Hi Rodeo.
It work for entire world or for US only?
Can I create xref_pl folder just by copy all textures from xref_us folder? If so, there is no problem with xref_pl.tsc file but how can I create xref_pl.tmb file?
At the moment Aerofly crashed when xref objects are aded into my EPLK scenery.
We can extend the xref objects in one of the next update to a world wide coverage. We have introduced this only to conserve some memory.

Just to be clear is this why i don't see xref objects in my uk scenery, only aircraft?
Did you use xref_building or xref_usa_airport?
I'd better watch your new video first. I don't know which I did, I just tried that method you used on the KDWH example but until I watch your video I don't know how the link with the source models works.
Ok Phil,
actually there is no specific link to the libraries. Just use the object names in AC3D from the currently existing 3 libraries. 
Here's my object list. The planes show up but the objects don't. Was I meant to put some textures or folders somewhere in My Documents to make the xref buildings shows up or are all these objects part of core FS2? I've checjed that all objects are at Y=0 (does that matter anyway?). I didn't bother sizing the marker objects in AC3D as I'm not going for accurate placement just now. I just want something to appear.
Here's my log from AC3D export:

You don't have to put some texture folders into your airport directory for xref objects.
But I can duplicate this situation: Trying the same objects in Stuttgart, the towers are missing, shifting them to USA, they show up.
AC3D objects in Stuttgart:
Stuttgart airport without towers:
Same AC3D objects shifted to USA:
Rodeo, with your last video at the very end it appears that instead of flying to observe the result, you are slewing. How do you set that up?

@Spit40, the way I fixed this issue is by duplicating the xrefs for my location, France.
in Steam\steamapps\common\Aerofly FS 2 Flight Simulator\scenery\xref, I copied xref_usa folder to a xref_france folder and renamed some files in this new folder :
Finally I edited the .tsc file with
<[file][][]
<[object][][]
<[string8] [name] [xref_france]>
<[tmvector2d][lonlat_min][-6.03002646177 41.0174294321]>
<[tmvector2d][lonlat_max][9.67845957955 51.0842122254]>
>
>where lonlat_min and lonlat_max values are the bounding box of France.
Now the question is if there is a way to make our own xrefs libraries (i.e. with local building)?
SamSam - Fantastic, thanks. This forum (and the people helping each other) is invaluable!
Phil I made it this same way (see post #2) Aerofly crashed because my mistake in tsc file -1 wrong letter matter. Sorted it out and working fine for me too.

Success! Two things I got wrong the first couple of times
