Aiframe specific config

(1/4) > >>

Raznboth:
Is there anyway to make a gsx aircraft profile for a specific reg/airframe ? like what FSL did, airframe A with belt and airframe B with ULD.

i want to make something like that but for example airframe A will use airframe while airframe B will use the embeded stairs instead, both being the same aircraft type.

What GSX can do, is having different configuration for different sub-version of the main model that for some reason have a shared folder ( like the PMDG 747-8i, which uses the -400 folder and an external configurator ).

To what you are asking, we need to add support for multiple GSX.CFG files, possibly based on the atc_id, which a standard we can use to recognize the airplane, for example, if your plane is named HB-IHZ, a GSX.CFG file with this name:

GSX-HB-IHZ.CFG

might be loaded instead of the default one. Do you think that might work ? It might be a possible solution but, of course, we need to code it.

Your suggestion is already in:

https://www.fsdreamteam.com/couatl_liveupdate_notes.html

To use this feature, you must create a copy of an existing GSX.CFG file, and name it by adding a dash and the airplane registration to it.

EXAMPLE: To create an airframe-specific file for the FS Labs A320 EasyJet G-EZTA, make a copy of an existing GSX.CFG for that plane here:

%APPDATA%\Virtuali\Airplanes\FSLabs A320 CFM

Rename the copied file as GSX-G-EZTA.CFG. This will be used instead of the standard GSX.CFG file when that particular airframe is loaded. The airplane registration code is the same of the ATC_ID parameter of the aircraft.cfg file and is read through Simconnect when the airplane loads.

Please let me know if there are any issues with it.

Yes thats what i meant, and wow that was fast, i'll test ASAP, thank you

CS-TMT:
It would be useful if there is a note in the manual that when using the airframe specific config, the main/built-in gsx.cfg should be removed for it not to be used instead of the specific config.
Having both a gsx.cfg and a gsx-F-WWBA.cfg, the "main" not specific cfg will always be used.
