ok so you do have the EDDF ground net... that's good...

do you have ANY additional scenery directories defined in the launcher?
i ask this because when FG searches for scenery directories, when it finds the one it is looking for, it stops searching for it further down the list... so if you have a scenery directory that contains Airports/E/D/D with EDDF files in it, it will stop there... if the groundnet file is not in that directory, FG will not have one to work with even if there is another directory further down your scenery directory list with the groundnet in it...

"Why not?" said Gurder.

Yes, I have multiple sceneries that don't provide scenery for EDDF, and I have project 3000 scenery, but I only added that yesterday, so after these problems appeared … But I will try to disable all sceneries, and see if it helps.

I now redownloaded both FGData and the AppImage version 2020.3.6, overwrote the old ones, and deleted FGHOME - my parkings ARE STILL GONE ?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?!?

you really didn't have to do that... all you needed to do was to disable the custom scenery stuff you had listed in the launcher... should have taken all of 30 seconds to do that and start the sim without any of that scenery being loaded to see if FG would then properly find the groundnets in terrasync...

@wkitty : I removed all custom scenery entries from the list, but it didn't help :( That's only why I redownloaded FGData and the AppImage …

IDK how exactly, but I've got my parkings back :lol: :lol: :lol: !!

I first started up FG, made sure the list of additional sceneries is empty, clicked Fly.
Then, I flew around for about ten minutes, checked under Environment > Airport selection for parkings at EDDF - none appeared. I then already were about to exit by going into the File menu, when I spotted a menu entry Scenery download. I clicked that, which brought up a dialog. Inside that, I found two checkboxes, the lower one was called Update AI traffic during FG start, which was enabled and which had an "Update Now" button besides it. Clicking that button probably was the thing that brought my parkings back !

i can understand that... what i was also saying is that you only needed to unmark them by unticking the box beside each one on the left... they shouldn't have been needed to be removed from the list or the system...

i'm glad you found that scenery download dialog in-sim... it is where i've tried to point you to previously when i've spoken about looking at the (in-sim) scenery download log ;)
