Hi y'all,
Recently started updating my AUS airport again, this time adding approaches. I had started from scratch (long story) saving an airport file out of the afcad file from the AUS2007 addon scenery, and had no problems changing gates, adding buildings, etc. But when I started to add approaches to it, the next time I would start up the sim, the default addon airport would show, completely ignoring all changes made (it's basically just going with the default addon afcad included).
I have faced this problem before. Eliminating the "default addon" afcad simply reverts the airport back to the default FS2004 airport. Priority listing in the addon scenery was checked.
What may be causing this? Changes I made:
-Added waypoints for the approaches (all terminal_waypoints)
-Added ILS/RNAV approaches to 17L/35R (none yet for 17R/35L)
-Departures only out of 17R/35L, TOL ok for 17L/35R (this is symmetric, and even if it wasn't, this tends to only make the sim ignore your runway TOL designations, not outright clear your airport of modifications).
I experimented adding ILS s (no approaches added) to all 4 runway ends to see if that would fix the problem but again this had no effect. I'm aware without touching approaches or navaids, the airport is using the default approaches and navaids, and adding just 1 approach clears the default approaches until you remove the afcad.
This is actually the second time I have added approaches to this airport. The first time was not-eventful, but for some reason this time modifying approaches makes the sim ignore all changes.
The reason I'm doing it a "second time" is I forgot to save the airport files after a factory reset (years of work..), and attempting to create an airport file out of a bgl file you create with ADE in the past makes the sim ignore all changes, like in this case, so I had to start from scratch if I wanted to make any more changes.
