Title: Strange building on taxiway
Post by: Sploosh on January 11, 2019, 05:09:14 pm
I noticed a building that doesn't look like FSDreamTeam put there at KLAX on the taxiway. I have Ultimate Traffic Live, ORBX Regional and Vector installed. Any thoughts?

No, that's not something that comes from our scenery, it looks like a default building or an autogen building. First, try to see if you find any conflicting AFCADs using the Simple Airport Scanner utility:

Thanks for the reply. The SAS did not work for me, having P3Dv4.x.

Solved.

After going through hundreds of KLAX entries (flight plans, models, sceneries), there is a fix. In the folder ORBX/FTX_NA_SCA05_Scenery/Scenery are two entries for KLAX, ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAX.BGL and ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAX_CVX.BGL. Renamed both of them and the erroneous building is gone.

Thanks for the direction.

 Thought that would have been obvious to check. It's up to each user to check compatibility between your own addon's. There are instructional threads even at ORBX regarding compatibility with other addons and what to remove/rename.

Uhm, Dave, you don't need a forum to tell people that you don't want to help them, or gloat your knowledge exceeds theirs and won't help them; not to mention, that by using the forum to increase my knowledge, I have to be insulted, as a party favor for troubling you. It is tantamount to being in a classroom wherein the teacher asks does anyone have a question... and as soon as someone has the courage to ask one, the teacher berates the student for asking.

Umberto, thank you for your insight that gave me the brain storm to find what I needed to solve my minor scenery conflict. Love the sceneries!

 No need to take it so personally, it wasn't meant to berate or insult you. It's just an important thing for each user to be aware of as only they know what various addons are contained within his/her sim setup. It's a very common issue to which there have been MANY threads over the years. Any other addon airports that you may have within ANY of the FTX regions will also require similar treatment, it all depends on the airport and can be found in the FTX compatibility forum.

Hi

Maybe I should create another thread but however.
Regarding KLAX V2. The international terminal has buildings that blocks the parking areas on the east side.
See images
The only BGL files for klax that exists are FSDT and UScities Los Ang.

I can't see any other errors and everything woks well.

Mats Sederholm

You should have only ONE AFCAD for KLAX, and it should be the one from FSDT. If that other AFCAD is "for KLAX", as it seems from your sentence, it's very likely it will cause conflicts, since it has been likely made assuming you use the default airport so, if you have an addon, you must remove it.

Fixed

I put the FSDT KLAX area ABOVE the US Cities Los Angeles area in scenery list.
Thanks for the input

Yes, this can usually work, but not always. We always install our airports on top of the Scenery Library, but if you move them (or another addon force itself on top of it), anything can happen.
