Help deleting static aircraft

Post by Joseph29 »

I have this scenery for Ivanovo air base in Russia (XUDI) http://www.avsim.su/files.phtml?action= ... d&id=45018

It has static planes and I would like to delete them. There is a separate bgl file for the An-22's but no separate bgl file for the other ones. It's the An-22 static planes I want to keep and I want to delete all the other static planes. Any idea how to delete those static planes?

Remover.zip at flightsim.com is designed to remove static aircraft:

It's probably 10 years since I've used it. Alternatively, you could create small exclusion rectangles over the static aircraft in a scenery program. You would then need to set the compiled .bgl up as a separate scenery library area that sits above the scenery that you want to remove the static aircraft from.

Thanks. I will try Remover.zip since I have no idea how to make exclude files.

I just got around to using remover.zip and either I am using it wrong or it doesn't work with FS9. I could not get it to find any static planes.

Maybe someone can give me a crash course to how to use this correct?

edit: Does anyone know what bgl file contains the static planes (not the An-22)? The first time I ran the program I just went through all the bgl files cause I did not know.

As I said, it's probably 10 years since I used the program so I'm unfamiliar with it now. I do remember though, no matter what I did, I couldn't remove the VC-10 that Gary Summons had parked in his UK2000 scenery at Marham, but I think it worked elsewhere. It's not difficult to make an exclusion rectangle with ADE and even easier with Instant Scenery. You could try that, but remember to put the .bgl in a separate scenery area in the library and sit it above the scenery you want to exclude from.
