dandis 1 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hello, I have receved a mail from Simmarket informing me for a free update for Aerosoft Hamburg airport for FSX-Steam too. As you can see in the attached screenshots, this is the result after installing the new updated scenery. Even if it's free, it doesn't look optimal. Someone has the same problem, or can tell me how to correct this? Thanks a lot and best regards. Daniel Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Galax17 10 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Heres some more questions. Shall you uninstall the old version or not? This update is only 1/3 in size. Im siiting with 2 entries in scenery library now. It works though. As for FSX:SE you shall choose FSX if you never had FSX on your computer? Or it doesnt matter which install you choose? I have FSX:SE and choose FSX install. Thanks for the now working jetways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted January 10, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 10, 2017 It is always good practice to uninstall a previous version first. That enables the installer afterwards to perform a complete new setup rather than an update. That comes with much less chances for problems during the process. Regarding the FSX:SE question: If your computer never saw any FSX installation, then the FSX:SE installer uses the default FSX folder names for all folders to be created. Therefore you should choose FSX in that case. If there was an FSX installed previously (even if it has been uninstalled again), then FSX:SE installer will use it's own folder names for all folders to be created. Therefore you should choose FSX:SE in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandis 1 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Thank you for your comments, but I don't have an answer to my problem. I have uninstalled the first scenery and then installed the new one in Fsx-Se folder. Any help please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfred Tamminga 0 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 And a third question to the new installation. You mentioned new signs,..... but this does not inclued the new taxiway names (eg. Z1,..) and gate names at the Terminal (from 1A to 7B) which can be find in the new navigraph charts, right....?

I've the German Airports 3 package but the updated version is only for hamburg (i looked in the download section at the forum as well as in the user center). If i would uninstall "German Airports 3" and only install hamburg i would assume that all my other airports from the GAP3 package were gone or am i wrong here? So how should i update now?

When I wrote my previous answer I hadn't seen the new installer myself and assumed it would be a new one for the entire GAP3 package. Only later I saw that it is just the Hamburg one. In this case you leave your current installation of course untouched and just start the new installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tom, i tried what you suggested - after the installation had finished i had two sceneries in my library (German Airports 3 and German Airport 3 - Hamburg). Unfortunately i've some issues with the gates: Option 1: I let both sceneries activated Result: I can see the gates but if i try to dock one of them (STRG+J) a message appears "You must be in an airport parking space to request a fuel truck or jetway" (see http://prnt.sc/du0r59). Also i found duplicate objects (see http://prnt.sc/du0rpm) Option 2: I disable "German Airports 3" (which is nothing i want to do as my other sceneries from the GAP 3 package are disabled also) Result: I can't see any of the gates (see http://prntscr.com/du0sc5) I'm on Prepar3D 3.4.18 (latest version). I've already tried to disable all other sceneries and had only "Aerosoft AFD" and "German Airports 3 - Hamburg" activated but the issue remains the same. I also noticed that the numbers of the gates are still wrong (the first gate at terminal 1 is still "4" but it has to be "1A/1/1B" according to the charts.

dandis 1 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 I can't believe that what seems to be a simple update can cause so many problems with textures, install and uninstall the scenery, more the time lost in the forum for nothing. This not very serious from an important society like Aerosoft. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted January 11, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sorry guys, I can't provide any more detailed help on EDDH at the moment as I wasn't able to do the update myself to get an idea of all logical connections.

I uninstalled it and re-installed it as FSX, and voila!!! textures are back. Of course gate numbering problem remains.... Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandis 1 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks, I have also only FSX-SE and I then will try to reinstall it to FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted January 11, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 11, 2017 There is something you need to know about FSX:SE: if you install FSX:SE on a system where there had never been an FSX installed, the FSX:SE installer uses the original FSX folder names if you install FSX:SE on a system where there had been or still is an FSX installed, the FSX:SE installer uses it's own folder names So, if you want to install add-ons into an FSX:SE you need to select FSX (as installed sim) in the first case select FSX:SE (as installed sim) in the second case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandis 1 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Thanks Tom. My FSX SE has been installed alone, after I had deinstall my FSX boxed edition. But my scenery.cfg is under FSX folder name. Should I then install add-ons under FSX ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aua122 0 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi, for me, the update seems to work. Here is, what i did: System: Windows 10 Prepar3d 3.4 with latest hotfix no GA 3 2012 preinstalled if you have GA 3 already installed continue with step 3.) 1.) Activated Folder redirection with p3d Migration tool from Flightsim Estonia 2.) Installed German Airports 3 2012 3.) deactivated Folder redirection with p3d Migration tool from Flightsim Estonia 4.) installed German Airports 3 2012 Update Hamburg After the Installation my Sim-structure changed like this: GA 3 was installed into P3D_Mainfolder\Aerosoft\German Airports 3 2012 GA 3 Hamburg update was installt into P3D_Mainfolder\Ecosystem\Aerosoft Aets continue with the Installation: 5.) i went to the GA 3 Folder (P3D_Mainfolder\Aerosoft\German Airports 3 2012\Scenery 6.) cut all files with "EDDH" and pasted into a backup Folder (you can rename the files, but cut them out is much faster:)) 7.) Opened P3D loaded EDDH, looked fine:) 8.) checked the scenery library order and put EDDH above German Airports (dont think it is mandatory but i did it anyway) 9.) loaded Airport at day and night, and didn't notice any Problems, runway lights are there - Looks good I'm not sure about the afcad file, as i did a flight from LOWW to EDDH, i was not able to choose gate 1,2 or 3 with GSX. And choosing gate 4 with GSX brought me to Gate 7 in the scenery, but it could be a Problem of gsx. The framerate was ok - in heavy weather conditions (3 layers of Clouds (overcast conditions), snow) i got an average fps of 25. But there is ton of Autogenbuildings around the Airport so i think its ok. Maybe this helps some of you, happy landings Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandis 1 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 It works now for me, selecting FSX to install the update instead of FSX-SE. On the other hand I have no tarmac vehicles traffic, but it doesn't matter. Jetways works automatic. Regards. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkterry 0 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi Tom I already installed the German Airports - 3 (2012) bundle in FSX, so what should I need to do to install the new version of Hamburg. Just run the new Hamburg or before that delete all EDDH files in German Airports 3 first. Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted January 14, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 14, 2017 The new installer should do that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verified Developer OPabst 2091 Posted January 14, 2017 Verified Developer Share Posted January 14, 2017 vor 26 Minuten, Tom A320 sagte: The new installer should do that for you. Yes, but only for FSX, maybe for FSX:SE, not for P3D The old GAP3 installer was only available for FSX, maybe usable for FSX:SE, but not for P3D. P3D Users, who have used migration tools or have copy manual the scenery into P3D (with temp fixes existing somewhere), needs to delete the EDDH Parts manualy from there P3D GAP3 folders. The new Installer for EDDH could not know, how the users has installed GAP3 before. Note: The actual Installer of EDDH (Version 2.00) is buggy in case of FSX:SE, because some Textures missing, result in the issue of the first post. The "Workaround" to select FSX instead is fixing this issue, but generate other issue, like missing apron traffic. A new Installer (200a) is on the way, should be availabe beginning next week. This installer should fix also same smaller issues and the new Gatenumbers for all variations of the FS (FS9,FSX,FSX:SE, P3D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
