Hi everyone, a customer has just sent me a photo and he said it happens when he uses Navigraph. I already flagged deleteALLrunways and other stuff but it still happens. Please help me
Airport is LSMF Mollis and here is the photo. (disregard the red circle)
There are two same airfield but with the different icao codes. Are you sure this is customer’s issue?
I think it is about different icao codes of the same airfield. If I report that to Zendesk I’m sure they won’t check it for next 20 years or something like that. Is it possible to arrange some kind of exclusion or something like that?
Aha, you haven’t wrote this in your firsr posting …
Why do you use an outdated icao code and not LSZM? LSMF is outdated and is replaced by LSZM. You can’t overwrite an existing icao code with another one.
A Zendesk ticket to MSFS will not help here because the MSFS uses the correct icao code.
So, there is nothing to do? Oh, that hurts. Now my customers should delete their navigraph everytime they wanted to fly Mollis. And It is happening to everyone who uses Navigraph so everbody should delete navigraph when they want to fly Mollis. I hope we can find any solution for this.
Ok Richard. I’m discovering new things step by step and It might led a confusion. I will contact with them. But here is the thing. I am now using vanilla version of MSFS and only thing installed is navigraph. There is two diffirent airfields. One is LSZM and one is LSMF. LSMF is default MSFS one and LSZM is navigraph one. LSZM is overlapping LSMF.
This picture is from my computer and as you can see there are even different runway starts. If I go to Zendesk, they won’t reply. I wondered If you can do spesific exclusion for Mollis.
… but we can only exclude a real word icao code from us and thats due a wrong/outdated icao code in the sim? No sorry, thats not in our interest … Please report this to ASOBO/MS - this is their part and can only be fixed by them.
Ok, I found a solution. Created a new airport with the latest icao (LSZM) and selected it as closed airport. And also flagged every delete command. Now It works perfect for everyone who uses my scenery. It might be helpful for other scenery developers who reads this.
Good stuff Arda - thanks for sharing this really valuable information. Didn´t know that this works but that is really the best solution for all … much appreciated!
