Post by: Biggles50 on June 14, 2013, 09:23:02 AM
Hi All

I am new to the forum and live in the UAE so hope to contribute with updated information from here.

One quick request having just reinstalled my SBS on my new PC i have for some reason lost all of my airfield outlines and approach paths etc for all the UAE fields

Also my sqb file has disappeared and despite the fact i though i had backed this up properly i obviously didnt ! :-X

I cant seem to find where these can be downloaded so i some one can point me in the right direction that would be great

Many Thanks

If you have lost your SQB sbs will start a new one.

This means you will start from scratch.

Welcome.

How did you install Basestation on the new PC?  Did you copy files from the old one or did you use a Basestation CD file for a "fresh" install?

And do you have access to the files on the old PC?

Does that mean you have no access to any of the files from the previous PC?

Hi Biggles50, and welcome  :)

If the outlines you want aren't available you can have a go at creating your own using:

http://www.acme.com/jef/outlines/ (http://www.acme.com/jef/outlines/)

There's also a guide on outlines created by Anmer (so worth a read!) available from the downloads area of this forum.
This gives some good information about outline files and how to use the above mentioned tool.

I've emailed you airport outlines for Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Is it airport outlines you want or country borders/coastlines or anything else?

Hi Anmer

Thanks for the email  all received

If you have any other airport outlines for the UAE that would be great, also if you have Bali and Surabaya they would be useful for my forthcoming holiday

cheers
