I've installed ZGGG New Baiyun Airport (zggg_bai.zip from here) & added it to my FS9 scenery library as usual & it's No.1.

ZGGG New Baiyun Airport (zggg_bai.zip from here)

I can't find the file or I would check it out for you. Any chance of a link to the page it's posted on?

PS. I tracked it down on another site. I followed the installation instructions & it seems to be working fine for me. Before installing it I checked out the default airport. It's listed on the menu as in this shot.

The new install will give you the New & Old airports. This is the new airport.

If it doesn't look like this for you I suspect you didn't configure the ZGGG folder properly.

Thanks.  Hagar - my new ZGGG appears above the highlighted one which has been renamed (Old) ZGG0.  My installation looks exactly like yours. 

The thing is Dave when I click on the new ZGGG I get the old one.   The only way I can see the new is to leave the old & fly to the new.   I was hoping all my ai would populate the new one but they're all at the old one....I'd like to remove the old but can't find it, if that's possible!

I've just got TTools & am reading the manual but I can't find that file - Airports030528.txt after doing a computer search.
Is this what yours ended up as or before you edited it?   
I'm afraid this is another learning curve!!

Sorry Terry. I thought you would probably be more familiar with TTools than me. First you have to run TTools & decompile Traffic030528.bgl. This will create 3 text files in the TTools folder named Aircraft030528.txt, Airports030528.txt & Flightplans030528.txt. Open Airports030528.txt in Notepad & find the existing ZGGG entry. Modify it with the figures I quoted & save changes. Now back in TTools recompile

A thought occurred to me that could explain your problem. Which method did you use to back up the 3 default BGL files? If you renamed them but kept the .BGL extension FS9 can still read them. I simply knocked the L off the end of the BGL file extension. Also make sure you backed up the correct files.

TTools = this is the first time I've used it & I can see now that the files are updated automatically - my silly question really.

When I was adding WoAI last year, someone suggested removing
