The Double Terminal/Tower Problem

(1/3) > >>

MWS:
Need help! Read through the forum and saw this is a recurring problem. I made the mistake of editing the airport with AFCAD and that screwed it up. I have since deleted every other AFCAD of LAX I found. I used SimpleAirportScanner to find them all. I have deleted and reinstalled (I even redownloaded) the FSDT LAX Scenery. No matter what I do the old terminals and tower do not go away. I've probably already spend 3 hours trying to fix it and am about to give up for good.

Thanks,

Matt

Yes, the old AFCAD utility shouldn't be used, because it doesn't preserve exclusion zones, and this is exactly what causes double objects. You should use ADE to edit the AFCAD. Try to use the ScanAFD program to search for duplicates:

And be sure you haven't created a duplicate yourself in the KLAX folder.

Used ScanAFB, no duplicates, KLAX_AP is the only one it found.

No other duplicates in the KLAX folder either. Anything else I can do?

Remove that .BGL and reinstall KLAX, so you are sure the one in use in the FSDT one.

If this doesn't fix it, than the only possible explanation is that you have a conflicting file which can't be detected by AFD scanners, so you'll have to find it manually. It's possible a conflict like that *could* be caused by a non-AFACD file. AFCADs are only the most common cause of double objects, but are not the only one.

No luck, doesn't make sense to me. Especially considering that when I first downloaded it, it worked fine  ??? :-\
