DUPLICATE AIRPORTS

Good morning.

I am writing to you to ask for help with a problem I have encountered.


In the WORLD UPDATE that was launched on Spain, this includes an airport that conflicts with one of mine that is for sale since long before, it is LECO A CORUÑA Airport, I need to know if there is any way to make an exclusion on any airport or any other element of this nature.


For now the solution is that customers uninstall that airport manually, but that bothers many people and right now I must release an update that solves many problems and some of the stores that sell my airport and the Marketplace refuse to place a warning note where the customer is informed of the method to follow for the airport to work properly, which is to uninstall the version of ASOBO.


any help on this please?

@TDM_SceneryDesign ,

Can you specify which conflict you are referring to? Duplicated objects / ILS / Markings ... ?

You can use the exclusion rectangle to hide objects from other sceneries from the world updates. Just be aware that the rectangle must be big enough to cover the whole airport.

is a complete airport (terminal buildings, hangars, grounpoly, projected mesh etc. etc. etc.).


I have tried all possible exclusions and I can't get it to disappear.


This is the LECO Airport that ASOBO included in the Iberia World Update.

@Boris_


Hello again.

You already have the package in private.

the problem, as you can see in the images, is that the airport that is included in the WORLD UPDATE IBERIA (LECO A CORUÑA) is not excluded and people who use my airport have problems of terrain elevations, duplicity of buildings, as I indicated, the solution for now is that they remove it from the content library, many do not know how to do it and now that I must publish an update, Marketplace and other stores do not want to publish the product with a note that specifies this problem and the solution.


I want to know if there is a way that when my airport is installed, I can exclude the airport from the world update.

Hello @TDM_SceneryDesign ,


As I said in the post above, you should use a large exclusion rectangle with "excludeAllObjects". I was able to remove the objects from the LECO scene from the word update as you can see :

An excluding package: !-exclude-airport-leco

Alter the example as needed. Multiple, smaller polys and rectangles give finer control. The ! which starts the package name forces the package to be loaded before other Community addons, and after the Official addons. Compilation may show a validation error, but the package is still built.

@Boris_

woo, the exclusion rectangle is huge, I hadn't thought of making it that big.


I was making individual rectangles the size of each building, that's why it wasn't working.

thanks so much for the help, you guys are awesome.


I apologize for the inconvenience.
