Nightly 2020.4.0 - No Airports

Postby William » Wed Jan 12, 2022 8:08 pm

Hi all

Curious to test 2020.4 (Nightly 12-01-2022)
Full version, Windows 7 (I know)

Finally ran after removing autosave.xml 2020.3, and aircraft database.

Now it does not load any Airports
Is that a know problem ? or does it need some more tweaking ?

Cheers
William

turn on terrasync and let it pull in the ""missing"" data...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

Hi, William,

can you select an airport in the launcher or is your problem that no airport is displayed there and search does not find any airports?

If no airports displayed/available via search:
Did flightgear initialise Navdata correctly after first start or abort after reading airport data? [Check size of navdata_2020_4.cache in your Flightgear AppData-Folder, file should have a size of about 76 MB].

If navdata-init aborted and file is very small [a few kb], you might have to fix apt.dat.gz.


Kind Regards,

Chris

Update:

Build 4718 working correctly again.

One little snag: Todays nightly from https://download.flightgear.org does still install build no. 4248 [Version: FlightGear-2020.4.0-nightly-full.exe 2022-01-12 10:18 1.8 G], but 4268 or newer is required.

Workaround:
Installing that one and then overwriting bin-Folder with artifacts from http://build.flightgear.org:8080/job/Fl ... /artifact/
Starting flightgear will then correctly initilize navdata cache and airport search is working again.

I will test again tomorrow with this nights build.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks for swift replies.

The issue was that FG did not show any airports at all, and I was unable to select one, search returned nothing. Aircraft carriers were available and selectable.

Il let you know how 2022-01-12 10:18 Nightly-full and added Artifacts as instructed, does.

Thanks, Willliam

Check, this suggestion makes Airports selectable.

/sim/version/flightgear: 2020.4.0
/sim/version/simgear: 2020.4.0
/sim/version/openscenegraph: 3.6.5
/sim/version/build-id: 4718
/sim/version/build-number: 4718
/sim/version/build-type: Dev
/sim/version/revision: cef5dc65448ac7e7a9c537a15a3e88b715e75602

Had to restart with a clean install, ie remove all user settings like Cache, Aircraft, Terrain etc.
After a few starts/landings it worked as expected.

Expercienced issues with WS3.0: no Terrain was shown, and when closing FG it crashed.
Thats a new topic I guess. Try to gather some more info on this

Cheers, William
