VTBS in FSX
« on: August 31, 2016, 03:09:07 pm »
Hi

What is the airport VTBS Chon Buri Sattahip?
In FSX does not exist VTBS.

VTBS is Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Chon Buri Sattahip does not exist too.
List of airports in Thailand:

Maybe the point is the airport?
VTBT Chonburi Bang Phra Airport

Current VTBS was called VTBT in FSX, to the best of my knowledge.

That ICAO code (VTBT) is now used for Bang Phra. Some point in time after FSX stopped developing further, the change took place, and now FSX has a couple of errors in it of this kind. VTBS is Chon Buri only in X-Plane 9 and 10, but not in FS9 or FSX.
(Makes planning a tour in that region rather difficult...)

Hi everyone.

This is information for those who have FSX. In FSX there is no airport VTBS. I added in the Annex "VTBS_addon.bgl", which will make it possible to perform a flight.
Insert VTBS_addon.bgl to folder:
FSX folder - Addon Scenery - scenery
......and fly.
Important!
You need to fly to airports VTBD - Bangkok Intl in Thailand.

Hello all, just flew the VHHH-VTBS with the instructions for the addon and all worked.  Flogger worked as normal and logged the flight OK, Thanks to Andrew for the fix, Best Regards Bruce EHM-2131

Hi,

That didn't seem to work for me, though I may be doing something wrong, what do you mean you added the "Annex".  I have VTBS and VTBD in my version of FSX but the FLOGGER is not recognising the destination.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
Jonathan

With the Annex, Andrew meant the attachment to that post (see the link under the message tekst).
It is a *.bgl file you need to store in the addon sceneries folder of your FSX install, and things should work.
Have not had the opportunity to try it out myself, yet. But with 2 succesful attempts, things are looking good...

[EDIT]
Tried the workaround myself, and it worked as advertised  ;D
Working on a structural solution, but in the mean time, this BGL solution is the way to move forward.
Thank you, Andrew!

Yes. This is what I ment. Sorry my English not good.

Jonathan.
Paste VTBS_addon.bgl to:
FSX folder - Addon Scenery - scenery folder, and fly to VTBD.
