Runway Ghosting

[Ex ANZ Eng]

Hi Rob,

I have just done a complete FS9 re-install on to my new computer and have found that with the Malborough scenery I am getting another runway sitting above and to one side of the one from your scenery.....any ideas ?


Cheers
Phil

This is normally because of a conflicting AFCAD file. The supplied AFCAD deletes the default AFCAD, but any addon AFCAD may still show up.

I have loaded the RNZAF pack 1 & 2 Robin, could that have done it ?
Can you point me in the right direction with regards to the AFCAD name please.

Cheers

If the RNZAF package includes AFCADs, then yes, you will get a conflict.
Although AFCAD files can be called anything, they normally follow this convention:
AF2_NZWB.bgl
and are placed in Addon Scenery/scenery. (Mine isn't -- it goes in the RealNZmarl\scenery folder.)

The RNZAF pack does include a custom AFCAD for NZWB, made for RealNZ Marlborough scenery.
Search your entire flightsim folder for existing NZWB, rename them to AF2_NZWB.bak.
Put the new AFCAD into (Typically)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Addon Scenery\scenery\
Robin has a trick to make levels line up, and puts a copy of the same AFCAD in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Scenery\World\scenery\
