Advice on uploading updated Airport

Postby HTH » Fri Mar 19, 2021 6:25 am

Hello,
I am asking for some help uploading a airport.

I printed out "How to: Add details to your airport" and "How to Place 3D objects with the UFO" them followed the instructions and tried to upload following the instructions under - Sharing your updates with everyone -. I have tried many times but the link seams to be dead. can someone please tell me what I should be doing.

Thanks,
Harry.

Hi and welcome!

Nice to see that you're interested in contributing to our scenery! The website was moved to a new location some time ago: https://scenery.flightgear.org/app.php? ... contribute
I'll update the wiki accordingly, thanks for reporting!

Thanks for heading me in the right direction Gijs and thank you for your time.

I have added all the infrastructure to a airport that only had runways and taxiways etc. (YRED) which has added 707 lines to the stg file so would I be right in doing it in stages of 100 lines. I believe I do this at the Objects massive addition form, is this correct?
Thanks,
Harry.

I tried to upload the first part of the YRED stg file today. Do I need to remove the comment lines as it seems that the # is not accepted or just the ## part and leave the comment in?
Thanks

You can just remove the comment altogether, the scenery database only uses OBJECT_ lines afaik

I have just up dated FlightGear to the latest version thanks to Saikrishna.

The airport that I submitted upgrades for (YRED) has only the first part of the sixteen parts I uploaded. Can someone tell me do I need to reload the other fifteen parts or will they be incorporated in the next update? I only received one email stating that I had submitted a object(s) addition request. Should I have received a email for each upload?
