Lovely duo Dave. Always a pleasure to see Duxford in virtual or real life.

Great shots. In fact, there's probably more there than in real life - TFC is a shadow of its former self, IMO.

I must get ACG's Duxford sorted out. It has the P3DV2-related disappearing taxiway problem down near the Land Warfare Hall and I have to use ADE to fix it, so I am told.

[DaveB]

Oh dear.. no idea about Duxford in P3D I'm afraid. DG probably has it installed so may be of some help to you

All of the aircraft above are still listed as being on 'company strength' with TFC.. their only notable loss being the Tiger Cat which went back west a while ago. OFMC on the other hand have only ZD-B and Frankie plus an RV8, Pitts S2S and the Sukhoi Duo (which can be made available for display). Make that ZD-B and Frankie TFC aren't doing so bad in the grand scale of things

Indeed I do Not at the PC at the mo, but I can run through the procedure later if you like. Only takes a minute or two.

Hi Dave,

I originally raised the issue on ACG's forum in this thread:
http://airfieldconstructiongroup.org/fo ... f=62&t=969

Dan231 pointed me to ADE. and to this tutorial:
http://scruffyduck.clarify-it.com/d/zq9mtw

Following the Scruffyduck tutorial, I started up ADE ( version 01.65.5452.12450 by the way ) and selected File/Open Airport from Bgl

I then selected D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Addon Scenery\ACG IWM Duxford FSX\scenery\AFX_EGSU.bgl

Now, I've followed the tutorial down to and including ' Set Taxipath Draw Flags to Default Values' and everything looks fine ( in my version of ADE I have Yes and No instead of True and False, but it all seems to work ).

I click on save - but it doesn't make any difference in the sim - the taxiways are still missing.

The questions are;

1 ) Should I be selecting EGSU using File/Open Airport from Bgl - or is it better to select EGSU another way ?

2 ) Am I using the correct .bgl file anyway ? There are a number of them in the Scenery folder.

3 ) Is there anything else I should do before or after clicking 'Reset All Draw Flags ' and 'Save' ? 'Export' maybe ?

Any help gratefully received.

Hi Paul,

sounds like you're doing it right, but you need to click "compile airport" from the file menu. ADE will probably give it a different file name, so you can either accept this, or save it with the original name, in which case, make a backup first. If you use a different name, don't forget to disable the original AFX_EGSU.bgl. Also, check where ADE will be actually saving the compiled bgl, as it may not be the same folder that you selected the bgl from.

[Paul K]

Thanks for that Dave. Unfortunately, I get an error after clicking 'compile airport'. The Issue Manager says ' This Runway is duplicated. An error is raised for each duplicate. Please check and fix the appropriate one.' Got to head for bed now, but any pointers as to what I should do will be welcome.
