Missing or broken autogen?

peacedivision · Post by **peacedivision** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 2:13 pm

First flights out of the new scenery with autogen set to extremely dense.

Default and addon scenery autogen in other locations is still working fine.

And for the devs: I have read the manual, including the section on missing autogen and nothing is working. All files have been modified as listed in the manual, but still nothing.

Another interesting issue. The tiny islands the dot the scenery all have working autogen. Only the main islands with airports are broken...

Cmon guys this is a $40 release, lets get some support in here.

You checked for the files fsx/autogen/

AutogenDescriptions.spb
AutogenDescriptions.spb(before_FlyTampa_Grenadines)

and they both exist correct? Do their file-sizes differ?
AutogenDescriptions.spb should be larger then the renamed file (before_FlyTampa_Grenadines). If you had no other Addons that added content, default SP2 would be 344KB, and the new file 351KB.

Let me know if the above is correct.

Both exist. before grenadines file is 679kb, after install file is 686kb

There is also default.xml prior and post install, but the file size didnt change.

That looks okay. Could you email me both the default.xml and autogendescriptions.spb to martin@flytampa.com so I can check if the new data got added.

Also, when you browse to fsx/addon scenery/flytampa-grenadines/texture/ do you have lots of AGN files like 003313312123231an.agn etc?

Files are on the way, checked and there are 139 .agn files in the textures folder.

Ok, I have tried all of the above and still my islands look barren, I also run FTX of course but I had set everything back to default before installing this and it still is not showing up, I followed the instructions here and in the manual but no joy... any other suggestions please?

Have you tried the new Autogen-Editor from this thread?
viewtopic.php?t=3877

If that also fails, could you email me (martin@flytampa.com) a copy of your fsx/autogen/default.xml (ZIPed if its very large). This is the file which gets edited when Addons add custom autogen.

Yes, I have, I will reply more in the other thread just to keep it in one place
