Been raining dude...lol :shock:

You need to remove the VT## poly files they don't work well in FSX.

Well I have figured it out after some trial and error. Removing the file Barksdale_Night_Map_LWM2.bgl seemed to fix the problem and I have grass once again :D

Only thing I can think of is that your traffic slider is set to low. For this package I think it needs to be at at least 75% I get about 4 parking on the ramp at most. The others are in the air or in hangars.

Well I'm sure all you FSXers remember FS9 uses a different parking radi to FSX....so you need to alter the AFD to make it work in FSX.

if any has an updated AFCAD so it works in FSX so more buffs show up that would be cool. I did try moving the aircraft slider up and it gave me more buffs but 4 were on the line, and then there were a bunch in the hangers lol. Its defiantly pretty laggy with the scenery in there. May take out the scenery to cut down on the lag.

Change all Buff parking to "31" meters, I tried to do this but ADE will not compile without errors. Always remove Vtxx and LMWx files.

EDIT: Stock taxi signs seemed to be the demon.

Thanks guys.
I was suffering from the lack of BUFF's too, but with your tweaks I've got a ramp full now.
They look great. Can't wait to come across one of them in flight.

I will have to recheck the ADE and adjust, the stock taxi signs are off and I have an autogen building where the now old A-10 parking is.

Also, posted in the support thread, but I believe the drag chute needs to have the alpha adjusted for FSX, mine are untextured (black).

As Mark ("djnocturnal") mentioned a bit higher in the thread: remove the file "Barksdale_Night_Map_LWM2.bgl" from the Barksdale scenery folder

In the Barksdale scenery folder, replacing the original one.

Glad you sorted it out.

In the future, please ask your question only once and show some patience. It can take some time before you get an answer due to time zones and because - surprisingly - most of us do have a life... :lol:

Have fun with this amazing package in FSX!
