The ORBX freeware LSGK Saanen (https://orbxdirect.com/product/lsgk/afs2) also works -- including the animated person sweeping at the helipad. 🧹🚁

Ich hab's mal auf dem gleichen Weg mit Lukla probiert und es prinzipiell so hinbekommen. Allerdings ist die ganze Szenerie etwas verdreht und verschoben.

Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass sich die Positionsdaten in der .tsc-Datei nicht wirklich auswirken. Ich habe auch bei ORBX-LOWI versucht, die Startposition auf der der Flieger steht und mit dem vorhandenen kollidiert, in der lowi.tsc und lowi.wad (<[list_tmsimulator_parking_position][parking_positions][]-Struktur) zu verschieben. Hat leider auch keinen Einfluss gehabt. Hast Du das irgendwie hin bekommen?

Was macht eigentlich die .wad-Datei? Bei Lukla kann man sie scheinbar auch weglassen.

Vielen Dank Hans-Peter

Die in LOWI gezeigte Parkposition kommt vom FS4 aus einer der beiden Dateien

- /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator/scenery/airports/at/lowi/lowi.tsc

oder

- /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator/scenery/airports/at/lowi/lowi.wad.

An den beiden Dateien als Original-Dateien würde ich nichts ändern -- zumal ich auch nicht weiß, wie das geht (mein Text-Editor auf dem Mac zeigt den Inhalt nur kryptisch).

Bei ORBX steht die B737 der Transavia Air auf der FS4-Parkposition. Ich habe die Datei westsim_lowi_statics_b737_transavia.ttx mal blockiert - aber dann verschwinden mehr Objekte als nur der Flieger (nur der arme Einweiser winkt fröhlich vor sich hin).

Was die wad-Datei macht, weiß ich nicht. Ich habe nur gesehen, dass das Fehlen dieser Datei bei Flugplätzen zu einem Eintrag in der ERROR-Liste führt.

--------------------

The parking position shown in LOWI comes from FS4 from one of the two files

- /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator/scenery/airports/at/lowi/lowi.tsc

or

- /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator/scenery/airports/at/lowi/lowi.wad.

I wouldn't change anything in the two files as original files -- especially since I don't know how to do that either (my text editor on the Mac only shows the content cryptically).

At ORBX, the Transavia Air B737 is at the FS4 parking position. I blocked the file westsim_lowi_statics_b737_transavia.ttx once - but then more objects than just the plane disappear (only the poor usher is waving happily in front of him).

What the wad file does, I don't know. I have only seen that the absence of this file at airfields leads to an entry in the ERROR list.

I think if we had the SDKs we are waiting for, the community would shape things again.

Danke Michael und Pascal,

in der Original-LOWI.TSC kann ich auch nichts ändern (auch nur kryptische Zeichen).

Danke für Eure Hilfe.

Ich habe noch ein anderes Problem, in VR ist der bei ASF4 kein Sound da, in ASF2 in alles i.O. Ist das noch ein Bug?

VR-Soundproblem hat sich gelöst (Steam-VR hatte 'ne Macke)

Thanks Michael for all the tips, all work normally except Chicago meigs, I tried everything but impossible to animate these buildings, certainly something incompatible with the .toc file, or something else?

KCGX (Chicago Meigs Field) also works. However, since IPACS does not have the IACO code in its internal database (the airfield no longer exists), it cannot be found via SEARCH.

Now concerning Lukla, nothing can be fixed without the author Sascha Normann helping, I have already tried everything, because what is definitely broken, is the elevation and the orientation of the areas, which causes in my opinion a shift of the positions of all the aerodromes including those of the Helipads and whether with the .wad file or without.

I have now found Lukla (VNLK) again with me , I bought it from Aerosoft. I have also noticed the shifted positions and I have no idea why it no longer fits.

I have now made it fit again for me by creating three additional files (I use the two pairs of files marked in bold.):

• vnl4__lukla__parkposition_4.tsc/.wad
  ... is Apron #4 (unfortunately only displayable with the symbol "H")
• vnl5__lukla__heliport_1.tsc/.wad
  ... is the heliport for small helicopters on the upper terrace (unfortunately hidden in LOCATION by heliport #2)
• vnl5__lukla__heliport_2.tsc/.wad
  ... is the heliport for heavy helicopters on the lower terrace with access to the runway.

With your file the scenery works?

Quote from ApfelFlieger

For LOWI (Innsbruck) I found a WorkAround (instructions for action at your own risk):

paste the ORBX folder "Innsbruck" from the ORBX directory "places" into the user directory and rename it:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/scenery/airports/eu/at/lowi__innsbruck__orbx
rename the ORBX file "innsbruck.tsc" to "lowi.tsc
duplicate the renamed file "lowi.tsc" to "lowi.wad".

=> That's it.

Only a small hint for the last resp. 3rd step of your tutorial:

It is better to create a copy of IPACS original WAD file from scenery/airport/ directory instead of renaming the copy of TSC file.

This way the runway will be displayed correctly on the map and the runway start positions will also work. It also works properly for ORBX LSGK Saanen.

Otherwise your temporary workaround works very well, many thanks!

Comment: Still waiting for progress from IPACS with their new Airport Designer and at least first information/specifications for developers, this regardless of the completion of their tool and especially regarding the cultivation with buildings. "Don't break our simulator" means that we should get informations. Otherwise, we can not be criticized/blamed for what we are doing here.

That is a good suggestion, thank you.👍😀

Yes.😀

Quote from ApfelFlieger

Yes.😀

Hmm. The images yes, the rest, not really. I was thinking that we found a usable way to restore the scenery with objects and cultivation

It has some houses, yes, but ...

Quote from Tomfa

Is there a workaround to make Heligoland visible on AFS4? Because that of Aerosoft is non-existent on the map, this despite the .wad? Ditto for the Helgoland HD image.

Of course . FS4 already has the cultivations , but it lacks the images, the airport and the heliports .

• images:
  @IZ0JUB offers good images here https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…february-2022/:
  - https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…22/&fileID=2546
• airports:
  - For the airport I created a file pair http://edxh.tsc/wad, which is used to retrieve the FS4-internal data. Unfortunately, the positioning is wrong, but I'm sure IPACS will correct this at some point. Alternatively, the data from @IZ0JUB can be used.
  - For three heliports (Düne airfield, Marineflieger and offshore service) I have created three more file pairs tsc/wad.
