Data base - Airport without information

[jpvarnier2000]

Hello Tim,

A strange thing. When I built the FSX data base without the Dinard LFRD scenery from Vauchez, I have the informations and airport chart for LFRD.
When I built the data base, the LFRD Vauchez's scenery installed, i don't have the airport informations and the chart.

That i can do : I built the data base, the senery uninstalled, and after I install the LFRD Vauchez's secnery.

Check the log file for errors when it reads the Dinard file.

excuse my terrible English.
the same thing happened to me. after installing some local areas and rebuilding plan-g dbase, many airports are not anymore 'readable'
I found how to.  I hope is of your help.
Just set on all countries and click clear then try to search again your airport. it will be visible this time.
(info : I experienced this using plan-g_202 running on win7 64)

ciao

take care

Waiting for a solution, I have :
* uninstall the airport where no information was present
* built the database. Information are present with the FSX default airport.
* install the airport.

If you want to send me the LFRD afcad, I can look into it.

Hello Tim,

You will find here after the bgl files for LFRD.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

The afcad for the airport contains literally only the airport reference point and a bunch of taxiway signs. There is nothing else. Consequently Plan-G (nor ADE9x) will not display anything. I can only imagine the remaining airport details are distributed amongst other bgls that are not 'airport' files. This is very unusual - I've never seen another airport designed that way. All I can suggest is that you do as you have done and disable the scenery while you build the Plan-G database.
