MUXP not finding .dsf files (X-Plane 12)

[FenixDigitalB]

Hello!

I'm working on quite a lot of little airstrips that are not included in Global Scenery in X-Plane 12.

As you know, Laminar Research removed the option "runways follow terrain" and WED does not flatten sceneries any more. Instead you need to ask Scenery Gateway to create the place, then you create the scenery and when it is promoted to final and included in the global scenery finally you get the flatten area around it. This is insane and the only option to solve this is by modifying meshes locally... that's why I needed MUXP.

I have read the manual, watched the videos, and I think I understood well enough everything. What I need is very simple (the option 'flatten' in MUXP).

Since my project covers the whole country, I grouped the 'airports' by province, wich can have several (about 20 - 30 by area).

I started with a little runway in the middle of the country in Argentina, which ID code is 2602 (which stands for LAD2602 which is a number assigned by our CAA to registered airstrips).

Everything goes fine, I can create the muxp file, then I select it in the 'main' window and I clicked 'Start muxp".

It says 'Searching available meshes for -34-067. Please WAIT ...' and it dies there. Does not continue any further, never stops and no error appear. Just stays there like if it have entered an infinite-loop. But the program is not irresponsive (Windows does not tell me 'program is not responding') if I close the window it just closes (I closed after more than an hour waiting).

muxp.log shows that it seems to be looking for the dsf files at global scenery, where it will not find the 2602 ICAO code, because it is in the custom scenery. Curiously it did find the airport in the custom folder, because the name of the airport was correctly picked by muxp. The problem is when it tries to find the .dsf files.

I tried to force it looking my custom scenery dsf specifically, but when I click 'select' to tell muxp to use a specific dsf source it only finds one scenery package (I have 66 installed) and I cannot choose the package, because muxp won't find it.

Does it work in X-Plane 12?

Any clue of what can be causing this issue?

I am using X-Plane 12. And it says "X-Plane 11 global scenery" which is incorrect...

This lead me to a kind of solution.

MUXP is working only with X-Plane 11 because it is looking the default .dsf in X-Plane 11 global scenery and the folder in X-Plane 12 is named "X-Plane 12 global scenery".

So I saved the config specifying "X-Plane 11 global scenery", then edited the config file and changed 11 by 12.

And now it worked (but not using the custom scenery dsf but the global one, which is not correct in my humble opinion. The dsf to be used is the one that WED puts in the custom scenery folder. Am I wrong?

MUXP does not find the .dsf in the custom scenery folder that I specified at the beggining of the work.

I have the same troubles, too. Please correct the nice too. At time i added the correct dsf file in the config file. dsfSourcePack: Custom Scenery\zOrtho4XP_+50+008

Dear @FenixDigitalB , Dear @goon818 , thanks for still using MUXP. I stopped flying X-Plane and this did not continue my work on MUXP. There are ways to get MUXP running with XP 12, as the links to XP Forum below will describe. However, appart from the wrong folder you may encounter issues with water, as there where also changes here in XP 12. Actually, my hope was that Laminar would find an easy way to edit mesh in new versions of XP.

Hi, just saying that this issue still exists on 0.4.0.1 with X-Plane 12 even after trying the steps above
