• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Cannot find ghost building

In my FS2004 installation, default scenery folder are only the bgl's installed with the program. Those that I have found online, and now creating using ADE9X, I have added to a separate drive/folder, which have been updated in the scenery.cfg in order to load them.

I have just installed ADE9X, and trying to install Michael J. Smith Airport in Beaufort, NC. I have opened the stock file for this airport and, without any changes, compiled the bgl for it in my separate installed drive.

My current problem, is that there is a building running directly across one of the runways, which I am unable to find or remove. If I remove the new stock bgl (along with other new installs that might effect this area - North Carolina and US meshes), it still displays that building, however the terrain is just a wide concrete area. Red arrows on attached, shows a number of unknown buildings.

If I add back the new Smith stock airport bgl, the runways and buildings are then returned, with the building across the runway still there. I have checked all buildings that exist on the stock file, and there are no buildings in that area, so apparently it is coming from one of the files installed with the program.

Can anyone suggest a way that I might be able to find this building so I can remove it?:banghead:

Didn't find where my errant buildings came from, but I did get rid of them. They were from somewhere in the new airport files that I had installed. After removing all of them, the buildings disappeared. Installed each one back in turn, checking on the buildings returning, however they never did after installing them all back.

Obviously I missed a file or had an extra one or something. Anyway, I'm ok on this, so this can be closed. If anyone has any ideas of finding problems like this through some quicker method, I would be glad to hear it.

Thanks,:)
