B77X Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 After running the latest freeware North American airport pack update, I have some duplicate files installed, for example here is the airport CED3 ADEX_FTX_FTXG_CED3 and ADE_FTX_FTXG_CED3 The same happens for some other airports so far I have found CED3, CED5, CEF3, CEN2, CEW5, CFD4, CJE3, CVL2, CYMJ, CYXE, CYYQ ADEX is the newer version is it safe to delete the ADE files? Also CYCB airport was not found by the AEC scanner the Vector bgl files were not disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hill Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi B77x, I would say its safe to remove the older files. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I do show CYCB in my enabled AEC list and CYCB looked OK here so it doesn't look like it needs to be disabled. I got this info from Larry and passed it on in the airport listing. Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sorry about the duplicate files. I think the most recent files before the new group were ADEX so the ADE may have been there for a while. Do delete the older files. CYCB should have the AEC enabled as it was not possible to use the original FSX elevation - It looks much better with the new elevation.

B77X Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 My AEC scanner does not disable AEC for CYCB, even though the CYCB afcad bgl file is in the ORbx freeware folder. Strange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Actually its not uncommon for the Auto Configuration scan to miss airports that still require being disabled manually. Just look at the text file that lists the latest Global Freeware airports. Six airports in the new batch need to be manually disabled in the VECTOR Configuration Tool. I Ran the Autoconfig after installing the latest Global Airports but it missed the six airports noted to be disabled in the .txt file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if Vector doesn't detect an elevation problem, ie, if Vector's elevation data agrees with FSX Default's data. If Orbx (or another developer, like FSDT) uses different elevation data, then there are elevation errors which must be corrected manually. Thus, the note to disable AEC of certain airports in that list of NA Freeware airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryisenor Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 The files have been fixed to eliminate duplicate bgl files. If you have SoCal region installed just delete the entire folder and reinstall. If you don't have SoCal and have duplicate files the installer will not reinstall SoCal area airports so you may have to delete some duplicate files manually. All the new files use ADE not ADEX.

Captain Z Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 After reading this thread, I checked my FTXG_AIRPORTS folder and found a bunch of ADEX files. So I need to delete all of these ? Or am I supposed to delete the folder and FTX central will reinstall, or I need to DL the US pack separately ? I have SoCal installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryisenor Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 You could check if you have duplicates. Some people have reported problems although not everyone. Some of the older files do have ADEX. If you have no duplicates (CED3, CED5, CEF3, CEN2, CEW5, CFD4, CJE3, CVL2, CYMJ, CYXE, CYYQ ) leave them alone. If you do and have So Cal installed I would just delete the FTXG_AIRPORTS folder and reinstall the freeware airports. The new file should have no duplicates but does not include the old SoCal freeware airports. Larry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B77X Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Latest installer has the same issue with CYMJ it installs both an ADE and ADEX bgl file for this airport CYYQ still not fixed. Also has ADE and ADEX files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryisenor Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yes you can delete the ADEX files if they are duplicates. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
