#FSX CHANGING RUNWAY NUMBERS MANUAL#
#FSX CHANGING RUNWAY NUMBERS CODE#

Regarding Blausterns suggestion of searching the ICAO code of the airport, that brought no conflicting files so I tried the 'Simple Airport Scanner' and that didn't bring anything up either. You might have to repeat this process for each of your addon airports. With regard to manually searching for duplicate AFCADS, let's use EGCC as an example: Type EGCC into the search box on your FSX folder and it should come up with a list of any files containing EGCC amongst those files look for ones containing any of the terms I mentioned above (AFD, AFX, ADE, AFCAD, ADEX) as these will be AFCAD files ignore any files in the main UKXtreme EGCC folder as you want to keep these unaltered rename any EGCC files in other folders which contain any of the above terms, by changing the bgl suffix to OFF (or anything else) then run FSX and go to EGCC to see if the problem still persists. But perhaps you need to check your scenery library to make sure that the FSX default scenery is at the bottom.īy the way I am assuming you don't have any addons other than the ones you listed? Ultimate Terrain for example can cause the sort of problem you describe. I don't think I have ever come across FSX default AFCAD files causing a problem and I would not expect them to (but I'm open to correction here) unless they are above the add-on airports in the scenery library which should not happen. I guess deactivating the Rex runway markings didn't solve the issue then? I'll get back to you if the problem is fixed but thank you for the amount of support already given! If the REX tweak doesn't work I'll consider the AFCADS file finder, but as it's a payware software, then I don't think the problem is so great as to have to pay to find a potential solution. That's absolutely great! I didn't know you could deactivate the runway textures for REX E+OD and I'll try that immediately. But try playing about with Rex first to see if that is the cause! Be VERY careful however not to delete any of these files in case you need them again or they are not the cause of the problem and I would suggest just renaming the 'bgl' suffix as 'OFF' or something else.

#FSX CHANGING RUNWAY NUMBERS MANUAL#

You could do a manual search for duplicate AFCADS for your add-on airports, as you haven't got too many, by doing a search in FSX using the airport codes and looking for bgl files starting with AFX, APX or ADE (Orbx add-ons only I think) or containing the term AFCAD or ADEX, although they can occasionally be files with other terms. I use a payware product from Flight 1 called AFX which is very effective at finding all AFCAD files but it also does a lot of other things so just buying it to search for AFCADS would probably be overkill unless you have a huge amount of add-on scenery, as I do.

There was a freeware AFCAD finder available for FS9 but as far as I am aware there is nothing similar available for FSX. If the problem persists then you could search for duplicate AFCADS. It might just be worth deactivating that feature to see if is resolves the problem before you do anything else. With regard to Rex E+OD, I also use this but I did not activate the runway textures, so I guess that these may have something to do with the problem you are experiencing. I take it that the problem only occurs at these add-on airports and not your default airports? If they are the only add-on airports you have installed then there shouldn't be any problems with duplicate AFCADS, unless you had any previous non-default add-ons for these airports which you did not fully uninstall when adding these payware airports.
