hralphbuk Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 When starting a flight from this airport in FSX I am always placed on a runway never at a gate. The gates are showing down the slope in the scenery OK, but none show when selecting a start location.in FSX. Same goes for FS Commander after updating the data base manager. Is there a fix for this please? Finally bearing in mind my purchases where should I place it in the scenery library? Thank you Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzombie Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hello; If I'm not mistaken,there is an option to either start at a gate,or the runway,using Free Flight. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi stu Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 The gates are just numbers in the FSX drop down list. One will put you at the air bridge and the other down at the parking area. Check out the 2 runway numbers..the other numbers will be your gates Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sieggie Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 They used runway start objects for parking instead of Gates or Parking spot object so the they show as if they are runways. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hralphbuk Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Guys Only the runway numbers show when selecting. There are no others showing so I cannot chose. Any thoughts to correct will be appreciated. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romoni Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi! Choose runway / starting position -> Choose 1 or 2 11 / 27 are the runways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ketchikan SP1 by ORBX is a special way of making the airport to have the multi-level topography that exists in real life at the airport. Because of the way the scenery was made there is no way the AI can use the sloping taxiways to and from the runway. This is why AI A/C land and disappear never taxiing to the terminal and there are no selectable parking spots using ORBX's PAKT SP1 airport.

Holger Sandmann Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Howard, all the Orbx FTX airport and region entries automatically sort themselves into the correct order. Just make sure that both openLC and Vector entries are below (= at lower display priority) the FTX block. Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in fact FTX Central sorts them the way it thinks is the best... upside down - based on display priority this is how FTX Central sorts them out everytime I validate scenery.cfg: (based on display priority - reading scenery.cfg from below to top) openLC FTX areas and airports Tongass X higher priority Tongass X lower priority Some stock FSX entries ORBX Vector (between Base and Africa) ORBX Vector AEC (between Default Terrain & Default Scenery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holger Sandmann Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hi there, looks like you didn't set the insertion point correctly then; see http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/81837-how-to-quickly-move-the-olc-entries-in-the-fsx-scenery-library-screen/ and http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/28291-adding-a-scenery-library-insertion-point-ftxcentral-step-by-step/ Cheers, Holger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
