Title: Appending a stock file....
Post by gypsymoth on Dec 4^th, 2012 at 6:59am

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.
