patcal Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 I have recently discovered some of my Texas airports are gone. San Antonio & all the ones around are gone. Austin is still there. I am trying to figure out where on the FS2004 disc is the right files. I know the scenery files are on disc 4. I really do not want to do a full install. Any help would be appreciated.

jgf Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Either something has deleted those bgl files or deleted/corrupted their entries in scenery.cfg. The list of CD contents (thanks, Jim) are here - https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?245236-Contents-of-FS2004-disks If the pertinent bgl files are still in your FS9 install then you will need the scenery.cfg (just copy the appropriate lines into your existing .cfg unless you want to start from scratch with the default .cfg).
StringBean Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Have you added any scenery that had you replace a default file? KSAT is in ...\FS9\Scenery\NAMC\scenery\AP921210.bgl That file should be dated May 21, 2003 and weigh 12,924 bytes. If it is missing or has been modified you will have to retrieve it off of your FS9 discs. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

I have not installed any scenery for a while. Also I had flown to KSAT a few months ago & everything was fine. Will try swapping files. Pat Callaghan AMD FX-8350 4.0ghz.

patcal Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 Problem solved. Thanks allot. One question, how did you know what cities or airports are in which BGL file? I have the excel sheet with the files that are on the install disks. Pat Callaghan AMD FX-8350 4.0ghz. Asus M5A97 MB 16gig Crucial DDR3 ram, Radeon HD-7970 Video Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
StringBean Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I opened KSAT in Airport Design Editor (Afcad2.21 would work also) and looked at the airport properties. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

old_wombat Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 One question, how did you know what cities or airports are in which BGL file? If you have Airport Design Editor (which you should, if you don't, get it NOW) it will tell you. When you do an "Open Stock Airport" it will give you a choice of how you wish to find either an aiprot or a city or both. Once you have it, it will tell you what file and in what folder.

drake4896 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 You can also use the FSNavigator program to find the file and location.
patcal Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 Thanks guys. Really appreciate the quick help. Pat Callaghan AMD FX-8350 4.0ghz. Asus M5A97 MB 16gig Crucial DDR3 ram, Radeon HD-7970 Video Win 7 Ultimate 64bit
