X-plane 9 Custom Sceneries

Hi all, first post here.

I'm from x-plane .it and skyone helped me to get here :)

I'm having this problem with x-plane 9.70 database: I cannot make plan-g find any of the custom scenery I added in my x-plane installation. It reads only only default scenery.
So I went there - ... E:\A-SIMULAZIONE\X-Plane Simulator\X-Plane 9\Resources\default scenery - to see where plan-g takes its data.
It seems it only reads the apt.dat file big list of the default scenery, but it doesn't add any apt.dat file found in the custom scenery folders.

Changing manually an airport in the main apt.dat file list of default scenery, makes plan-g recognise it and be shown on the airport list when you look for an airport via plan-g.
If I don't add it manually, the airport cannot be found in plan-g.

That happen everytime I make a new airstrip and throw it in the custom sceneries..

sorry for my bad explanation :P

It definitely should find your custom scenery. Can you upload the Plan-G log file? Thanks.

I'm sorry Tim, here you are.

It's definitely reading the files. If they are not showing up, then maybe there is some other problem (it blocks out the default airport because it thinks it already has it, so if it failed, you see nothing at all).

If these are sceneries you've created, could you send me one that fails to look at, then I can see what the problem is. Thanks.

This is the one I created some time ago I use as reference. HSGN, Geneina.

Nyala is the one I've added manually in the basic apt.dat and that was HSNN in the database; I've changed to (old perhaps) HSNL to match the icao code I use flying on FSEconomy world.

I have tried this this morning, to add manually HSGN - Geneina to the default apt.dat like I did it with HSNL - Nyala ... but ... no success this time, Plan-G didn't find it at all ...

No, you need to wait for 3.0.6, which is currently in testing :)
