Another Scenery Question

Hi all
I have a couple of interesting scenery questions, but I will deal with one at a time.
With the first, I am getting a 'double' in the scenery.cfg.

This is shown in the screenshot.

attachment.php


As you can see there are two entries for LOD 7 and Runways


The scenery.cfg is shown below.

There are the second LOD 7and Runways entry at the bottom. (in red)

Deleting these, resetting the layer number and clearing the filelist removes the double entries, however, they re-appear after the game is started.

It does not seem to affect the game (at the moment).

Any ideas?

Cheers
Stuart

PS is it ok to have Rhumb'a watermask as Required=False?
If it is Required=true, it cannot be moved or deleted.

Your [Area.0xx] number and your Layer=xx numbers do not match and you have duplicate Layer=xx numbers. That is why your areas are getting duplicated. Go through and make your Layer = number the same as the [Area.0xx] number. Also, the [Area.0xx] number must stay sequential. :wavey:
 
Hi Stuart, This happened to me some months ago with a set of airfields. It took me several attempts to delete the scenery and adjust the cfg before the duplication stopped. Have you tried changing (area.0010) to (area.010) in the scenery.cfg?
 
Just saw Kurt's post. Having the area and layer numbers the same is the way to go. I'd still look at the extra "0" in your scenery numbering.
 
Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

Ravenna spotted the problem.:applause::applause::applause:

Area.0010

Getting rid of that pesky extra 0 fixed the extra runway.

Still had the extra LOD 7 though.

The problem was Area.14

An extra 0 (014) fixed that one.

Cheers,

Stuart
 
Hi Stuart,

And you can make all the layers false if you want. That way you have total control over the scenery hierarchy.

Dave says you didn't have to do it, but thanks very much for the beers.

Cheers,
