Re: Updated Installer V1.1 ??

Of course I can't answer on FT's behalf about an updated installer, but with regard to opening all runways for take off and landing, there are two issues... First is the simple fact that not all runways are suited for both. Take for example the Polderbaan runway (36L/18R) - the only way you could ta...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Ladies and Gentlemen... Welcome to the 45th Annual Gotcha! Awards... <big band fanfare> There are three gotchas to be awarded tonight... I was pondering things as I rebuilt to my SSD yesterday; and got to thinking more about EHAM and mesh. Until this point, I'd been thinking of Amsterdam as a colle...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Emilios! I don't know how you're getting on, but now I'm *really* confused... After my previous post, I restored a bare system image (Windows, drivers, updates, a few other apps (i.e. no flight-sim stuff at all)), and [fresh] installed P3D 3.4.18.19475. Normally, I'm quite disciplined (read: pretty ...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

That did occur to me, and I've been staring at a spare hard drive most of the day trying to pluck up the courage. Three things so far have prevented it... i) Daunting nature of the task (although this I can overcome). ii) Hope for discovery of some up-to-now overlooked tweak/fix to Amsterdam which w...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

This one's starting to get to me, now... I honestly can't think of much else I can try to solve this. Last night I updated P3D to 3.4.18.19475 just in case (I'd been holding off as I had no problems with 3.4.9.18400, and as compatibility patches for other addons wasn't complete, that's what my base ...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Hi Emilios, Likewise, thanks for your help. Indeed, AFX_EHAM_flytampa_dummy.bgl is present in \scenery\world\scenery. I've not installed any traffic package; and the only other active file is the ADEX_FLYTAMPA_EHAM_2016_NORTH.bgl (I tried with the file for easterlies this afternoon just in case (I u...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Eureka! (Well, ish) It appears to be something odd going on with the dummy(?)/lower EHAM - ZHAM_Flyatmpa.bgl If I rename that, the taxiway/service road is flattened (i.e. they're at the same height), but there's a bit of a 'smoking gun' that something's not quite right, because all of a sudden I ha...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Further to previous... Disabling the AEC layer, then all the ORBX layers, then all the FSG layers (I figured I'd strip out in chunks and then replace until the glitch reappeared) unfortunately had no effect. In the screenshot below, my Scenery Library had the following layers enabled (in priority or...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

OK. I found an ABP_EHAM.bgl in the ORBX folders, so renamed it and went to have a look, feeling that may well do the trick. Alas not, but it does seem that some interaction with FTX is causing my problems. The tunnel was no different, but there was one surprising effect (see below). I thought I'd lo...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

The safegate thing really is quite strange... I just noticed in the screenshots I posted above that they seem to be missing from the poles on the remote stands behind the buses, yet at D16 (and adjacent) where I went on to park in the same session, they're fine. As for the libraries, the latest shou...

Re: Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Hi Emilios, Thanks for your reply. This is the only thing I've noticed (aside from a strange thing with post-install/VDGS (mentioned in that thread)); certainly the only elevation thing I've seen. I suppose it might be FTX related? I checked that there was no AEC for EHAM (figuring the Netherlands t...

Re: VDGS

You've just reminded me that there was another quirk I wanted to mention... For my first couple of installs (I tweak & reinstall quite a lot :? ), the first option (for P3D native safedock) was inop. - with it selected there was no safedock on any stand. Eventually I switched to the FSX (only) o...

Bridge(/Tunnel) at Quebec & Alpha

Hi All, First of all, let me say, I love EHAM; it's been a favourite sim-destination for a long time, and I've owned most of the renditions made through the years. On getting back into sim flying, I was quite excited to discover that FlyTampa were taking on the challenge, and I'm not disappointed; i...
