[FSX] Taxi signs disappear

[titanion]

Hi! Well, I'm making the Pamplona Airport (LEPP) with Sketchup, X-Converter, X.Library and ADE. I have finished the Terminal 1 and included the .BGL in my ADE aiport but the problem is that when I add the scenary to FSX, taxi signs don't appear! It's quite weird, because everything else is OK, the terminal, new vehicles, new gates etc, but even the signs that were included in the FSX airport (I'm making the new airport using the "old" FSX file) disappear. Any ideas?
PS: I've seen that many people add their scenaries without using the Add-On Scenary folder, do I need an XML file or .CFG file to do it?

Do you have the taxi signs in the ADE project?

[titanion]

Yep. Apart form the "classic" ones (for instance the red sign runwat 16) I added another ones for the taxiways or also to indicate where is the gas station.
PS: I have FSX Standard Edition + Acceleration and I use an SDK folder that I get from the net, but the paths are correctly configured.

Can you please zip up and attach your ADE project file (.ad2 extension) to a post here so that we can see what it contains.

Also I am not sure what you neam by SDK from the net. If you have the acceleration pack then that DVD contains it. I assume you are not using an FS9 SDK for FSX?

[titanion]

OK. I attach it. The point about the SDK is that the Aceleration pack didn't allow me to install the SDK pack because it said that I needed the previous version (I followed the instructions from the wiki but didn't worked) so I dowloaded a kind of folder with the FSX SDK files on it (but many of the normal features don't work, I can only do the BGLcompiler and Vec2Shape tasks...)
Thanks for all

You need to first install the SDK from the FSX disk before installing the SDK from the Acceleration disk.

Yeah, but according to this "http://fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=SDK_Installation_%28FSX%29" I should be able to install without problems from the Acceleration Pack having FSX Standard. And I can't and I am not very enthusiatic of buying FSX again.

By the way, I managed to get FSX Deluxe and I installed the SDK. After that I put the Acceleration Disk and I tried to install the SDK and it worked!

How's going the sign stuff? Anybody has found something strange? Thanks in advance!

I think you need to tell us more of what your problem is. I compiled your airport project and put the Bgl file into Addon Scenery\scenery. All your signs are present:



Can you confirm that they are missing in FSX or is it that you cannot see them in ADE?

It's solved!!! . Thanks! It should be a problem of the SDK file. However, there still being a little problem. FSX doesn't allow me to add the airport folder, I can only display the scenary adding it to the Add-On Folder. Is it normal?

Hello Titanio, tienes que activar el escenario en la libreria de escenerios, si tienes Windows7, hay un truco y es que tienes que pinchar sobre la ventana no sobre la carpeta directamente, es un bug, seguro que el tema ya esta por ahi en la red.cualquier duda pregunta en "private messages" saludos.
You have to have your own sencery folders, Pamplona, and in there, the scenery folder and texture folder and activate in the scenery library.

About the taxi signs, all i know is maybe the delete and write settings left them out or deleted them without writing them.

About the folders, i just use the addon scenery folder, but you could make a folder of whatever title you want as long as you activate it in fsx. I am not sure how one would go about placing them in the default folders that contain stock files for airports and such.
