Removing the airport services folder did not fix anything for me .

Hi everyone,

This is Dalibor from Atelic. I recently came across this thread and wanted to address some points here.

Unfortunately, due to a problem with our webmail provider, some messages/emails ended up in spam. I just noticed it now, and we apologize for that. Weā€™re starting to address all these reports immediately.

The solution shared by the community is indeed helpful: in addition to removing the contents of the Airport Services folder, please also delete the services.spb entry in layout.JSON as shown below. A reminder that the date might be different.

{
ā€œpathā€: ā€œAirportServices/airport-lpma-madeira/LPMA/Services.spbā€,
ā€œsizeā€: 558,
ā€œdateā€: 133736702157885134
}

If you have any problem with terrain/object spawn - re-check that you donā€™t have Vessels Madeira/Amsim Madeira airport or any other Madeira scenery in your community folder + that Asobo LPMA airport is removed in the content manager. Iā€™m sure nothing else can cause this problem.

We are also aware of the problems with FSLTL and are already working to fix them.

Otherwise, we are planning an update in the very near future that should fix all these issues and bring further improvements.

I hope this is clear. If you have further questions, please contact us at support@atelic.eu

Sincerely,
Dalibor
Atelic

Hi Dalibor, youā€™ve just made me purchase the airport. I was hesitating a bit after reading about the issues with the scenery but this is kind of a support I always love to see.

This is good to hear; you have a really good debut product here that just needs a few refinements. Once those have been made, this will be one of the simā€™s finest airports.

For me this solution does not work: still no push back!!

29

Try to reinstall the scenery, do the steps again, launch MSFS to menu so it recognises the change. Start MSFS again and see if that did the job.
Send us an email to support@atelic.eu after you try this and the pushback still does not work.

Send an email to support@atelic.eu because pushback still not working and nothing happens

31

Iā€™m not sure I fully understand what I am supposed to be deleting. Since services.spb is IN the airportservices folder, isnā€™t deleting it exactly the same as deleting the entire folder? Or am I missing something?

32

It should not make a difference but you still have to remove the lines from layout.JSON as mentioned above.

33

Forgive me, Iā€™m not so good with computers; how do I do that? So far Iā€™ve simply deleted the services.spb file from the relevant folder.

34

Another issue i am seeing is the failure of the lead in lights onto 05 occuring frequently. Ive spawned on the end of 05 and lights are vicible but on several flights into LPMA the lights have failed to load and no lead in strobes appear when on approach. Ive also seen on a LPMA/LPMA flight the lights be visible on departure but are gone on the return all at night.

35

Yes. This is something we know about and are actively working on the fix. I know many of you have seen that AMSim recreation had it, but we used a different approach which let us work more with the timing and stuff of the LDINs.

However, with the 2024 version around the corner, this should hopefully get fixed.

36

Yes, that should do it.

Regarding the edit of the layout.JSON, you can send the file to support@atelic.eu and I can take a look at it if that is what you would prefer.

37

Thanks. However I managed to figure it out (who knew all I needed to do was open it it notepad?!). Tugs have reappeared physically but donā€™t seem to work.

Does this issue with LPMA affect marshallers and VDGS? They also seem broken since I installed the scenery.

38

My pushback tugs have been working again for a few days now after following Dalixā€™s instructions (thanks for that!). And the VDGS is working too.

39

Yes, VDGS is working again now (or at least Nool is ā€” Iā€™ve not tried Aerosoftā€™s yet). maybe the tug was just broken at the airport I tried? Or maybe Iā€™ve not followed the instructions properly?

40

Fix worked for me; marshallers/tugs/VDGS all working again!
