Dieter Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I found following files which are looking similar (or duplicate): FTX_AA_PAKT Orbx_AK1H_Ketchikan_N_Tongass_Hwy_heli_8m.BGL FTX_NA_PFJ05 ADE_FTX_PFJ_AK1H_Ketchikan_N_Tongass_Hwy_heli.BGL ADE_FTX_PFJ_AK1H_Ketchikan_N_Tongass_Hwy_heli_CVX.bgl FTX_PFJ_objects_AK1H_PLC.bgl scenery/world/scenery ADE_FTX_PFJ_PAKT_AK1H_Ketchikan_N_Tongass_Hwy_heli_8m_ALT.BGL Is that correct or do they possibly hamper each other?

Ian Routley Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 That looks right to me. Altitude adjustment file (base scenery) PFJ "basic" PAKT files (vector and airport, objects) Custom Add-on PAKT file .. Each should exclude the ones below it. Are you seeing a specific anomaly that you are concerned about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 No anomalies to be seen, I was just wondering. The reason for asking is following: After starting FSX I change the default location to airport-ID: PAKT Now, when switching ok, the FSX window shows actual location as: Ketchikan N Tongass Hwy heli Starting the flight the aircraft is set to Ketchikan airport.

Holger Sandmann Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hi Dieter, the incorrect location information is just a "cosmetic" bug not a functional one and it's not due to a coding error. Actually, something similar happens at the nearby 9C0 seaplane base. The problem is that there are four seaplane bases, two heliports, plus PAKT itself, in a very small area so their "areas of influence" overlap. I'm not positive but believe that FSX picks the location information in the airport selection menu based on the coordinates of the airport reference points, which are typically the centerpoints of the runway. It seems that at PAKT and 9C0 the reference points of those heliport files are spatially closer and thus the wrong information is displayed. However, the user aircraft is still being placed where you wanted it to. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
