Yes, disabling the default OBX files definitely has a significant risk of unintended negative consequences.

It was not so easy to exclude default files with just new exclusions. I made an exclusion which is going to be placed in its own folder and loaded before the KGRR scenery. The trick is to add a KGRR with no buildings, then the scenery from Dillon Rocque. Runs fine here with the default afcad.

Thanks!

Just for clarification - add this above or below GRR in the library?

do you mind showing a screenshot of your scenery order so we get it right?

How is it different to recompiling with an exclude area?

It does not work.

Just add it below the scenery on the screen. Then the main scenery, then summer, then winter.

Below on the P3D scenery screen. It must be loaded firtst, to disable the default scenery, then GRR is loaded on top of it. 

didn't work for me.  So are you saying you create a separate folder for these?  I'm calling it GRR test.  Then within GRR test make a scenery folder.  Put these two ADEP5 exclude files in there.  Add to the scenery library.  But at a lower level than the other two KGRR folders?  I did that and still getting the grass runway thing. 

Working fine here in v5.2HF1 with no exclude. In Scenery Library the Summer layer has a higher priority than the main airport.

GSX2 jetways working nicely too.

 

thanks ray.  I had them flipped around in my ordering.  

Only issue now.  DL not working on pbr aircraft

Ray.  Turns out I actually needed the exclude file.  Though your tip helped me fix my grass problem.  If you look at your roof of the terminal you will see it's not the right look.  exclude fixes that.

Sorry Mic, thought you know how to install sceneries. Yes, a separate folder, I called it KGRR exclude and it goes below the scenery. One file is a exclude file (CVX) and the other an airport with only runways. Don't know if the latter is really needed but I thought it may help too, since it is just the runways and replaces the default airport. Then you load the new airport on top of it. Above this the summer and the winter but only one of them is active. 

I don't know about the grass runway thing. Maybe you have not installed the airport according to the installation procedure.

Thanks for the two excludes. I have placed both into a folder that has a higher priority than the KGRR scenery. But they don't appear to remove the default buildings.

@micstatic, the excludes don't seem to have any impact for me. I've renamed the APX25160.bgl so it isn't loaded. The airport buildings look just the same as my first shot which suggests everything I see is part of the package and no default stuff.

I do.  The problem was I swapped the two KGRR airport folders in the order.  So your excludes are working perfectly.  It was a mistake I made that have nothing to do with your instructions.  sorry for the run around.  thanks again for your help
