...and I've never gotten around to attempting to start a new one. Now, with the latest in FSX technology--and probably VATSIM, which is a huge step-up from FS2000--I can now finish the RTW trip that I started...you have no idea how many years I've been looking unsuccessfully for this!

Hi! I just installed the FTX North America package for Hawaii, and it seems like at least some airports (PHMK, possibly PHJR although I didn't look too closely) are missing buildings. I mean, the control tower is not the only building at PHMK in real life or in the default scenery.

haha I know that FSX is a huge improvement--I've been searching for this hop list since I got FS2004 a few years ago:) And it seems like a lot of the freeware addons for FSX are ported over from FS9, which means that the props peek out from behind cloud banks in a weird way:( That's one current challenge that I'm working on--figuring out a way to fix that without resorting to making the props transparent (or nearly so).

OK, so being a newbie around avsim.net, I posted this in the Round the World Race forum, and only then realized that that forum is only for the race, so I'm posting it here... Back when I was a kid/young teen, I was into MSFS 2000. I started off following the Microsoft Flight Simulator Team's Around the World flight that started and ended at Meigs Field, but real life pulled me away from MSFS for awhile, and now that I've gotten a copy of FSX, the articles that gave instruction for each leg have long since been taken down. I'd like to finish what I started, as I already had made it more than halfway around (I was partway finished with Leg 13 of 22--the one that starts in Italy). I know someone somewhere still has the route information (or at least that it existed in an archive somewhere long after the demise of Microsoft's old Article Archive), because they were able to mention some factoids about the trip on the left bar here: http://www.microsoft...Experience.aspx Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get a hold of the route/waypoints? If you can't help me, or if I'd be more likely to get quality help in a different forum here, please let me know which one--like I said, I'm very new to this site, and there isn't an FS2000 forum anymore (not that I'd use it anyway, now that I have FSX)! p.s. I got the suggestion to come here for information from none other than the Cascade Game Foundry, which means that it may have come from a member of the original team (and if it didn't, it came from one of their employees)!
