    Thank you for this really nice scenery!

    I tested it in MSFS2024 and most things are looking the same as with the 2020 version.

    The only thing that hopefully can be fixed are the big rows of trees next to the runway. Shown in the photos below.

    Thank you again for this beautiful scenery.

    But there is stil a problem with FSLTL traffic. No FSLTL traffic is showing up at all for me.

    When I remove the scenery or when I use a different GBYD scenery, the traffic works again. Any fix for this otherwise tremendously beautiful scenery? Thanks a lot in advance.

    Thanks for the awesome scenery. Do you mind using the FSTO dependency section to tag the required/optional dependencies? It would help make it more convenient for users to see what is required and FSTO will warn of outdated libraries. Thank you!

    I did try to do this on the initial upload, but I couldn't see anywhere in the preset boxes to add this data.
    I'll try again with the next upload.

    It's very simple. In your upload right next to the images section you find "More". That's where you manage the dependencies.

    Thank you so much for making this wonderful, unique airport. It is an airport close to me and I've always hoped someone would bring it to MSFS. We are a little closer to being able todo the West African hopper routes of ASKY or further back in time with Ghana Airlines and Air Afrique. :)

    Can I make a suggestion - please remove the ground clutter and pushback equipment infront of the gates? I would love to make a realistic GSX profile for this airport sometime as well and not having any equipment in the way when you taxi out of the stand would help! At this airport, planes power out as pushback is not available. As such, you need to be able to move forward and make a right turn onto the taxiway infront. Also, I seem to have some pink textures with the ground clutter you have placed. :(

    Again, thank you so very very much! I look forward to many more African airports! :)

    Hello.

    I’m not too sure what’s going on there, maybe you have another version of Banjul in your folder because my scenery doesn’t have any clutter infront of the stands as they taxi out.
    I never placed any clutter there.

    It doe look like you have a conflict.

    I found it, a old installation of AFRICA2GO in a weird corner of my MSFS install.

    All good now. :) Thanks again!
