Invisible Airport

Post by flyingboy12 » Sun Mar 25, 2018 4:09 am

Hello, so when I installed this scenery, I was having an issue with the airport elevation and me being under the airport, I read through the forum and found a fix where we needed to delete the Boston dummy file in /Scenery/World. After deleting that file, the airport became invisible. I tried re-installing and it still is invisible. I am out of ideas.

This is how the airport looks.

All I can see is the underlaying photoscenery & the jetways. Everthing else is missing.

Did you install it using the installer or manually copy/move files about?

How many files in P3D4\FlyTampa\Boston\scenery & texture folders?

I installed the scenery using the installer.

There are 167 files in the Scenery folder and 375 files on the Texture folder.

I can see part of the car rental building to the right of your shot. Any more buildings hiding underground?

It looks like you have something excluding the entire airport area. Please check for older boston sceneries & AFCADs. Disable them.

One more thing... What Flight sim is this? Prepar3D V4?

When I run Simple Airport Scanner, this are the sceneries that show up:

I do not know what that "ZBOS" scenery file is doing there. Its in the KBOS scenery folder, I don't know if it belongs there.

I am on P3D V4.

Probably worth mentioning, I had the airport elevation issue where the plane was underground, I searched through the forums and found I needed to delete a KBOS dummy file, before I deleted the dummy file, I could see the airport textures but I was underground, now I am not underground but I cannot see the airport.

Zbos is needed for the tunnels to work.

You may have the same issue as this guy?
