Ripcord Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Have you tried the old version? I doubt honestly that the compatibility has changed that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaab Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 V5 creates a lot of problem with default airports appearing under added sceneries. Just take a look at PNW CBB7 as an exemple. Hope that the next HF will improve.. Default CBB7 PNW CBB7 Gérard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerclaw Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 For what it’s worth, I tried a little experiment to see if ANY of these global freeware airports were compatible in v5, and my results weren’t promising at all. Every one I looked at had double buildings, misplaced static objects, and didn’t look quite right. Ive disabled them for now, and will await any updated versions in the future. My personal thoughts are it will be an immense amount of work for Orbx to get these looking right. I wouldn’t blame them if they didn’t bother to be honest.

gregmorin Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The main issue I found with the global freeware airports is the stock airports building showing through. It looks like this is a P3DV5 issue. You can delete the stock airport buildings using ADE if you are comgortablw with that. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerclaw Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I looked into this deleting stock airports, unfortunately, the way P3Dv5 have done the scenery, you end up losing other stuff as well. It really is a major hassle I can’t be bothered with. Being as I’m not that bright lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen from above, I get the same view. But did you try starting from runway 29 ? The result is "surprising". There are two levels. The start is under the surface you see from airborne. just few meters above And you should try to take off from runway 11, the result is in French "renversant" : stunning and sometime collapsing... Sorry, I was not able to take a screenshot of that collapse... Gérard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have Orbx Global, OpenLC NA, PNW and Orbx airports in that area. Searching *CBB7* I have ADE_FTX_PNW_CBB7_Tipella_CVX.bgl in PNW After cross checking with p3dv4, I discovered that "ADE_FTX_PNW_CBB7_Tipella.BGL" was missing in my V5 ! Don't know what happened - Thanks for bringing my attention on that point. Problem solved - I will do a verify files in case of other missing files (I pretty sure that I am the culprit ) Gérard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM added a lot of new buildings, even on old airports, it needs new kind exclusions and blocking. Pity that many old sceneries needs to be updated for this. Its a lot of work again. I did it for few airports more important for me (freeware addons also) manually. Maybe Orbx for Freeware Airports set will do it automatically to save many time (if the process like this exists).

The stock airports are often awful, and we are all spoiled, aren't we, with good renditions. The freeware airports often had a nice flavor and personality to them. So, "light payware package", is something I absolutely "can haz". Or free. Don't mind that either. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reecemj Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 The freeware airports was Neil Hill project with the help of a few others. I request my local airport KSGR and it was in his next release. Yep I miss Neil. Quote from Holger Sandmann : As you may or may not know Neil was our ultimate "airport enhancement machine", tirelessly working on transforming the lifeless and often incorrect default airports into much more realistic renditions. We don't have a full tally of his work for Orbx but we're talking many thousands of airports for the FTX Regions alone. And when he wasn't working on the payware commitments he completed yet more content for the ever-growing FTX Global Airport freeware package. In short, if you're visiting many of our FTX Region or freeware airports you're looking at Neil's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Correia Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 We will be making this pack available for P3Dv5 as is and without updates to the existing pack. One of our thoughts is invite the community that are familiar with ADE to update any issues that are seen in P3Dv5. One the original contributors, lifejogger (John Barner), is adding some African airports to this pack so we hope to have a smallish update soon.

I have created 4 airports for Africa using ADE and Instant scenery. These airports were created in FSX and then copied to P3D v4 because Instant Scenery does not work in P3d V4. I do not know if they will work in P3d V5 (I only have V4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaha Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Zell am See (LOWZ), part of the P3D V4 freeware airport pack is now sold for MSFS. I live in the area and got it. Very nice.. So this leads me to a question, two questions actually: Would LOWZ also be available for P3D V5? If yes, I would also buy it. If I own content for MSFS, would the same content for P3D be discounted, as is the case vice versa? Thx, Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Zell am See was not made by Orbx but by Gaya. So if there will be a discount and if it eventually will be released for P3d5 you should better ask in the Gaya forum. LG nach Zell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaha Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Thank you You are right, Gaya is the developer. But as it is sold by Orbx I thought I ask here because Orbx would set prices and conditions. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I download it for v5 if you are making it available as is? Tried a the maual download button for v4 but that link does not work.
