NZFF

Hi Rob,
I've been having some issues with FS9 recently & while checking for any duplicate/multiple AFCADs, i found there were 3 for NZPP in my sim!!!
Can you tell me which of these 3 is the rogue, please.
I have one in RealNZ Paraparaumu/scenery folder, one in Scenery/world/Scenery folder and another in Addon Scenery/Scenery folder.
I'm certain that this scenery does not require 3 AFCADS.
Your assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross.
By the way, how you are recovering from the quake?

Hello Ross, I'll chip in:
Remove the AFCAD in Addon Scenery/Scenery
The other two are fine, one "pins" the elevation in the strange NZ environment.

If you are using the GNZLAP AI package, overwrite the AFCADs in those 2 locations with the GNZLAP one.

Hi Charl,
Thanks for the speedy reply.
I knew at least one of the AFCADs wasn't needed & probably shouldn't be there.
What made it worse was checking the properties showed the AFCAD in RealNZ paraparaumu/scenery is dated 2008, whereas the other 2 are dated 2006!!!!
Logic says that the 2008 would be the odd one out, but i know that doesn't always apply....
I'll delete that one & see how it goes.

The main problem i am having is that the gauges appear to be approx. 20 degrees out.
I have tried downloading a new magdec file & that works until i shut down FS9.
When i re-start it, the gauges are out again, usually showing the true heading rather than the magnetic one.
I can't find anything wrong elsewhere in the sim.
I have also tried the 'fix registry' thing, with the same results.
Any ideas would be really appreciated.
I certainly don't fancy a full fresh install of my FS9.

Thanks
Ross.

Umm Ross, of course the 2 AFCADs must be the same...

As to your other issues: International settings to "Southern/Eastern" hemisphere?
Failing that, renaming the FS9.cfg is quicker than a reinstall, the sim will rebuild a basic one.

Hi Charl,
thanks again for your reply.
I thought the 2 AFCADs should be the same, thats what threw some confusion in.
I've tried removing the one from the RealNZ Paraparaumu/scenery folder with no ill effects.
That was the 2008 dated one.
as to the other problem, yes international settings are set to S & E hemisphere.
i will try renaming FS9.cfg & let sim rebuild.
Cheers,
Ross.

I have heard of this before, and thought that it was some sort of scenery issue. Did some google questions, and come up with a similar result. Try disabling sceneries one at a time, and you will likely find one of them is the issue:

Thanks AlisterC,
I've had this problem once before, a few years ago & if i remember rightly, it WAS a scenery issue, but i can't remember what!!!!
That time i did a complete re-install & that cured it.
I don't fancy doing that again!!!!
I'll have a go at removing some sceneries as you suggest & see what happens.
As usual, it'll no doubt turn out to be something simple being overlooked.
Thats what i love about flightsim - never a dull moment......
Thanks for the link too.
Off to have a read.
Cheers,
Ross.

Hi guys,
just a quick update for those who replied to my original post.
I checked all scenery areas & found i had a BGL file in my Static Objects Library duplicated in addon scenery/scenry.
when i removed this, all went back to normal.
I knew it was something simple!!!!
Thanks for the help guys,
Ross.

Well done! Thanks for letting us know. I'll keep that in mind one day incase it happens to me!

Hi AlisterC,
For reference, the file in question was RamplightLibrary.bgl
I know it was already in the Static Objects Library, but i don't remember installing it into addon scenery/scenery.
Best wishes & thanks,
Ross.
