Hello, I'm the guy who wrote on facebook and I just registered an account here, as advised. Thessaloniki is my favourite FSX scenery, I want to congratulate you on a job magnificently done. Now, on to my questions:

I know for a fact that all greek C-130s are stationed at Elefsis outside of Athens. I want to know if there's a way to get rid of the C-130 without removing the rest of the statics.

The other thing that seems a bit weird is the way the runway lights look. They look different than the taxi lights, in a bad way. They look bigger-fatter, less precise-more blurry and not 3D-like. Is that because of a problem in my system, or is it intended?

Thanks in advance! Can't wait for Cpoenhagen and Schiphol!

Hi Giorgo,

Thanks for your kind words
About C-130, from a very recent trip, C130 was parked in front of the Olympic service hangar quite a few times. That's why it was included originally.

To remove it:
1. run the scenery manager and make sure the Apron Statics are 'activated'
2. find the file 'LGTS_StaticsApron.bgl' located into ''FSX folderAerosoft\Thessaloniki X\Thessaloniki X_1\scenery'' and rename it to 'LGTS_StaticsApron.old'
3. grab the attached file, unzip and drop the ''LGTS_StaticsApron.bgl' into that folder above.


Runway lights, those are controlled via AESLite which is specific for rwy light functionality (different from taxi lights). Taxi lights are seen from all angles whereas rwy lights must only be visible from approach angle. They shouldn't be creating much problems though, have some screenshot perhaps to check everything is ok?

I can not thank you enough, Emilie! Outstanding support from your side. FSDG is one of the best FS developers around, and rightly so. I'd like to thank you for the clarification regarding the runway lights, as well. Reading that made me believe that everything is fine on my system, but I also included one screenshot just to be sure. Είσαι κορυφή!!! Χίλια ευχαριστώ!

Your rwy lights appear fine but look a bit too 'red', perhaps you have REX installed? REX themes affect how rwy lights look, I find some REX themes create a nice yellow glow, while other might create some more 'reddish' one. In any case, they look fine
