This parking is isolated - again!
FOD:
The problem is that it covers all scenery airfields - default or add-on so you cannot just reinstall one. . After several hours yesterday, I found it working ok, then this morning, it suddenly started again giving me that error - so I’m now back to square one.
Oh for a copy of the files before this updare ……….

Hi Everyone,
I believe I have found the root cause of all our GSX gate/parking space grief since the update
of the new GSX, for all us P3Dv4/v5 users.
I too was suffering with some airports reporting no available gate/parking available for GSX to use
and when checking the GSX customise airport option it would only return 0 or 1 parking/gate in the list.
After a day of testing and investigation on P3Dv5 I have narrowed down the problem to be a missing entry
from the .ini files that are used by GSX to determine the available gates/parking for a given airport.
That is why some have reported that if they removed the .ini files it solved the problem. A little too
drastic for my taste as you would end up with all your user config's for each airport being lost !!
Let me explain my finding's right or wrong, but it fixed it for me and may provide help for Umberto to fix
the cause. Some of the airports I use worked OK but many didn't. It appears that a change
has been made in the new GSX that requires a mandatory entry in the .ini against every gate/parking section otherwise GSX does
not read the file. This entry is as follows if missing.
parkingsystem = 0 <-- add this to each (gate/parking) entry (if missing) in affected airport scenery .ini file.
0 is for "no parking system" but it may be another value depending on what's configured as long as the entry exist with a value.
it will work. You can change this from within GSX once a entry is added to the .ini file to reflect the correct type of parking system.
Please note that there may be .ini files in the scenery it self provided by the author which contains the parking/gates.
Each entry must contain the above line as well. Also note that if modified by GSX in the past a .ini file will exist under
AppData/Roaming/virtuali/GSX for that airport change this as well. Be aware to back these changes up otherwise if the scenery is updated
or reinstalled they may be over written.
Here is an example modified entry only add to parking and gate sections NOT general:

FOD:
Interesting option but afraid did not solve my problems which I have isolated to one group of add-on airfields - other such as default and FSDT developed airfields are ok.
My group is about 10 UK2000 airfields which were developed before about 2019 - all were ok with previous GSX versions - since the update they all are unuseable.
Pete Dowson:
I've applied the recent update for GSX and my other FSDT products, and successfully used it for an LFPG departure.
But, like the original post in this thread, on arrival at LSGG, I can't find a gate which isn't declared by GSX as being "isolated", so it refuses to provide any services. This is very odd, especially considering the LSGG scenery I have is by DreamTeam and was seemingly updated at the same time.
I don't have any user modifications to taxiways or gate properties at this airport.
Surely this must be a bug -- so why has Umberto, or at least an FSDT support person not chipped in yet?

Hi, P3D v4.5.14.34698. Win 11 Build 22622.
I also have a problem at Heathrow EGLL, UK2000 scenery.
After the latest update I have only 1 parking slot available.
Tried, deleting the relevant INI file from Roaming/Virtuali/Gsx, made no difference.
Tried, adding ParkingSystem = 0 to the file, made no difference.
Reverting to a saved GSX/AddonManager from 10 days ago makes it work again.
Is there a fix for this remaining problem ??
Other than this problem, the recent fixes seem to be working.
Good work by the team at FSDT so far !!
Best regards, Martin.
