A couple of weeks have passed since an XP12 version of WorldEditor was released, so I figure it's safe to give thnigs a try.
Let's see how things work trying to get historic scenery into XP12.
So first up I've made a second copy of XP12, and I'm going to test Europe 1980 scenery. Making a second copy (just by copying) has gone fine. I wanted to delete all the Laminar default aircraft I'm never going to use - but XP 12 won't start-up unless the Cessna 172 SP, Cirrus SR22, Sikorsky S-76 and Stinson are present. It would have been nice to get rid of them all, but at least removing the other 16 aircraft has saved over 7Gb of disc space.
I've left the default scenery as is, cleared out the Custom Scenery folder and copied over my European 1980 airports, with links to object libraries in my main XP11 folder (a great way to save disc space as you only need each library once on your system). So far so good, the custom 1980s airports show up over the default airports. Here's my "home" airport, Belfast/Aldergrove.
Next up to see if I can replace the default navigation data with my custom files. After that can I get rid of the default airports in part or completely?
