Sounds great Mathijs, thanks again!

Thanks Mathijs. With the number of airports I have from you, it's hard to remember the exact titles as I'm sure you can imagine.

As the topic suggests, please include what simulator updates are for when sending out updates like the one below.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I'm on the latest version available via Orbx Central which I just checked is 2.0.7. In the past, I installed SAM outside Orbx Central but lately, it's very easy and convenient to have Orbx Central handle it. So are you saying the issue I'm reporting here has been addressed in the version you refer to?

I've noticed this at some airports, Malaga being one of them how the SAM jetway status icon shows even when I have configured it to be hidden. Why is that?

Just realized there is a 2.07 version of Zurich for X-Plane. I was on 2.06 and completely missed this 2.07 update. Or was it even announced? Because usually, I'll get email notification for these kind of updates.

Cool, I'll try that. Thanks!

Yesterday, I installed your new Paderborn scenery. Is it somehow possible to activate/deactivate the scenery in MSFS without uninstalling the scenery to be able to compare it to the default Paderborn scenery?

111.15 inbound course 055

Paderborn doesn't have a RW27. If you meant RW24, the ILS freq is 108.55 and the inbound course 235.

Got it. Would have made sense IMO though to see the content you've installed regardless of developer.

I ran the installer and didn't have any visible issues. One thing I like to ask though. I was expecting to find the installed scenery in the content manager in MSFS but failed to find it in there. Like everyone else, it's very early days for me using MSFS but I thought the idea behind the content manager was for you to see content you installed in an easy way?

As the impatient guy I am 😉, I went ahead and looks like I manged to follow your instructions. Just started up X-Plane at Paderborn and everything is looking good and no more error messages. Brilliant 👍 Many thanks as always for your top-notch support!

I've now downloaded the correct Paderborn SAM seasons pack. For the installation, I take it I simply need to copy the Custom Scenery folder found in the package into the main X-Plane 11 folder? Then when you say I shouldn't active Spring, Autumn, Winter or Deepwinter, does that mean I need to enable Summer for this fix to work? Up until now I have never touched any of these things. I guess enabling the Ortho color option might be a good thing though considering I'm using Ortho all over Europe as previously mentioned. I guess I don't have to do anything since you said the scenery will default to summer.

I wasn't sure where to download it from since I've never used it until now. Went into my Aerosoft shop account and found it as part of the Newcastle scenery as seen here. Didn't realize the package was different for different products. This explains the difference in size. Just checked the package for Paderborn which is 3.7 GB. Will delete the one I just downloaded and get the one for Paderborn instead 👍

Wow, just found out the SAM seasons package is about 8 GB. Oh well, I'll just leave it and have some dinner while waiting for the download to finish 😄

OK, I'll give it a go and let you know if I have any issues or questions. Thanks buddy!

So, just to make sure I understand what you say correctly. Even when I don't use the Colors & Seasons option in SAM (since I have complete Ortho4XP photo scenery for all of Europe and hence don't bother with seasons for local airports), I still need to download the seasons package and install it to make the new version of Paderborn work correctly? If that is the case, I might go back using the old version instead. No super big deal to me since Paderborn isn't my most frequently visited airports. Also, I didn't miss anything really in the previous versions where I didn't have this issue. I just double-checked how SAM is configured over here in regards of seasons and as seen, it appears to be all disabled.

Updated Paderborn to 1.01 the other day and today on my way from EKBI-LSZH, I had an error message popping up in X-Plane as seen below 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: | There was a problem loading the scenery package: 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: | Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/ 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: | The scenery may not look correct. 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: | Please see the Log.txt file for detailed error information. 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: | (REN_graphstate_terrain.cpp:722) 0:59:48.645 E/SYS: +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking log.txt, I also find numerous error messages looking like this 0:59:48.645 E/SCN: Failed to find resource '../Normals/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0011.dds', referenced from file 'Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/'. 0:59:48.645 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0011.pol:9: 0:59:48.645 E/SCN: Unable to locate normal map texture: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/ 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Failed to find resource '../Normals/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0010.dds', referenced from file 'Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/'. 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0010.pol:9: 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Unable to locate normal map texture: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/ 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Failed to find resource '../Normals/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0009.dds', referenced from file 'Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/'. 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0009.pol:9: 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Unable to locate normal map texture: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/ 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Failed to find resource '../Normals/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0008.dds', referenced from file 'Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/'. 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0008.pol:9: 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Unable to locate normal map texture: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/ 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Failed to find resource '../Normals/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0007.dds', referenced from file 'Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/'. 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/EDLP_DOP30_WGS84_0008_0007.pol:9: 0:59:48.675 E/SCN: Unable to locate normal map texture: Custom Scenery/Aerosoft - EDLP Paderborn - 2 - Airport/OrthoTiles/Summer/ Not sure if I missed anything during the installation?

When posting about newly released products, don't you think it would make sense to include a link to the product page?

Checking out the 2.06 update, all in all it looks really nice but one thing I've noticed is how there are a number of lights that are either misplaced or of wrong type. This mainly seems to be an issue at runway intersections/entries/exits. Below are a couple of examples. There might be more that I missed. B1 - should be closer to the grass edge or changed to the sunken into ground type of lights B9 - Same thing E3 - Same thing H1 - Quite scary if this would be IRL. Especially considering this is a high speed exit and one of the most commonly used at Zurich H2 - This is what it should look like, using sunken into the ground lights L9 - Same issue as the others

Many thanks Heinz 🙂

Reason I have it set to 200% is if set to 100%, everything gets so small it's hard to see. I did try setting it to 100% but to no avail. However, I still think what I see is caused by the UI not being able to handle scaling. I've seen this with some other UIs and also seen how those have been fixed once the developer makes sure to create the UI to fully support scaling and being resized. Obviously, this really is a minor issue since you'll only be using the UI when installing the scenery. Would still be nice though of course if it could be fixed.

Hi Heinz, I'm pretty confident this isn't an X-Plane setting issue but more a Windows issue. Or more specifically, if you would ask the developer of the UI for the setup program for Zurich if the UI fully supports scaling in Windows 10, I'm guessing the answer will be 'No'. Which is the problem I think. Anyway, here is what my graphics tab looks like in X-Plane. Not fully sure what setting you're referring to but again, since the installation program for Zurich is launched outside of X-Plane, I don't see how any settings in X-Plane would affect this. Maybe I misunderstand you in some way? Ah! Now I found the setting you're referring to when watching my own screenshot. As seen, it's set to 100%. Here's another screenshot with the Windows display settings I'm referring to. Which I think is what's really causing the issue with the UI. Since it doesn't look to follow Windows standards but looks more like some custom made UI.
