Biggin Hill, where to begin?

One of the default airfield in Golden Wings 3 is Biggin Hill by Gary Burns. As I realised the date from the stand alone version by Gary in our library is newer, I decided to install this version. The default GW3 version was could be found in the FSGW3/Addon Scenery/bhill folder, so I removed the files BHill.Bgl, 0_BHill.Bgl, 1_BHill.Bgl, 2_BHill.Bgl, 3_BHill.Bgl and 4_BHill.Bgl from this folder and moved the new bhill folder with contents in the addon scenery folder and activated it is normal.

Until now I never installed Ian's newer version. But after all the recent Battle of Britain topics I thought it was about time. So I installed today. I "unselected" gary's bhill scenery and installed Ian's RAF Biggin Hill as normal. Different scenery appeared, but I never had realised the asphalt was still wet as my aircraft sank deep in the runway. When I moved my aircraft from the run way, it suddenly was on "grass level" again. Also the AI is having a tough time, ploughing through the asphalt.
Ian's scenery had also a top camouflage system introduced, as during the approach suddenly all taxi track disappear, however the runways remain visible. There is obviously a "height" problem but where is it hidden?

As images often tell more than words.....

I think there must be something left either from the default airfield or Gary's version are the runways and taxi track remain the same whether I have Gary's scenery installed or not.

Ill have a look, It may be the mesh i use, i use Rumba's CFS2 mesh as my mesh of choice. It also looks like a flat area issue, and im not sure i did a GW ground poly. should.nt take me long

Ive just had a quick look in my version, do you have the file "EGKB_ADE9_ADE_ALT.bgl". Its in the Biggin Hill folder but not in its scenery folder. If you do, copy it into Scenery/World/Scenery. see if that works
 
That did the trick! And it should indeed be in the Scenery/world/scenery folder. I haven't yet checked the disappearing tracks, but I will do tomorrow.

Edit: Had a quick look before I went to bed. And the problem with the tracks is now gone too.

Thanks,
Huub

I am afraid that I am rather confused by this thread – I found two copies of Gary’s Biggin Hill 1940 airfield in the library here, but can find no trace of a file by Ian for Biggin Hill for fs9. So which file was it that caused the problems experienced by Huub ?
