For about a month now, I cannot download either the Pacific or Atlantic tracks. It says it cannot connect to the website. Anyone else having this problem and/or know the fix/work-around?

I made a backup and changed the airport elevation and compiled, and started FSX. no visual change to the scenery. There is in the add-on scenery a file called background.BGL .. I think this file may be the issue but I can't edit it directly in ADEX. Is there some kind of exclusion I cod put down to fix this? Here is another screenshot (after all other MWCR files removed from FSX and airport elevation adjusted). The lines are not all straight lines and seem to be corrected at ramps, and where taxiways meet the runway, but not the runway or the surrounding scenery itself.

The scenery is mwcr2015.zip from AVSim website. This was my first MWCR add-on so it should be just the mwcr2015.zip file and the stock. both have the same airport elevation. The black area is only seen in-sim since the ADE file shows that area as concrete. Looks like tarmac in the sim up close. there are a lot of files inside the scenery file but ADE will only open 1. I dont have the programs or the knowledge to work with other scenery editors. There are 60 BGL files in the scenery folder. 10 of which are named with MWCR in the title so I wouldn't even know where to start even if I could open the BGL files. only 1 of all the 60 there will open in ADEX. I did find 2 BGL files in the UTacAirports folder installed by UTX. I removed them and reloaded FSX and the problem is still there. I did just notice there is a file in the scenery/world/scenery folder that is named UTX_MWCR_TAC.BGl .. this file will open in ADEX however there is nothing there. However, the airport elevation for this file shows it as 5.000 feet, where as the add-on scenery and FSX Stock have the elevation as 7.999 feet .. could this be the problem?

I have the same problem at 2 free-ware add-on scenery for FSX, MWCR and MYNN. From above, the scenery looks fine, but once you get to ground level (or zoom in using top-down view), it gets messed up. Also with MWCR at the ends of the runway it looks like the tire marks are floating a few feet above the surface (forgot to get a screenshot of this). I have UTX installed for USA, Europe, and Caribbean with all add-on scenery higher than UTX in FSX. Any way to fix this?

I've had a bit of an issue for a bout a week now landing at KATL, RC will give me "expect vectors for runway 8L approach" ... but all other AI are getting runways 27L and 26R because winds are 245 at 8. So RC is not only putting me in the wrong direction for wind, it is also putting me landing directly into on coming traffic. This started about a week ago when I installed a new KATL scenery. I verified the ATIS frequencies in the new. old, and stock KATL BGL files and they are all the same. Only the new one and stock is in FSX. The old one was removed from add scenery, removed from FSX folder and renamed. I checked the ATIS frequencies because I noticed when coming in to KATL just now, RC read out loud on the ATIS info "landing and departing runway 8L" where the green banner across the screen said landing and departing runway 27R, runway 26L, runway 26R, runway 27L, and runway 28." The banner is correct due to the wind direction and RC is assigning all incoming AI either runway 27L or runway 26R for landing. It's only me that RC is not assigning the proper runway/direction. I've checked everything I can think of and have posted for help in other forums and no one replies. Hoping someone here might have the answer since this seems to be an RC issue somehow. And yes, I always rebuild the scenery DB/run make runways after every single update to FSX scenery. As an update: I use Active Sky Next and have always had the destination weather locked for 40nm out, I just recently installed MyTraffic6 (installed at the same time as the KATL scenery to accommodate the increase in traffic), FUSIPC is installed and had weather smoothing activated and TCAS set to 0. for FSX I have FSX Acceleration. Additional update: I just double checked the FUSIPC TCAS info and it was set to 40nm, I guess that was done when I installed MyTraffic6. I changed it back to 0. It will be quite a few hours before I can report if this resolved the problem or not since I'm about to depart for KALB and then will return to KATL. I think it will since when I did a test flight yesterday, I started from an airport that was right at about 40nm from KATL and RC gave me the correct runway for landing, but coming from 1,000nm miles away, I was given the wrong runway. That would make since if RC was not seeing any AI getting assignments before I hit the 40nm mark. The odd thing is I've only noticed this at KATL and not with any of my other arrivals although that could have just been luck or lack of AI going to the same airport at the same time (KATL cannot really handle more than 40% traffic with MTraffic6, well, it could, but I'd have to circle the block and fight for a gate when I arrived).

Hello all. So I have a question regarding the Navy call sign. I noticed that in the c4 file and in winwood there is already Navy there, but it is assigned to "NAVY,NAVY,Royal Navy - UK,0, 0 " I was wondering since I have MyTraffic6 and it has a lot of US Navy planes flying around could I just have RC see the callsign of "US Navy" and call it Navy? If so, would I just need to include a new c4 line, or how would I go about doing this? I could just go into the aircraft CFG of the AI and rename US Navy to just Navy, but this would be very time consuming since I don't know exactly which AI planes have a Navy paint to them and would have to check all 204 AI aircraft CFG files that MyTraffic6 installed. Thanks for the help.
