New handler typo with the update [CLOSED]
« on: April 26, 2023, 12:36:17 am »
"- GSX (all versions) Change: Added the following handling operators: Fenix Logistix, Unifi (USA), Tallin Airport GH (EETN), Iberia in White over Red livery."

"Tallin Airport GH" should be "Tallinn Airport GH".

Tallinn is with 2 "n" letters.

Regardless, thank you for this update.

The operator name is spelled correctly in the actual update, it's just a typo in the release notes, but it will fixed anyway.

I don't fully agree on that.
In the drop down menu where you select the ground handler for your airport in airport customization, it is also labeled "TALLIN"
However the textures on the other hand are correct.
So the typo exists in the dropdown menu only.

Yes, you are right, the dropdown is wrong as well.

I'm afraid this can't be fixed easily, because it would require changing all texture names and all their fallbacks, which is possible, but would cause lots of unnecessary downloads for everybody, and it somebody already made a profile with that operator, it won't work anymore if we renamed it.

(TLDR version below)
Fair enough.
But may I suggest it be fixed whenever a new update is planned. True, a new update only containing this fix is not reasonable.
But with whatever other new update, this could be included.
As for the profiles, well a small setback to them. They can just redo it with the next one.
I have done customization even and I don't mind doing it again.


TLDR version: just publish the fix with among other updates, there is no hurry.

And that's precisely the reason why it can't be fixed easily: the more we wait, the more profiles made with the old name will came out, causing problems to users that would be difficult to understand.

The most we can do, is to prevent the operator name to be misspelled when it's referred to in the GSX menu (not the dropdown menu), but I'm afraid the texture folders will have to stay the same.
