uk military airfields

**prb38uk** · 10-19-2008, 02:17 PM

Hi,
Has anyone used runway 12 to add scenery to UK military airfields? I have downloaded Ted Andrews RAF Hangers and the Rnwy 12 file to go with it but when I add the scenery to an airfield it does not show up. I have activated Stactic Scenery and I am saving the bgl file and xml file into there. If I add a hanger from the default libraries at the same time this shows up ok so the program itself must be working. Can anyone advise?

Thanks,

Have you installed the Rwy12 library file and textures in FS and, if so, is the folder area they are in active in the sim? I assume this is FS9?

yes - I have the bgl file in scenery and seperate raf building textures in the texture file. When I go to restart FS9 it loads and generates new scenery. I have tried adding raf hangers only then a mix with dawg hangers - the dawg show up ok.

OK so there are two bgl files? one is the rwy12 library bgl file that you have put in a scenery sub folder and the textures you have put in the texture sub folder. The placement bgl file is also in FS.

One other reason that objects do not always show up is because of the image complexity setting. If the setting associated with the object is higher than the setting in the FS scenery settings then the object will not show. so if you have an object set to DENSE and FS set to NORMAL then the object won't show. Have you checked that?

Yes checked that - have set at normal - when I put an item in at normal from the rnwy12 library it shows ok so I know the basic programme is working.

Not really sure what to suggest then. Are you saying that you cannot get these objects to show up at all?

No none of the RAF scenery shows up - all the standard scenery in the 3libraries that come as standard show up. I have a feeling that the file names are not correct for the raf add on scenery so runway 12 is not detecting the new bgl.

May I ask if you see the RAF buildings in the RWY12 preview screen?

I have done a lot of work in the past with RWY12 so feel you may have possibly misplaced something.

Is the file named add_RAF_Hangers_FS9_Ted_Andrews.xml in the Main RWY12 folder?

and did you place the folder named FS9 RAF Hangars into the IMG subfolder of the RWY12 folder?

Did you remember to sync the coordinates from FS also before adding the object(s). I always try to remember to check what the sync boxes says against the coordinates I am seeing on the FS screen - just as a safeguard.

They show up just fine for me in a test scenery bgl which I just made. I called it RAF_Hangar_test.bgl and placed it in my Addon scenery/scenery subfolder.

FYI - the buildings do show up and can be placed properly using the EZ style library version and using the Instant Scenery (payware) program from Flight1.

Hope this helps.

I have been in contact with Ted Andrews (the author) and he has advised the wrong xml file got included in the RWY12 RAF package.

He says he plans to upload a corrected version to Avsim within the next couple of days.

I have been testing the "correction" and it seems to work properly now.

It is Thursday, Nov. 13 2008 as I post this.

Hope the info is of value.

The corrected RWY12 files for the RAF hangars are now online at Avsim.com.

Here is a link:
