• 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.

Hi,
using the tool "Simple Airport Scanner" I have to ask a second question. The readme.txt says:
SAS does not read stock airports
But in my case I think SAS does it.
SAS found i.e.:
Layer 0372 Active Yes File Name J:\....scenery\BGBW.BGBL
Layer 0037 Active Yes File Name J:\...Scenery\0401\scenery\BGBW.BGL (and this is the stock airport!)

Is it possible to make a stock airport inactive? I thought this is done with the scenery priority.
 
Stock airports are stored in files starting APX.... So what you are reporting there is not a stock airport in a stock file. You seem to have third party created bgl files in stock folders which is generally considered bad practice
 
Thank you again for the quick answer. You are right, there is a BGBW.BGL (dated 23.05.2015). I don't know how this file came in this directory. I installed in those days a greenland freeware scenery.
I opened ADE and the stockairport BGBW and the result was this airport with the hint Dir: 0401/File 3510. So I thought it is the stockairport.
I don't know why they put this BGL twice.
 
So, now I know why the designers put the BGL in the Scenery\0401 folder. This BGL changes the altitude of the airport and so the priority should be lower. I changed the filename to BGBW_Alt.bgl and put it in the World\Scenery folder. Now it works. Thanks to SAS;)
