Missing airport

[rosariomanzo]

After my last database update, I no longer see FTX YCDR on plan-g.
YCDR is available in FSX airport list, as I can choose it in the FSX flight planner.
Is there a way to add an airport not recognized by plan-g?

You probably had the Australia region deselected in your Orbx control panel when you built the db. The Orbx panel will actually remove scenery from your FS configuration when you change regions, so it's not  possible to have a single scenery.cfg that contains _all_ of your Orbx scenery. Go to the Build Database Options panel, and there you can specify scenery areas to include in Plan-G that may not be in your current FS config.

See also page 18 in the new manual, where this new feature is described.

Hi Tim
Australia was enabled in FTX Central, and I have added FTX AU/FTX YCDR directory in the additional paths in the options window.
Still no YCDR in Plan-g.
This is quite strange, as all other FTX airports are correctly displayed on the map.

Is it present in FS, in the Go To Airport dialog?

Have a look in the log from when Plan-G built the database. You should be able to see it processing the FTX folders (it'll be fairly near the start, as it processes the addons before going through the default folders). Check that it's actually processing that airport, and not throwing up any errors.

Hi Tim, yes it is present.

About Caloundra in the log, everything seems ok:

This is quite puzzling me...  :(

And what is more puzzling is that with the last database build I have Caloundra back!  :o

Tim, sorry for that. Looks like I made you waste a bunch of time.

No worries ;)
