Downloaded airports not showing up

Postby Lydiot » Tue Feb 25, 2014 3:13 am

...after refresh...

I've been to US east coast airports as well as airports in Scotland, England and France, and none show up.

If I select KBOS for example then I get some other airfield...!

If I select KSFO for example and then choose "location" and "select airport" and type in "KBOS" it will be found and loads quick, without download.



Has anyone had this problem or knows what's going on?

What version of FlightGear are you using, what operating system do you have and what aircraft have you tried?

Also if you raise the logging level from "alert" to "bulk" what does the last say ten lines of the log file say? (To set the log level on Windows and Linux go to the last page in FGRun click the "Advanced..." button and go to the "Debugging" page. On Windows 7 you can find the log file in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\flightgear.org\fgfs.log.)

This started happening to me too when I tried to go to my local airport today.

Every settings are just as they've always been.

Is this with the "show only installed airports" option selected? When you select KBOS, what does the --airport line say on the command-line (last page of FGRun)?

Well, I solved the problem by reseting to default settings. Strange anyway - I didn't change anything yesterday when I used FG3 ...

I apologize for giving so little information. I was in a hurry.

Win 7 x64, latest FG version. Tried "Show only installed" and not.

I'll check your suggestions and get back to you with more info.

Thanks!

Since upgrading to FGFS 3.4 I also have (had) that problem, intermittently.
My system: ubuntu 15.04, 8 GB, OS 32 bit

I usually start with a command file (not changed since before 3.4!) - any plane starts nice on EDDF --> but on runway - although --parkinglot is specified!)!! With FGrun I have/had the same problem - sometimes I could select the parking-lot - but it still placed me onto runway! Also I noticed that TerraSync did not start when trying to start on "new" airports (I could select that "new" airport in FGrun with selection "All airports" - but again I just get onto the runway -- AND after waiting 1/2h and restart that "new" airport is not shown in the FGrun list "installed airports". (BTW: I am sure I have only new scenery and "--enable-terrasync" is always active!)

I then deleted the (hidden file) ".fgfs" in home directory - and it works with command-file! (originally that was taken over from former 3.2 FGFS!).

BUT: trying to then start with FGrun again does not work.
    To get FGrun to place me on parkinglot - I again had to "Restore default settings" in FGrun
    and that means the start with command-file does not work any more - I had to delete the ".fgfs" again to make that work
    etc etc loop loop
There seems to be some (eng-) confusion about what the default scenery settings are (nowadays!).
At least I am able to "fly" again!
My summary: For the time being do not try to use sometimes FGrun and sometimes a command-file!
