Hello there,
unfortunately the old topic for that problem is older than 180 days so I had to open a new one...
I recently bought the scenery "Samsoft Shanghai Night & Day" for FS2004 at Simmarket. I decided to do so because I also have the "Sky of Taipei" and the "The very Singapore"-sceneries installed from Samsoft and I like both of them pretty much also I know these sceneries are nowadays...well, somewhat "oldfashioned".
Now after installation there's a problem showing up at ZSPD, Shanghai Pudong Intl airport: it has no gate-fingers. Maybe you know how dull a scenery can look like if the airport doesn't show up them, even if the building itself is really nice. So I tried to fix it, first of all by mailing Samsoft but unfortunately I didn't receive any answer from them so far.
The next thing I tried is to put gate fingers with my scenery maker from Flight1 (v2) but unfortunately they still didn't show up (I experienced that it doesn't work to set any scenery features if it's an addon-product which has to be activated in the scenery library of FS9). So I tried to use the "Runway 9-11"-libraries for enhancing several airports (among them ZSPD) but still the gates won't show up. First I believed that the airport "is meant" to show no gates at all but if you take a look:

Could anyone please give me a hint what I could do to fix that problem? I know that there's a nice scenery of chinese airports (think it's called "AI China" but the link at that chinese site is dead...) available - normally - but I really would like to keep the Samsoft scenery because I like the city environment and the old city airport of Shanghai (Hongqiao/ZSSS) is very nice. I wonder if I'm the only one with that problem though...
And anyway, I know that ZSPD changed a lot since Samsoft published the scenery...I think there are two more runways now. Gosh, I even don't think about fixing that problem!
Any hints or answers are appreciated and highly welcome!
Thanks, Felix
