GSX not reading the right bgl **SOLVED**
couger:
Hi there. I’ve recently re installed all my p3d4 and add ons. Everything is running fine except for gsx and a couple of add on airports. GSX is reading the default bgl file for them and p3d plus all my other software like proatcx is reading the add on bgl file. The add on file I know works fine because I used to have it working fine before I did the re install.
The only thing I could think of is that the bgl add ons I put in an addon scenery folder witch is outside of the p3d folder. Is this a problem and is there a way I can get gsx to read the external addon scenery folder.

GSX doens't have any problems reading AFCAD files anywhere in your system. Since you don't say which add-ons you are referring to, and where ( exactly ) they are located, is not possible to say more.

I’m not saying it has a problem reading the file. I’m saying it’s not reading the right one.
The file I’m talk)ng about is nzaa. It’s a bgl file I got from flyawaysim.com. By ray ?someone. I can’t remember all details. But I have put these files in the addon scenery folder witch I put in c/program files/Lockheed Martin/addon scenery/scenery
The readme.txt file mentions to put this folder outside of the p3d folder. Is this the problem? I don’t know.
The addon scenery folder is activated in p3d scenery page and I have made it highest on the list. Previously before I re installed everything this scenery worked fine with gsx.
I’m running win1064b p3d4.5.

You seems to assume GSX couldn't read the file because it was not in the same drive/folder as the sim, that's why I replied with "GSX doens't have any problems reading AFCAD files anywhere in your system". The important bit was the "anywhere in your system" here.

Why you keep suggesting this, even after I already confirmed it's not a problem. All our sceneries are installed outside the simulator so no, that's not the problem.

Could be this file is larger than the default 2MB threshold for a file to be possibly considered an AFCAD ? So, in the past, you set the airportCacheMaxBGLSizeBytes in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali\Couatl.INI file to an higher value, and forgot about it ?
couger:
I doubt I have changed that file from 2mb. I wouldn’t even know how to do that. The only reason I mention the folder outside the sim folder is because that’s the only thing I have done different from the last install. If that’s not it then so be it. I’m looking for answers why this might happen. And you just keep asking me why I think it’s the folder location. I don’t think it is. It was just a thought.
So can you please tell me what reasons might be causing this issue. The bgl file is 3.2mb. But I know I never edited any ini file on my last install. So why would it work then and not now.
Can you please just give me some ideas to try to fix this issue as I use nzaa a lot. Like I said if you need any info let me know what you need and I’ll get it for you.
