moggy72 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Gents Just purchased Wales (courtesy of the FSS sale - nice work!!) and I notice I now have duplicated files re some of the airports that "crossed over" in both Eng & Wales. For example - re Welshpool airport (EGCW) alone - I now have the following files active in FSX: ADE_FTX_ENG_EGCW.bgl (in FSX\ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY) ADE_FTX_WLS_EGCW.bgl (in FSX\ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_WLS_05_SCENERY) ADE_FTX_ENG_EGCW_CVX (in FSX\ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY) ADE_FTX_WLS_EGCW_CVX (in FSX\ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_WLS_05_SCENERY) FTX_ENG_EGCW_objects (in FSX\ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_ENG_05_SCENERY) FTX_WLS_EGCW_objects (in FSX\ORBX\FTX_EU\FTX_EU_WLS_05_SCENERY) Surely I should have only one of each as having duplicate Afcads's/ADE's is a known no-no?? Can you advise the best course of action - I presume deleting one set will do the job.....but which one - Eng or Wls? What other airports/ADE's are/were present in both packages and may have the same issue? Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Webster Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi, no need to delete anything, i was told its fine as long as they are identical files and no errors were reported when testing. If you discover any errors please report them. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moggy72 Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Paul Thanks again for the swift response. That answer seems fine as all of the duplicates are the same size except for the FTX_ENG_EGCW_objects and FTX_WLS_EGCW_object bgl's. The English file is 9kb and the Welsh file is 11kb so they are obviously different in some way and not identical - will that have any impact?

Paul Webster Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi, I will enquire why the size is different but it only an object file so won't cause any problems. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moggy72 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Paul Was there ever anything further on this i.e. why the file sizes are different?? From what I can tell, the WLS object files are always larger than the corresponding duplicated ENG object files. Clarification would be good here as there are 5 (as far as I can see) of these duplicate airports (Filton/Hawarden/Shobden/Tilstock/Welshpool) that probably shouldn't be duplicated and I don't want to delete one set of files that may cause some obscure problem further down the line with a patch/update.

Paul Webster Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi Its all fine as is, there is a small difference in objects in the WLS versions but this doesn't cause any problems and you don't need to delete anything. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
