Bruce R Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm using W10, P3D V4.5. I have a number of Orbx sceneries installed including Australia V2 and Alice Springs. I haven't opened up Alice Springs for a couple of months. There were never any problems with it. Yesterday I went to load a flight from there and chose one of the gates. I was positioned facing the correct way, but just off the edge of the runway, nowhere near the apron. All the gate positions were similar. This occurs with third party and default aircraft. AI aircraft are also being placed incorrectly. If I load a flight to begin on the runway itself, it loads positioned correctly. I can load a flight at the gate if I open GSX and use "Just Warp Me There". However, doing that leaves AI aircraft still parked on the edge of the runway. The aircraft tails are virtually hanging over the edge. I have "Verify Files" for both AUv2 and YBAS which didn't work. I have un-installed both and re-installed. No luck there also. GSX uses: Orbx\FTX_AU\FTXAA_YBAS\Scenery\ORBX_YBAS_APX_AUv2.bgl. A search on this forum doesn't bring up anything similar. Anyone have any further ideas? Sorry but I did attempt to download a couple of screen shots but they were larger than permitted. Bruce R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hello, the problem with your screen shots can be resolved this way: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hello, to answer the support question, I cannot replicate this, although I confess that I have not tried all of the 38 possible start locations. Please make sure that your Alice Springs addon is above AU Australia v2 in your scenery library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce R Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hello Nick. Thanks for the replies. I've only tried the gate positions so I'm not sure where all the other the parking positions will take you. I managed to get some screenshots in via IMGUR - thanks for the hint. I checked my scenery and AUv2 is at the bottom of my Orbx list. There's quite a few Orbx airports above the 10 FTXAUv2 entries, then there is a few Orbx's above YBAS with ORBXLIBS at the top. There's more 3rd party scenery above the LIBS. Shot 1 shows the PMDG 737 supposingly at one of the gates. There's another AI Fokker aircraft there as will. Shot 2 shows the default Maule with an AI 737 in the back ground. Shot 3 shows the Maule again with the taxi parking lines there as well. As you probably know the gates are actually over by the trees in this shot.

Nick Cooper Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hello, thanks. Are you using any other addons for the area, or a navigation data update, or even AI software that could be adding these spurious parking areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce R Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 No other add ons. Just AUv2 and Orbx YBAS, and other Orbx airfields. Interesting you mentioned navigation update because if you recall I had trouble with Coffs Harbour giving double textures a while back. On your suggestion it turned out to be Aerosors combined with Coffs Harbour’s two names. I now use FSAerodata and have the latest AIRAC installed. I’m not at my flightsim computer at the moment but when I am, I’ll reinstall the previous AIRAC and see if that changes things. I’ll keep in touch.

Bruce R Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 I just re-read your reply. Regarding AI software, yes I do have Traffic Global installed. That could well be the culprit. As I said, I’ll get back … Bruce R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce R Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 I un-installed Traffic Global and made sure it was deleted in the P3D scenery. Parking at Alice Springs gates problem still persists. Reverted to the previous FSAerodata AIRAC and problem's still there. It was only a matter of a few weeks back when I loaded an aircraft at one of the gates. Since then I've done nothing in the flightsim, that I can think of, that could have affected the ability to load a flight at a gate at Alice Springs. This one has me scratching my head. Hopefully there is an easy solution out there ... Bruce R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hello, can you put YBAS right at the top of your scenery library and try it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce R Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hello Nick. I placed YBAS directly under ORBXLIBS and it made no difference. I even placed it right at the top of my scenery above several 3rd party sceneries and it's still the same. Aircraft still load on the edge of the runway adjacent to the gates. Odd!

Some were just fine. Broome (YBRM) had terrible elevation problems plus misplaced parking. Norfolk Island (YSNF), although not an Orbx airfield, didn't exist from the air, but further down it was in a large hole. Anyway, to cut a frustrating story short, tonight I updated my FSAerodata and Navigraph AIRACS, and low and behold, all my scenery is now back to normal. Thanks Nick for your input.
