Mac6737 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 OK, so it's freeware, but no matter what I do, the airstrip is in a deep hole -- virtually unflyable. See pic I shall try to attach. Yeah, I searched and found someone with the same issue (with screenshot), whose issue was resolved by running autoconfig in Vector. Didn't work for me. Then I looked in Vector/config/AEC and changed YMUI from Disabled to Enabled. Still didn't work. This was after the Orbx update for YMUI, and after I had tried all variations before running autoconfig. Here's the good thing: It's not the end of the world. Any ideas?

Stewart Hobson Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello! Have run the AEC tool in Vector and disabled YMUI? It appears that should fix things. I have the elevation disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, it didn't work when disabled, so I enabled it and it still didn't work. Anyway, I'll disable it again. (What was that definition of "insanity" again?)

No, I did not forget to click "Apply." And I got the prompt saying I had been successful. But here's an afterthought: Maybe it's supposed to be as in my screenshot? I'm attaching an aerial view, and I have by now succeeded in taking off and landing (well, sorta, except for the nose plant). The write-up says it's supposed to be challenging. OTOH, who would pave an airport in a hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello Mac, There is an error somewhere for both of us. For me loading at YMUI cause FSX to CTD, that I have to sort out. But in P3Dv4 it looks great. The widsock is buried in tha bank to the right in your pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr.eg Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hi, I've reported the pb about CTD for YMUI in FSX for your information: https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/179572-ymui-crashes-fsx-to-desktop-with-auv2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger, To be clear, I am running P3dv4. That's why I first posted this in the P3D forum, but the powers that be moved it to Freeware. I can't imagine why my windsock is buried (and the chain link fence is too, in part). It should work with the AEC either Enabled or Disabled.

Nick Cooper Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello, although I did not personally do it, it makes perfect sense to move a question about a freeware airport to the freeware forum. In my simulator, the airport works exactly as Tim Harris intended when the Vector AEC for YMUI is disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all I have done. I wasn't sure how to do what he said, but . . . PROBLEM SOLVED! I went to Orbx Central YMUI, "verify files," and ticked the unticked box to activate the Aus v. 2 scenery. Who knew? (I had installed the Aus v. 2 before downloading YMUI.) Life is still not perfect, however. You mentioned a buried windsock. The chain link fence is now above grade, but still no windsock. Also, those little guys who are supposed to be walking around on the tarmac are apparently off duty. I'll have to go look for the birds that used to be there.

Just to make sure I've been following instructions: That's what you did? Tick what control box? BEFORE you install the YMUI scenery, there's no control box to tick, right? So you can only tick it AFTER you've installed, which is what I did. (I assume the only tick we're talking about here is the one to enable AUv.2, which appears in all my Aussie airport scenery Configure options.)

It should have read to install AUv2 before installing YMUI and then tick the AUv2 box in the YMUI Control Panel. Smudger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholay Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I am sorry - but where exactly is that magic 'AUv2' box in the YMUI Control Panel? I do not seem to have one. And obviously I have the very same issue - the runway is in the deep canyon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholay Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hehe, disregard. Only AFTER I posted this I realized I do not have ORBX Central yet Apparently I had to post it to get enlightment Cheers! & Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Also, once you have Orbx Central, you can update the airport and you will then see the AU v2 option at the top of your control panel. You will of course have to tick it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
