Frequently Asked Questions

Here some questions and answers:

I miss Feldkirchen, Niederoeblarn, Lienz und Schaerding in the go-to-airport menue!?

Unfortunately some files got lost when we put together the CD roms.
Please download that zip file:
sceneryfiles.zip
This zip file contains a folder called sceneryfiles.
Please copy the content of the folder into the "scenery" folder of the austrianairports2.
You can find this folder normally here:
C:\Programme\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\FSQuality\austrianairports2\scenery
That is where the content (the 6 *.bgl files, not the folder itself) of the "sceneryfiles" folder goes.
(that sceneryfiles folder you just downloaded, that means)


I want to remove the static Airliners. How is that done?

This is how you can do it:

The adress is somewhat like here:

In that folders there are a lot of *.bgl files.
Now look for the following files and rename them like described below:

viestair.bgl
LOWI_stat.bgl
sastat_3.bgl
klagstfl.bgl

rename that files into (with a left mouseclick and F2) :

After that the static airliners are gone.

Please donwload the two zip files below:
