AeroSoft Maderia

[Selkan]

I am enjoying my new GSX very much, but flying into Aerosofts Maderia, I can open Main Menu, call for Follow Me, arrive at Gate, press deboarding etc etc, but don't actually see any GSX items. When ever I have flown in there before, I notice I could never call up my 'Follow Me Car' (separate programe), and that the yellow taxi arrows would disapear under ground.  I believe this is perhaps because Aerosoft have 'built' the airport above what FSX sees as ground level, and GSX items are actually running around under the taxi way and apron?  I am thinking there is no way around this at this particular airport.  Not a big deal, but just thought I should Post.

Yes, if the AFCAD altitude is lower than the actual scenery, you won't see vehicles, because they are covered by the scenery. The only thing GSX sees of the outside world, it's the AFCAD.

Thanks for info. As said no big deal, just wont vist Maderia so often!

Hi!

Just put this .bgl in your Madeira\Scenery folder.
Basically it's just a flattening vector under the apron and taxiway area with the same elevation.

Glad to help!

Hi recardo_r, just spotted this; so as I started the Post many thanks.

Hi recardo_r again.  Spoke too soon.  Placed your bgl file in Maderia Scenery Folder, and flew into Maderia today.  Got GSX Menu, but no GSX Follow Me, or other items at Gate.  edyellow taxi line, and this still disppears underground, so I guess GSX is under there as well.  Have you any more thoughts on how to correct this?  Just for information, I have never seen an cars running around at Airport, so this might have a bearing?

[ricardo_r]

To be honest I didn't try to call the follow me car yet, but as the rest isn't appearing either I guess there might be any issue at your Madeira scenery.
I would recommend you to do a clean install of Madeira X, with the latest v1.2 setup.
Also try to set your mesh settings to full.

It also happens if you start at Madeira, or just if you arrive there?

No ground services only when arriving.

[ricardo_r]

I found what's happening. Trying to fix it...

[ricardo_r]

Here it is!

Delete the old file and download this new one, although don't put it in Madeira\Scenery, put it in a higher priority layer than Madeira X.

[Selkan]

Hi recardo_r, do you mean make a new Folder 'Maderia X' with your bgl inside.  Then make sure that is in a higher order in Scenery Library?

I was following this thread closely. It works now (in higher scenery entry). Thanks Ricardo for the fix.
