Paul: There were no CVX files in any of the sceneries I downloaded from there, just one or more BGLs in each. Nor did I find a file of flattens or anything to make the sceneries work without the (more accurate, and potentially blended around the airfields?) mesh that comes with the photoscenery.
You cannot exclude autogen in FSX using a BGL (AFD) file, only an Airfield Background type polygon which is compiled into a CVX will remove it. FS9 style excludes, as used in that scenery, do not work in any version of FSX.
I made a fl/ex file for the one I wanted to use at the time, but have since swapped OSs (and hence FSX installations) and have not reinstalled the scenery. I decided that if I wanted one, I might as well just do it myself.
I'm ex-UK military and have had to approach them for informaton since, as a civilian, so have experienced first hand some of the stupidity surrounding MoD classified materials and what is and isn't covered. Some things you would think should be seriously classified are publicly available or accessible, while things you can clearly see from just walking past, aerial photos or can read in the press are classified. The easiest way to think of it is that the paper used by the MoD and all its subsidiary organisations comes with "RESTRICTED" pre-embossed and getting that level of classification removed is usually more hassle than it is worth.
My favourite one was when the Garrison played the local football team in an annual match. All documentation regarding the match was classified Restricted, yet exactly the same information was all over the local free sheets because they wanted the club's fans to come and support their team!
Go figure...
