Just for interest, I tried a simple installation of the airport (I have default scenery in the area).
I only activated the CYYR_Goose Bay scenery layer, ignoring the Labrador LC/WC/Regional Airports folders.
The scenery looks great, and I see no problems.
The only airport in the Labrador Regional Airports folder that gets CalClassic AI traffic in 1962 is CYDP, which gets a Maritime Central DC4 or C-46 3 times a week.

That traffic BGL and those aircraft folders come with the default installation, so they need to be removed.

So Tom, what year are you going to use?

I'll use whatever year I'm flying at the moment.

On the matter of the installation, the Read Me for the original Flight Ontario installer makes it quite clear that ai aircraft and traffic are being installed, although it does not list the ai aircraft concerned or list additions to stock scenery files. Installers sometimes do very unpleasant things like changing basic files without telling you, and it is always good practice to install to a dummy folder first, see exactly what is being put there, and then copy across the files you want. I perhaps did not do this originally, because I have just deleted the ai aircraft from my aircraft folder; on the other hand, the traffic file is not present on my system. Either I deleted it or I never installed it.

Meanwhile I installed the updated version "goosebay2" but get a CTD. This doesn't happen with first version inculding about twenty files more. Any idea what could be the reason respectively which file could be the cause?

Bernard, This happened to me when I deleted the entire texture folder and simply put in the one in the new download. Delete your present texture folder, copy in the original Flight Ontario texture folder and then copy the new textures into that folder. It has been extensively tested and we are as sure as we can be that there are no problems with it, Ken On final for Runway 34 in a visibility of 3 miles, real world weather from 25th December 2021. I used GCA here as well as the rmi needle, but the Range station is just visibile to the right of the ship; you may need a little imagination.

Ken, thanks for your tip. That was it! I forgot to reinstall the Flight Ontario part. It also explained the less numeber of files.

This looks to have been an excellent place for Plane spotting. I have the mid fifties version installed, and with fighters, bombers, cargo, and civil, it caught everyone's interest.

All looks great. Have been flying with 1957 Traffic operating in all four seasons and so far no problems and no CTD.

While working through the installation process for this magnificent scenery (not finished with the traffic yet), I ran into a few anomalies. The first one was trees on a large part of the manoeuvring area, but that turned out to be caused by custom global scenery textures I have installed. I could determine which single texture it was and removed the autogen annotation file (.agn) for that one, which solved the problem. The second one concerns land vs. water and coastline issues. Here are two illustrations: Goose Bay Churcill River mound There may be more instances but I did not extensively search for them. Now I noticed the spot in the lower left of the first picture in Ken's video on final approach for runway 26 here too, so I'm not the only one seeing this. It already occurs after installing the Flight Ontario Goose Bay scenery, which makes sense since all the landscaping was provided by them. Do others see the same, or is at least part of it due to something specifcally on my computer? Could be addons, layering et cetera. If more users see what I see then I want to try and create a solution for it, to share. Ohterwise I think I should first search on my system for causes. Erik

Hi Erik, Others may want to chip in on this, but allowing for the use of different textures your screenshots are what I am seeing. These features do come from the original Flight Ontario files and although one might try simply deleting some of them that might well have more serious effects. As I do not fly over sceneries in a helicopter I do not usually trouble too much about things I do not see on approach and departure, because in both these scenarios I am not looking at the scenery except to the extent that it allows me to approach and land or depart properly. This is not, then, as far as I can see, an issue with your computer, but if you could succeed in doing something about it that would be most welcome. The correct state of affairs can, of course, be seen in satellite photographs, Ken

From what I'm seeing, it looks VERY much like some of the issues I was having with PW when doing coastlines or redoing islands. It has to do with landclass (LC), land and water masking (LWM), and shorelines (VTP lines for shores). What you're seeing is the default shorlines and water not playing well with some newer stuff that was meant to work with addon scenery. You're missing some of the files (bgl for land and water, but can't tell just from a picture) that are supposed to fix the issues with compatibility. SBuilder9 (not sure about SBuilderX) outputs files with a prefix of "0_" and "000_" which deal with VTP excludes and LWM, respectively. The VTP excludes are those that get rid of the default layers for roads, polygons, shores, etc. The LWM adds the masking for where to show the land/water in the sim. There are also files with a suffix of "VTPP.bgl" which are the new polygons (airport skirting, grass, polygon-type towns or cities, etc.), as well as "VTPL.bgl" which are VTP lines representing roads, shores, etc. Any of the "LC" or "WC" files (landclass and waterclass, respectively) should be in their own folder WITHOUT a texture subfolder. You can have them in the same scenery folder with a texture folder, but ONLY if they don't have the "LC" or "WC" label in the name. For example, "goosebay_landclass.bgl" would be fine and cause no issues. Flight Ontario apparently did a great job since I've only heard good things about them. It may be that some of their scenery files for land and water are needed at a LOWER priority than the newer scenery to have a good "base" upon which to install the new scenery. Either that, or they need to be in the same folder as the airport stuff. It depends on the instructions. I don't have those, so I can't be more specific. It's definately the default shores and land, however, that you're seeing there. The right-hand oval, for example, is new land with shores that was added. You can tell because the LC file info is missing from the LOD13 square. The bottom-right of the LOD13 square is the right-angle a the bottom-right of this particular oval. The original coastline is peeking out in the other oval at the lower left of the image. The right-angle at the upper-left of that oval is the upper-left corner of that particular LOD13 square. The land inside the upper oval is the default land. Can't tell very well, but it appears to be based on the fact there looks to be a small "river" or something on the lower-left portion of the land that is there. Can't tell you more than that without knowing something about the instructions. I'd have to look at the packages involved to see what may be going on here. Too many things going on at home right now, but I'll see what I can do. Regards, Jorge Miami, FL
