a slightly off topic question .. but possibly explained / solved by the KDFW update.

i have since GSX been unable to successfully tweak parking codes in the new afacd using ADE9X without not only losing FSDT customisations but the bulidings - to show in the addon manager KDFW as active but not installed ??

reinstalling fixes the issue, but i miss my tweaks.

i had successfully tweaked KDFW before GSX and have tweaked my other airports post GSX !!

your notes before i try post this latest update would be welcome.

If you save your AFCAD with a different name, you will lost the GSX customization, and if you have two duplicates AFCAD for the same airport in the same folder, the scenery will not show.

If the Addon Manager says the scenery is active but not installer, it's because you manually removed the wrong file, not the AFCAD.

The Addon Manager needs to check if a file exist to see if the scenery is *really* installed, otherwise even users without KDFW installed would see bogus "trial KDFW" messages when they fly the KDFW area, but the check is NOT made on the AFCAD, since we know it's modified very often so, you must have modified or removed another of the .BGL files, which is why reinstalling it fixed the problem.

In any case, if you modify the AFCAD and save it with a different name, you will lose our customization, but the airport will still work as a default airport.

If you want to customize an AFCAD, save it with the same name. Reinstalling/Updating GSX or the Addon Manager will restore the original AFCAD IF the one in the scenery folder has been modified BUT, a backup named date-time-.BGL.BAK will be created so you will never lose your tweaks, just copy the backup back to the correct name after reinstalling GSX.

Got all my sounds back and did a test at KFLL taxi from cargo to gate ok.    Just did a similar test at KLAS Parking 904 to D33 in CS 767-300.   Got services at 904.   Taxied to D33 parked, engines off.  It tells me no services are available.    Do I need to reinstall all airports and then GSX again?

Thanks

There's no need to reinstall any scenery, since the GSX installer automatically downloads the latest AFCAD for them, just be sure either GSX or the Stand-Alone Addon Manager are the last thing you install. If you need to reinstall any scenery for any reason, run again the GSX installer or the Stand-Alone Addon Manager after installing the scenery.

There's no reason why those gates you tried wouldn't work, I've tried D33 at KLAS and it works just fine.

It's possible you have an AFCAD conflict/duplication, try to use the free FSX Airport scanner to see if you have duplicates at KLAS.

There are no duplicates for KLAS.   Last night I reinstalled GSX and the Stand Alone Manager.
