Appending a stock file....

Postby gypsymoth » Tue Dec 04, 2012 6:59 am

I've made an airfield to replace the stock EGHH.  It's an Afcad product that looks fine except for the stock grass base.  Using Sbuilder I made a new one but FS9 only shows (recognises) the stock grass airfield shape.

I assume the only way I can change the grass is to append or edit the stock file?   If I'm right where does FS9 keep the stock file ?

No need to edit the stock files. What you need is a special type of exclude, called a VTP exclude, to remove the stock airport backround. This is done using SBuilder.

Go here and download Scruffyduck's 'Airport Regression' tutorial.  http://www.scruffyduck.org.uk/scenery/tutorials.html One of the steps in the project will explain removing the stock airport background.
At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
