Feng67 3 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi, I have a minor but annoying problem. I recently installed a freeware add-on airport for Malaga (LEMG). The airport installs fine and appears normally within the sim (FSX-SE) but the default map still shows all of the airport details for the original stock FSX airport (i.e. runways 14/32 instead of 13/31) and when you select a parking position the plane usually ends up half in a building. I also noticed that on my Flight Sim Commander map the details are also of the stock airport. I am no expert with the scenery cfg file but I looked in there and as far as i can tell the entry for the Malaga scenery looks ok (points to the right location and is the same format as all the others). I am guessing that it is still reading the original AFCAD file but I dont know where that is or how to get the sim to read the correct, active, one. Any help would be appreciated.

MBunjes 2 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 For Flight Sim Commander you'll have to run the FSCDbManager. (It's in the install directory of FSC) Link to post Share on other sites
Feng67 3 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thanks MB. Should have said that I had already run the db manager after installing the add-on, and it still shows the stock details. Somehow the Sim is displaying the add-on visually in the sim but using the details (Rwy, parking etc) of the stock airport. It seems alos that FSC is reading the stock values.

Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Sounds a bit as though it might be an AFCAD thing?? Google gave me these, which might perhaps be pertinent: http://www.avsim.com/topic/8895-afcad-question/ https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/10715/afcad-file-for-lemg/ and https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/14094/afcad-file-for-lemd-update/ Hope it helps....?

stu7708 244 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Are you sure there are no other add-on scenery for Malaga on your computer.. I had a similar experience with ESSB where a correction to the AFCAD to align the airport with a photo scenery refused to show up in FSX. After some digging it turned out that Traffic X from Just Flight had installed a whole bunch of extra AFCADs that were located above the Add-on Scenery folder in my scenery library, thus taking priority over the correction I was trying to install..

Feng67 3 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks for the suggestions, I do have My Traffic installed and from memory it is higher in priority than my airports (at work at the moment so can't check). but sounds like a good possibility.

Feng67 3 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks Stu, I moved "My Traffic" down the priiorty under my add-on airports and that has resolved the issues. Many thanks Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites
