Problem with adding Airport Outlines in Basestation

[Anmer]

OK, I'm now back home!

Can I first check your current situation?

You originally posted that you'd downloaded these files:

Taiwan Taoyuan International RCTP.out
Taipei Taoyuan.out
Taipei Songshan RCSS.out
Taipei Songshan.out
Shanghai Hongqiao ZSSS.out
Pudong.out
Shanghai Pudong ZSPD.out
Seoul Incheon.out
Seoul Incheon RKSI.out
Seoul Gimpo.out
Seoul Gimpo RKSS.out
Tokyo Narita.out
Tokyo_Narita_RJAA.out

Where from?  Was it this forum?

Do these outlines now display correctly for you in BaseStation?

When you ran debug, you saw an error for:

AFP_Hong Kong Lantau Island.out

You posted that removing this outline solved the runtime error.

But this outline wasn't in your original list (as above).  When was this out file installed and where from?

[Anmer]

I've created an outline file for Beijing Daxing PKX/ZBAD

@ Davfog

Any news for me regarding the bad outline file?

[Davfog]

Sorry, my browser was stuck on page 1, my fault.

The Lantau outline file would have been installed on my laptop in May because that's when I went to Hong Kong.  It didn't cause any issues until last week.

Nowadays, I get all my outlines from this forum and you personally have been extremely helpful in the past few years.

Thank you for the Daxing outline.

[Anmer]

Thanks.  Can you reply with the Lantau outline file as an attachment.  I would like to check it.  Do you know where it came from as I can't see one on this forum.

[Davfog]

Here you go. 

For some reason, I added AFP_ to the filename.  It causes a problem for me with or without the AFP prefix.

[Anmer]

Thanks.  I found the problem.  There were a number of empty lines at the end of the file.  With these, BaseStation errored.

I've now removed them and all is good.  I've attached the amended file.  Please try.

Do you know from where you obtained the file?  It shows:

(c) Produced by Netcop

If the file was downloaded with the empty lines, it will cause errors for others too.

[Davfog]

Well, that one worked fine and looks good on the screen.

However, this one now is causing an error.

US_AFP_Chicago_OHare_KORD.out

This is most odd as I was using it in July and it still works on my screen.

I've attached it should you want to take a look.

[Anmer]

I can't see anything wrong with the Chicago file which loads and displays OK for me.

Are you sure this file is the problem?

[Davfog]

I get this after reloading Outlines

And these are the last few lines from the debug screen.

Can I take a look with you using a Remote Connect session?

[Davfog]

You're welcome to try.  The laptop lives in a wardrobe upstairs and I remote on to it from my study downstairs.

[Anmer]

I've sent you a Personal Message.

[Anmer]

Just to close this thread.

I made a Remote session and we found a bad Outline file.  It had a header line:

GE image date 8/3/2011}

Instead of:

{GE image date 8/3/2011}

Editing the file in Notepad resolved the BaseStation error when reloading Outlines.
