Meigs (KCGX) does not show in the ICAO ID for Airport Location in P3D V4.5

Post by JWxTreme »

I realize that Meigs no longer exists but I'm trying to install Orbx Merrill Meigs airport and I cannot find the KCGX in the ICAO ID list for Airport Location. I've been working with Orbx about this but they can't figure it out from their end either. I was wondering if this is a P3D issue?

On Orbx forum you also mentioned you have had "Drzewiecki Design Chicago X " scenery also installed ?

I don't have ORBX, but the first thing I would try was to give Meigs a higher priority than Chicago X.

In reading the OP first post the problem is KCGX is not found in P3D ... so how could he make it a higher priority?

Note:
I am sure Orbx and Drzewiecki Design scenery support will be able to sort it out.

Sorry, I meant to say he could make the ORBX Meigs a higher priority.

And I probably do that because I want as little as possible in Addon Scenery, but out where I can control the priorities with Scenery Configuration Editor, and also place the scenery on the SSD of my choice.

His reported problem is:
"cannot find the KCGX in the ICAO ID list for Airport Location"

I have posted also on the forums for Orbx and Drzewiecki Design, but they can't figure it out either. I have removed Drzewiecki Design but P3D V4 still doesn't recognize the Meigs Add-on. I posted here because I thought it might be a P3D issue.

Which P3Dv4.5 version are you using?

Post here screenshots of your P3D scenery file contents (start P3D and look into scenery).

Have you gone thru the debugging steps?

Martyson. I can't thank you enough. That link you provided was the answer, particularly this step:
Delete the following generated folders/files. This will result in any add-ons being removed/disabled.
%PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4
%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4


I had uninstalled and reinstalled P3D V4 and Orbx before but I failed to delete those files and folders. Once I did that and reinstalled P3D V4. I had my KCGX in the ICAO ID list. Thanks again so much :)
