How to remove new airports buildings in P3Dv5?

Hello,
as You know P3Dv5 added new and more buildings on default airports.
Its fine but if you use the same airport especially as a free add-on created for P3Dv4 (or FSX from SoH, Avsim, Flightsim) you will see this addon and ... this new P3Dv5 buildings together. Check Food Lovers Specials and Game Specials.
This applies e.g. to the entire "our" Ed's production .... many free addons are old also and never will be update for P3Dv5 with removing this new kind buildinds but for P3Dv4 was ok.

Here example (scenery created for FSX), for P3Dv4.5 was ok also but for v5 it looks like this - new buildings appeared



How to remove it from this scenery? Any advices? :running:
 
Well... I guess I was just lucky and they did not add anything in mine. At first though the ORBX airport buildings were poking through mine like in your picture but they disappeared after I made sure through central that the ORBX insertion point was below my sceneries.
 
For ORBX I havent any problem also, but for many free addons perhaps this problem will be present. You can check ED's work for example.
I think here is a problem "It seems, that old excludes not working in V5 anymore".
 
Bingo! It was this. I was loading stock object by this option and deleted default v5 buildings

[FONT=&quot]There are plenty of reports for misplaced and unexpected objects when compiling a P4 project for P5. There are two reasons[/FONT]

  • The biggest is that the stock airports have been recomplied and there are a lot of new objects present in P5 than P4. Your ADE project will not exclude those. If you want them gone then you will need to use Tools > Load Stock Data to get the v5 objects into the project and then delete them.
  • The other issue is that some objects may be the same but are moved to some degree so that the micro exclude set in the earlier version no longer covers the reference point of the object. Removing them in ADE won't remove them in sim.

and voila!



It's ADE for P3Dv5 (v1.79 for now): https://www.scruffyducksoftware.com/shop-and-downloads .
 
Yes, Im happy too :biggrin-new:. What I did to solve this:

1. Open addon scenery as bgl for sure.

2. I do screenshot from top view of map with objects (what I have in this addon).

3. Load Stock Data > Scenery Object > Import.

4. Delete default objects (easy to spot if you did screenshot before).



5. Compile new bgl file (you can rename it as it was in the orginal file).

Result (Ed's scenery for example):

Before:



After:



So its easy to solve it :wavey:.
 
A little different question,
how to enlarge this red line circe around airport scenery and what is it?

 
It defines the area outside of which ADE will not include scenery objects,

To modify it, select "File -> Airport Properties" and change "Test Radius"

 
@ananda, Thank You!
I just needed it to enlarge the area to delete some buildings. Now it's solved :wavey: .
 
Not a "new" building, but want it gone!

I am back to this problem again. I installed Ed's great replacement scenery for the stock 1A3 Martin Campbell airport at Copperhill, TN. The only problem I see is a (I think, a stock airport building?). I installed the latest version of ADE, and I do have a Pro version (although I have zero clue how to use it at all).

When I try to open the stock 1A3, I get the following popup in ADE:

I am simply wanting to get rid of the darn stock building as seen here:

NC, you can send me this bgl (by PM) and I'll fix it.

Edit. - ah OK, I see, its 1A3 Martin Campbell airport at Copperhill, of Ed. Will do.
