GSX with Flightbeam KSFO no longer works
Alphatango2:
Well, I don't know what happened but I checked my scenery library and all my FSDT were not installed. (Area in the p3d scenery library) All were active but not installed. Manually reinstalled the area into the p3d scenery library and now everything works as it should including all the gates everywhere....

Can you elaborate more? You're not providing enough details about where the .ini file is. There is no .ini file in the Roman folder. Will you provide each and every folder that takes us to the exact folder that the .ini file is in, and provide the exact file name.

- Rename to .off any pre-update ini file you may have had in the past.

What do you mean by "Rename to .off?" I don't understand what you mean by the term "off" and why it has to be renamed.

By the way, all of the issues discussed in these posts are support for the FSX and P3D, not MSFS 2020.

Hey Ken,
it means that all GSX config files have an extension "airport icao code-random numbers and letters.ini". To make GSX not see the airport you either have to change the airport name or change the extension so it is not an *.ini file. In flight simming the general procedure is to rename the extension to *.off.
For example:
"ksfo-sigju.ini" becomes "ksfo-sigju.off". This way you still have your original file for when this issue is fixed, but GSX no longer knows what the file is.
Other ways of achieving the same result:
- Rename the airport part, e.g. "k_fo-sigju.ini". however I don't like it because GSX will still see the file and might wonder what airport "k_fo" is.
- Keep the file name as it is, but remove it from the folder. However now you have files laying elsewhere that in the future you have no idea what they are or where you have placed them.

Okay, I see what you mean now. I would be like renaming it to .bak, or something like that. I just never heard of .off being used as an extension.
Ken.
