Hi all,
New to AH and I've been having a bunch of fun so far. I went with the original version so I could import custom scenery, and promptly imported scenery. My hope was to run a bush operation in PNG, using the two ORBX scenery packs for the region - AYPY and TAP airports, which together add around a dozen little bush strips high in the mountains.
I understand there have been issues with AH in the past not liking these kinds of strips, but takeoffs and landings from them work fine within AH - no damage received, recognized as the right location etc. The only problem is, AH seems not to ever generate any jobs to or from these strips. The only way I was able to test takeoffs and landings from them was to designate one (Tapini) as a base. I successfully completed outbound and return jobs, no issues. But none of the other strips seem to have jobs generated, even with the option sliders set as low as possible for "distance" and "strip size".
The common characteristic of all the strips that don't get jobs generated for them is that they don't seem to have any runways recognized within the sim. I mean the runway is there, you can land on it fine. It appears as an airport on the sim map, and on the map within AH. But the runway length shows 0, or where the runway information would be is just blank. I'm thinking that might be the reason AH won't create jobs to or from?
Curious if anyone else has run into this issue with this scenery, and if there's a known work-around. I guess my other option is to buy the PacSim "raw grit" package which adds all the same airports. I have some PacSim pacific islands scenery and love it, but the AK ORBX stuff I have is really in a class of its own, and PNG is gorgeous too. But I'm open to trying the PacSim PNG stuff too.
Any thoughts are appreciated...
