Wrong Airport Warning

[Northern Warrior]

The last three FSP flights I've made have all told me I landed at the wromg airport, even though I actually touched down at the correct one!

Any idea why this might happen? On the first occasion I had disconnected from ATC and flew a GPS approach, second occasion
something similar. Just now I had requested Rwy 9R from default ATC after they allocated 9L, was cleared to 9R on initial approach
though final approach tried to get me back on 9L which I ignored (as all the AI was landing there).

Surely FSP should still recognise the aircraft has landed at the correct airport, if not the runway approved by ATC?

I've now lost 1050 pilot points as a result of this.

Just to clarify, I have a fully purchased and licenced copy of FSP, FS2004 and not running any other add-ons which might interfere with it.

As you can see, FSP has me landing at JFGL and JFLP (wherever they are) rather than the correct airports which I did land at.

Guess I may have to try an uninstall and reinstall if all else fails but I will lose the current company and pilots.

[Dutch64]

Those JF entries are most likely helipads on the airport scenery. If your plane lands too close to those helipads it will be considered as your
destination.
If you do a search on the forum you will find several topics about this and how to solve it. (I would just remove those helipads but that's just one
solution; ) )

[Northern Warrior]

Well I think something may have corrupted my FS install, as when I go to Flight Planner and select Heathrow it is coming back on the
menu as the helipad. i will have to see if I can work out what might have gone wrong or what I might have instaled add-on wise to do this
(a couple of freeware aircraft is all).

[Northern Warrior]

Problem solved...

I uninstalled a freeware DC9 panel I had installed - Panel_DC9_high/SAS_DC9v50.exe - author unknown - and the problem (together with
an FSSound.dll and ADF2Mod.dll warning at start up), now seems to have gone away.
