I'd like to note that I am not using the FlightZone02_LC Landclass directory at all because I am using, and have really enjoyed the wonderful Landclass, Roadway\Railway\River\Lake\Creek\Stream, software GEX\UTX which covers the whole USA and has incredible satellite based GIS\GPS accurate detail...
Here is what I removed until our beloved FZ02 is finally made available and of which I hope I live long enough to see...
Note 1: I do still get some FZ02 ground texture bleedthrough if my camera is close to the ground but if I pan in spotview at about 40' or 50' AGL the bleed disappears...
Note 3: The entire Landclass FlightZone02_LC directory can still be used in FSX\Sp1\Sp2 as I have tested it with no problems at least on my machine... It was beautifully created and is very accurate for the FZ02 area if one is not using the GEX\UTX addon packages...
Here are the files I found caused many on the problems in FSX for me...
Remove:-
1W1-ground01v2.bgl (great PDX photo scenery but many of the buildings are black... If the bgl was recompiled without all those black buildings the whole FZ02 area would look just about perfect...
All FZ02 Tree bgl's needed removing...
hio-rwy01.bgl
hio-rwy02.bgl
hio-tarmac01.bgl
hio-tarmac02.bgl
hio-trees01.bgl
hio-trees02.bgl
hio-trees03
PDX_trees03-01.bgl
PDX_trees03-02.bgl
PDX_trees03-03.bgl
PDX_trees03-04.bgl
PDX_treesAMF.bgl
PDX_treeseastpk.bgl
PDX_treesFltcft.bgl
PDX_treespt5.bgl
PDX_treespt9.bgl
PDX_treespt11.bgl
PDX_treessouth.bgl
PDX_treestwr.bgl
pdx-dirtsrwyCv2.bgl
pdx-dirtsrwyEv2.bgl
pdx-dirtsrwyWv2.bgl
All pdx-tarmac bgl's needed removing...
pdx-tarmac2_E.bgl
pdx-tarmac2_W.bgl
pdx-tarmac2_Wa.bgl
pdx-tarmac2v2.bgl
pdx-2004seasons.bgl needed removing...
ttd_tarmac01.bgl
ttd_tarmac02.bgl
ttd_tarmac03.bgl
ttd-trees.bgl
vuo-tarmac01.bgl
vuo-tarmac02.bgl
vuo-trees01,bgl
vuo-trees02.bgl
vuo-trees03.bgl
I also used the FSXPlanner and the Airport Design Editor programs to edit the FSX master Airport Afcad APX15150.bgl which is found in the FSX\Scenery\0101 directory... (Note - by pj.. I have no idea what he did here..)
This APX15150.bgl was easily converted using Bgl2Xml.exe if needed...
I still need to move a bit more the default FSX APX15150.bgl's, Jetways and parking to align with the FZ02 Terminal buildings and Jetways more accurately and this can be done nicely in either of the free FSXPlanner program or the Airport Design Editor programs which sync's nicely with an FSX Top-Down slew mode while FSX is running...
I hate to add anything else here but I have to note, that at least for me, if I also remove:
kpdxrwylights.bgl
kvuorwylights.bgl
kttdrwylights.bgl
I keep all my Dusk\Nite\Dawn runway lights and flashing strobes\Rabbit turned on during these hours... BUT, and for whatever reason I cannot explain, and maybe Vauchez can, I lose seeing all daytime AI aircraft... Dusk\Nite\Dawn AI aircraft show up perfectly, only the daytime planes disappear... This has happened only since FSX SP2... All the AI is still working, you just cannot see the planes... I see all their lights and rubber smoke on landings, but no aircraft, if those bgls listed just above here are installed... Remember crazy as this is with these same bgl's removed I also see all my Dusk\Nite\Dawn runway lights...
Now if I install those 3 bgl's I will see all my AI aircraft perfectly during Day\Dusk\Nite\Dawn but I will loose all my Dusk\Nite\Dawn runway lights and strobes within the FZ02 area... If I'm flying to Seattle's SEATAC KSEA all AI aircraft and runway lights work perfectly because I'm out of the FZ02 area... Go figure... I have removed SP2 and everything works fine in the FZ02 area regarding seeing all my AI aircraft and all runway lights but SP2 does something strange to say the least within these 3 bgl's...
If you have installed UT upgrade, all the files listed below should have been renamed from .bgl to .ori
HL915150_FZ02_EX
HP915150_FZ02_EX
RD915150_FZ02_EX
RR915150_FZ02_EX
ST915150_FZ02_EX
If it's not the case, rename them manually to .ori and see if the problem is gone in FS.
