SOAR Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi, I just bought and installed Southern California. Sadly the Las Vegas buildings on the Strip are missing. They are present in the photo in the User Guide so I don't understand why they are not there. The buildings and structures which were present in the default FSX scenery are also missing (e.g. mini Eiffel Tower). Instead of the buildings and structures found on the Strip in Las Vegas there are some generic autogen buildings now. Please help me get the proper buildings and structures on the Strip. Thank you.

SOAR Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Please see the two images I have attached. The first one shows the Strip of Las Vegas empty of its hotels and other structures when Southern California is installed. The second one is the FSX default scenery of the Strip with hotels and other structures. The FTX should be better than the default but it is worse! Please help. Thank you.

Nick Cooper Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hello, This is a replica of your screen shot,FSX already contains an upgraded Las Vegas, please check you scenery library order. For you, SCA seems to be excluding the default ground polygon and the default buildings. SCA installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAR Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi Nick, thank you for your helpful reply. I have attached a screenshot of my Scenery Library current order below. What is the correct order? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 That does looks about right. The buildings are stored in Scenery\NAMW\scenery\LasVegas.bgl and the ground polygon is stored in Scenery\Cities\LasVegas\scenery\Las_vegas.bgl. Both of these are default files and nothing to do with FTX. I find that if I disable both files, the ground polygon and buildings do not appear whether SCA is active or not, so I must conclude that they are not included in or affected by SCA. I can only suggest that you try re-installing SCA. Here is a series of illustrations Default FSX, Scenery\Cities\LasVegas\scenery\Las_vegas.bgl disabled, SCA disabled. Default FSX, Scenery\Cities\LasVegas\scenery\Las_vegas.bgl and Scenery\NAMW\scenery\LasVegas.bgl disabled, SCA disabled. Default FSX, Scenery\Cities\LasVegas\scenery\Las_vegas.bgl enabled, Scenery\NAMW\scenery\LasVegas.bgl disabled, SCA disabled. Both default files enabled, SCA disabled. Default files and SCA enabled.

Now the buildings of the Strip in Las Vegas are visible but there are mounds on the runway and taxiways at the airport! How do I fix it? Thank you.

Nick Cooper Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Have you any other scenery for Las Vegas that might have left an elevation adjustment file in scenery\world\scenery? If you search for KLAS you should find only ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS_elevation_adjustment.BGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only ADE_FTX_SCA_KLAS_elevation_adjustment.BGL What should I do? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 If you have Vector, you could try disabling AEC for KLAS perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have SCA and Orbx Libraries. Now the Strip buildings have vanished again but the mounds from the runway and taxiways are gone! Here is a screenshot of my scenery libraries order: How do I fix it? Is the order correct? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAR Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 It's working now! I have no idea why. Thank you for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
