Autogen bridges

[Roger]

Anyone know how to remove these (especially by region). I have VFR terrain for England and Wales and most of the autogen bridges start or stop in untenable places ;D

Cheers,

Roger.

Look in Scenery\Generic\scenery for a couple bgls that have Bridges in the name. I think those might be the ones

Autogen bridges are part of the VTP layers and can be removed from areas using the VTP Exclude.

From the SBuilder help document:

"VTP Exclude Polygons

You can exclude default roads, polygons and other VTP scenery by using a polygon of type equal to "Exclude". The exclusion is on an Area and on a Layer basis. You should press F3 to display the LOD13 grid. Every LOD13 square entered by the exclusion polygon will be candidate for exclusion. The other thing that you need, is to set the layers to be exclude. In FS2004, default rivers are in Layer 4, roads are in Layer 6, railroads in Layer 5, coastlines in Layer 8, bridges and airport polygons in Layer 7 and electricity pylons in Layer 4."

The problem here would be that airports and bridges are in the same layer??

Don't know if I'd mess with the 'bridges*.bgl's. According to file dates (and that they aren't present on the install cd's) these were both install by the 9.1 upgrade and are probably scenery libraries or placement for the custom bridges in the upgrade.

Maybe Jon or one of the other scenery experts help further (or correct me if I'm wrong)

Thanks for the reply fellas I'm working it. Seems like 2 of the bridges I'm trying to get rid of are not autogen.

If they are 'custom' bridges they can be excluded with a normal exclude. Just draw a small exclude rectangle around the approx. center of the bridge.
