Objects without textures in Airport_object.bgl

Post by Blaunarwal »

Dear LM
Found a new bug using a default static aircraft group object air_staticplanes01, air_staticplanes02, air_staticplanes03 and air_staticplanes04. They are no longer textured in 5.3HF2. They used to be textured before. I could fix it, removing the objects and adding the ones from P3D4.5HF3.

The textures itself are not missing. Sorry no pics. Check yourself please.

Can you please elaborate how you removed the objects and added the old v4 ones? Thank you.

Use ModelconverterX to remove them and add the ones from P3D4 into the file Airport_object.bgl. If you drop me a pm with your e-mail, I send you a link.

Would someone please explain if this file is located in SDK ?
If not, then where.

I would like to see further documentation on how to make the correction please.

Hello Butch,

ModelconverterX can be searched / downloaded from the internet.
This is one link / info I see when I start ModelconverterX

Some info posted at AVSIM :

Which P3D airports are you seeing the problem?

I was more concerned about this Fix mentioned here. How is it implemented?
I have the file airport objuct.bgl and do not know where it is located and
how to implement the change mentioned here.

I'm aware of MCX - thanks.

None. When I saw the first post, I wondered how I could also follow along with what looks like a fix.
So, I am interested in learning where this airport_object bgl goes. And from there is looks like a bug in P3D
was discovered and naturally, I was curious as to how to fix the bug but just trying to follow along with the
fix but don't understand where the bgl is located in P3D.
There appears to be broken textures for air_staticplanes01.mdl through air_staticplanes04.mdl. So
where do I find all this broken stuff?

I searched my whole system, which has a lot of add-on scenery installed.

No airport_object.bgl file was found.

So I would imagine that this file is only part of some add-on scenery that I do not have.

As for the missing textures, Blaunarwal copied those from his v. 4.5 HF3 installation over to v. 5.3 HF2.

Hi Butch,

Ok,

Thanks for the additional information.

The airport_object bgl is here (my paths):
P3D Academic 4.5.14.34698
D:\Prepar3D v4\Scenery\Global\scenery

P3D Academic 5.3.17.28160
D:\Prepar3D v5\Scenery\Global\scenery

Which P3D version(s) are you using / searching?

Did you see my screenshot in this topic?

Ok, In World/Scenery/textures there are a lot of bmps there. no bgls....In world/scenery there is the airport_object.bgl

It looks like MCX was used in a manner to make the copying but I see no scenery objects editor unless it is deep inside the MCX
program.

I found this link that seems to be relevant to the subject at hand. Although it is about object removal.

Thanks for all of the discussion, been busy flying real planes internationally. Back on the sim now and will explore. I do have the latest version of P3D and did a fresh install/upgrade and it didn't fix that airport. It did however up my frame rate and fixed some other bugs. I'll explore these responses and report back when I have time. Cheers everyone!!!
