No buildings at Madeira


specialist

Recommended Posts

Yes I do have highmemfix=1 on my cfg. I also have Orbx Vector, but I ran the airport elevation configuration as I've done every time I add a scenery to my FSX, to make sure the elevation issue is fix, and that doesn't seem to work with this scenery for some reason. The island looks fine except for the airport, which I have a screenshot, but can't seem to add it on this forum.

I wasn't trying to upload a .bmp file. I was trying to link a jpg file I upload onto my photobucket account. Regardless, I've seen other post with similar screenshots with the same problem, but their advise has not worked for me.

The way to get Madeira LPMA, and Porto Santo LPPS, to play nice with Orbx Vector is this;

Install the Madeira scenery as normal through Aerosoft wrapper, but there is no need to use the launcher.

Now three steps by hand is still needed:

FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_APT\scenery\

ABP_LPMA.bgl

ABP_LPMA_Default.inactive

ABP_LPPS.bgl

ABP_LPPS_Default.inactive

Now run the FTX Vector Configurator - Airport Elevation Corrections

Now the four files have changed as follows:

ABP_LPMA.inactive

ABP_LPMA_Default.bgl

ABP_LPPS.inactive

ABP_LPPS_Default.bgl

The two files with the extension .bgl needs to be modified to .off

ABP_LPMA.inactive

ABP_LPMA_Default.off

ABP_LPPS.inactive

ABP_LPPS_Default.off

At both ends of the airport are still in the water strip to see with the banks texture that can be eliminated as follow:

FTX_VECTOR\FTX_VECTOR_CVX\scenery\

(before)

4320_WTR_Waterbodies.bgl (change extension from .bgl to .off)

That's all.

If you use MyTraffic, rename this file extension from .bgl to .off;

FSX\Scenery\world\scenery\BR2_LPPS.BGL

That will prevent any issues with airplanes sunken into the tarmac. However, if you use the latest MyTraffic X Professional 5.4c, the last step should not be necessary.

Hi Johnny,

I just followed your description, and the situation got slightly better for me: from no buildings it changed to hovering buildings. So the elevation is still not ok.

Do you, or anyone else, might have a clue or a link the to your FTX forum post?

FTX Compatibility Forum, but it wont let me post the link here for some reason. Just search for "Strange problem at Madeira Airport" as the subject.

Before I left for the day I made some advances by flipping g with the Orbx Vector files (not as described above), but still have a small hight problem. I will continue to flip around tomorrow.

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Almost two years dealing with the unfortunately famous Madeira X issue and the solution was so simple as rename two files from .bgl to .off

THANK YOU Johnny! :ididit_s:
