Many thanks again, for that further clarification, Dick !
BTW: IIRC there was a scenery discussion thread at AVSIM years ago wherein you had identified and explained ACES' ongoing use of FS2Kx legacy format VTP scenery within a isolated area (of Siberia or Mongolia ?) in FSX RTM; however, I could not find that discussion again after AVSIM forum software updates changed the URLs for my hundreds of 'bookmarked' threads.
Thus, I'm compelled to ask:
* Must one exclude the FSX format CVX vectors in order to use the FS2Kx legacy format LWM / VTP version of vector scenery
within the same Geographic area; in other words, does the FSX terrain rendering engine tolerate only
one format of '
vector' BGL (either FSX- or FS2Kx-) ...to be rendered at a time for identical vector object "types" ?
* Do I remember correctly that use of the FS2Kx legacy format LWM / VTP version of vector scenery in FSX is subject to similar rules as with FSX CVX format vectors, in that one is required to NOT intersect
or overlap nearby vector objects of the same "types" and/or VTP layer numbers to avoid '
excluding' them, regardless of whether such objects are FS2Kx or FSX format (...or a combination of both FS versions for the same object "types") ?
* Can both FSX
and FS2Kx BGLs provide vector scenery content of the same "types" to be rendered concurrently
within the same Geographic area from their own respective native FS version BGL formats ...as long as the vector object intersection / overlap 'exclusion' caveats are observed ?
Thanks in advance for any info on how (2) FS versions of such BGLs may be utilized in the same FSX Geographic area.

BTW: Your screenies at C59 remind me of good times I had flying IRL to "Lake Lawn" with my colleague years ago.
We also once had to divert our intended "straight-in" approach when a twin engine aircraft suddenly took off south bound from C59; turns out that the CTAF frequency had been changed a year earlier, and that particular "infrequent flyer" had not done any flight planning to encounter info on the new radio frequency to be used at C59.
But that was only one of
several near-misses I've had with twin engine aircraft pilots who were not paying attention.
