Strange Airport Recognition Problem at Mumbai

[crash_continental]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to give me some concrete advice on a problem I seem to be having with FsP flights in and out of
Mumbai International Airport (VABB). I've downloaded a great freeware scenery for it (I believe by Matthew Ministry and Manu Mistry) which
is really great and good on the FPS (as long as you remove one or two of the .bgl files for the surrunding areas). But problem with FsP
flights is this; depending on where you deplane/load on the tarmac, the arrival/departure airport comes up as blank. Then, if I've chosen
my destination (as I always do) I get a penalty for not arriving at the scheduled airport. So it seems that FsP does not recognize certain
parts of the airport. Moving those .bgl files back and forth did not seem to help.

One thing I did notice was that on taxying with an FsP loaded plane, certain parts of the airport trigger the 'off tarmac' sound effect. SO I
created a flatten file for the entire area, but it still seemed to do no good.

How does FsP determine what airport I;m at (it takes it off the GPS, does it not?) and what might be causing this? MOre importantly, how
might I resolve the issue? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Yeah, upon looking at the scenery files I found some 'fake' ones. Actually its legitmate airport scenery files, for ground vehicles and the
like, but somehow they come up in Lee's Swordy's AFCAD. They have a ICAO code as "NONE", which is what I got on my report as a
destination. These files seem to be on the same layer as the AFCAD file for the airport, so FsP for some reason picks them ahead of the
VABB. I tried changing all their ICAO codes to VABB in AFCAD, but not only did this not seem to fix the problem, it also rendered the files
invalid (for their scenery purposes).

Still, with them removed, FsP doesn't seem to see the airport. I just can't figure out why. I'm totally stumped on this one. Anyone else got
an idea?

When you try with built in atc to list the nearest airports, does your airport show up properly?

[crash_continental]

Yes, they seem to show up. However on the nearest airport list it comes up as Chhatrapati Shivaji, but the tower frequency is Mumbai
Tower (the ATIS Chhatrapati Shivaji, as well). Don't know if this change in names has something to do with it.

I just had the same thing happen. I declared the location before takeoff also and so got the "you landed at the wrong airport" penalty and
unlike tennis, you can't argue with the ump. I did yell at my PC also but it still didn't change the penalty for me.

I assume that it will work ok if I don't declare a destination? I get NONE for the airport also. I just want to check before I go to Bombay
again.

I also use that scenery add on minus a bgl or 2
