New Airport in FSX

[dj_fabio_69]

Hi all,

some days ago, a new airport in Italy was opened, Comiso in the extreme south of Italy.

It is totally a new building in fact there isn't in the Flight Simulator.

I've created a scenery with Afcad, parkings, VOR, ILS etc like in the reality, but if i ask to Plan-G to rebuild database, also including Addon Scenery folder, i still haven't it on Plan-G.

Could anyone help me? I'm using latest version "Plan-Gv3.0.4.59".

Best Regards

Hi,

First question: Is your airport selectable within FS (which version?)?

You may try to find the freeware "Airport Design Editor" and install it. It has excellent functions regarding error detection and repair before compilation. You may open your AFCAD2 generated file directly (function: open from BGL).  The error search is under "Tools"

If you need support, give me a PM.

Did you put your airport in Addon Scenery, Addon Scenery\scenery or some other folder? If it's in the top level Addon Scenery, Plan-G will not find it. It needs to be in .\Scenery or some other folder that's been Added to the FS database.

Tim, may I amend this (I think the message could be misunderstood)? Any BGL in the folder "<myFSX>\Addon Scenery\Scenery\" will be recognised containing airport data. It works as well e.g. in "<myFSX>\Scenery\World\scenery\" and other even external folders on other drives but it must contain a direct subfolder named "scenery" where the BGLs are in. I think it's written somewhere in the SDK. However, as the OP has shown no reaction anymore he might have solved this case alone.  :-\

Yes. If the AFCAD files are not in a folder that ends in "\Scenery", Plan-G will not register them.
