My turn!
having similar problems, that is no tarmac or runways! I have'nt any ALPHA sim stuff, just default scenery. I've tried adjusting the height using AFCAD 2.21 but to no avail. Could someone let me know the Height above sea level for Nellis please? Got mine at 1874.0 currently.

Well, Dave, I do not dispute your checking about the Alphasim scenery but with the symptoms being the same it would seem that you some other scenery that is causing the problem.
My guess would be that its quite an old scenery, as newer ones tend to have less problems.

As a side issue, how does KLAS look as its only a couple of miles a way, and quite busy if you have civilian traffic.

Dave, maybe the AFCAD somehow got corrupt. I'm posting the AFCAD here

Sorry that didn't work. I was hoping that would be a quick fix.

Dave....do you have Groom Lake / Area 51 Scenery - KXTA buy Ted Thompson. In that scenery I found an AFCAD for KLSV.

Dave,
Maybe its time for drastic action. Take a copy of your scenery.cfg and set all your non-default fs9 addons to ACTIVE=FALSE, with the exception of the Nellis scenery with its afcad.

If it appears normal, then you have proved that its an addon. The task then is to narrow it down. I would suggest then setting the first half back to ACTIVE=TRUE, if it still works you know that the problem is in the second half. If the problem returns you know its in the first half.

According to what you discover, you then either add more ACTIVE=TRUE or ACTIVE=FALSE until you discover the cause.

Let us know how you get on.

Hello,

Sorry to bring back an old topic, but is there any way I can obtain this scenery now that avsim is sadly gone? I'd been waiting for its release but right when I finally got around to downloading it, avsim was gone.

If anyone has it and is willing to send it to me, I would be very grateful, as I've been jonesing for a good Nellis for ages.

I just got most of the Nellis AI repaints from Flightsim, and I am using the above LSV AFCAD file. I did download the Alphasim version, tried it out, then quickly deleted it, to me it was that bad. For right now I am using scenery from a virtual military airline.

Right now my Nellis is packed, probably a bit too much with F-16/15/22's and A-10's, and then there is the transits.

Just to give you guys a heads up... the other Alphasim scenery that causes the Nellis AFB AFCAD not to show, is "Fallon NAS"... as soon as I disabled/removed "Fallon", Paul's Nellis AFB runways, taxiways & aprons, now show up... I must say Paul, this is one fine looking airbase... great job.

***EDIT***... to be more specific, its the exclude files in the "Fallon NAS" scenery folder that is the cause.

Trim, thanks for that, until now, no one has been able to pinpoint which scenery files were causing the problems.

Did you try just removing the Fallon exclude files and using the rest of the scenery without them, or will that not work?

Yes... if you remove the 2 exclude files from the Fallon NAS\scenery folder... the problem with KLSV goes away... but then you have all the default objects showing along with the custom objects over @ "Fallon NAS"... maybe making some new excludes will do the trick... or better yet, a better "Fallon NAS" !!!

Trim, thanks for your kind words.......I had a lot of fun doing that scenery. Hopefully some day someone will do a custom scenery for Nellis. As far as an exclude for Fallon...I did one, found here.......
http://www.militaryaiworks.com/forum/vi ... n&start=15....... The AFCAD I did is a realistic one with a lot of parking, but doesn't fit the Alphasim scenery.
