I've installed about a dozen MAIW scenerys into FSX without an issue, except Yuma MCAS. My issue is that there is a coordinate disconnect between a couple of the runways and their associated signs and arresting gear placement. I'm thinking this is probably a user error on my part, either I need to remove a legacy AFCAD or I missed installing one. I've checked and double check, and can't find where I went wrong. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

So can one of you FSXers help this gent out?

Steve,
That's for the help. I did get a PM, unfortunately, I'm not authorized to reply. I guess I'm too new to this forum and need to post more often. I did get a request for a screenshot, which I'll post here. The screenshot is of runway 3L, hopefully you can see the disconnect between the runway and the runway markers and emergency arresting gear placement. Thanks again!

P.S. It looks like the file exceeds the 256 KB limit. I'll try to reduce its size and repost.

Bill,
Once you get the screenie up I can see the issue, running Yuma no major issues.

Bill,

Don't worry if you cannot answer my PM. If you can get the screen shot I think a few of us can see where the problem is.

Keith,
Thanks! See attached.

Bill, ok I'm assuming you checked for duplicate AFCADs, might some confusion the old ICAO of KYUM and KNYL.

Victory,
I searched all the folders in my ADDON Scenery directory, no mention of KNYL. I also searched the Scenery/World folder, still no joy. Upon re-examination of the screenshot, it appears that runways 3L and 3R are offset by approximately 100 ft. I say that because the concrete part of the runway is not centered on the asphalt apron that borders the runway.

I was hoping there would be a simple fix to this, either I need to delete an old bgl or I omitted to install a file. Now I'm not so sure. It looks like I need to move the taxi signs and the arresting gear. I've installed ADE and was able to get the taxi signs to display. I did a "click and drag" to move the taxi signs. When I compiled the scenery, I get several compilation errors. I'm sorting out the errors now. One thing I need to do is move the arresting gear, but I can't get it to display. Any suggestions? I got the taxi signs to display by importing "airport stock scenery objects", then checked the taxi signs box. I couldn't find a similar proceedure to get the arresting gear to display.

Bill, while testing the RAZ AV-8B, had some time to checkout my MCAS Yuma install. No issues, BAK's are centered where they are supposed to be. Still using the custom AF2 that came with the package, so I have not had to make any changes like I do at times with FSX conversions. I guess I can send you my AF2 file if you want to swap that in.

Victory,
Thanks! Yes, I'd like to give your AF2 a try.

See if these at least allows you to troubleshoot more.

Looking in my MAIW MCAS Yuma scenery folder, I only have the .bgl's, so all VTxx VPxx files are removed due to the incapability with FSX.

Chris,
Thanks for mentioning the VTxx and VPxx files. I thought that might be it, so I deleted those files. I didn't notice any change in the scenery. Next, I substituted your file for the one I had. Still no change in scenery. I'm new to ADE, but it looks like I need to move the two parallel runways and one taxiway. I'm hoping it's a simple click and drag in ADE.
