My home airport's IACO code has changed from O70 to JAQ.

I've updated my modified airport but now they both show in the airports list. The stock airport scenery is suppressed however the runway and taxiways are still present.

How can I suppress the stock O70 airport?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

Quote from AFX User Manual: Quote:

...If you are modifying a stock airport and change it’s ID, the resulting airport file will no longer override the stock airport and thus you will see elements from both the stock airport and your file...

I'm guessing you use ADE, but the results are the same.

This is a behavior of the sim, not the 'airport editor'. The sim identifies airports, stock and mods, by their ID as read from within the .bgl files. (has nothing to do with the .bgl file names). The sim does not see JAQ as a mod of the default O70. but rather as a 'new' airport.

Though you can't eliminate O70, you can create a mod for it and remove all the unwanted elements (except the Ref.Point).

Make sure you name your JAQ bgl so it doesn't get overwritten.

Duh!

I should have been able to figure that out, but I've got my mind on another project... Thank you. Wink
