After installing the latest update (1.03) for Aerosoft Oslo v2 GSX no longer works but gives an error message saying there are no parkings available.
I found the problem but I'm not sure how to fix it. Looking at the screenshot below you can see that GSX uses the wrong BGL. I'm not 100% because there are lots of BGL found in that folder but I think the correct BGL would be ENGM_AFX.bgl
Is there any way for me to manually change what BGL GSX will use for a certain airport or is some fix/update required either from you or Aerosoft?

Try to use the function to disable a specific airport, ENG1 in this case, the disable_on_airports parameter explained at Page 19 of the GSX manual.
If that doesn't work, you might try moving the real AFCAD file into a separate folder ( doesn't Aerosoft use a separate folder with all their AFCADs ? That could be a good location ), and be sure you give it an higher priority on the Scenery Library.
-
Tried both your suggestions but unfortunately none of them worked.
When I tried disabling ENG1 via coutladdons.ini as described in the GSX doc I received a message GSX has been disabled for the airport and when I tried moving the correct BGL (or at least what I guess is the correct BGL, have to verify this with Aerosoft) into a separate folder and then adding this new folder in FSX scenery library above the original entry for this addon airport I was back receiving the error that no parkings were available at this airport.
To answer your question where Aerosoft store their afcads I think normally they are found under ...FSX\aerosoft\name of airport\Scenery. Below is a screenshot showing the Scenery folder for Oslo v2

You should also exit from FSX, restart it, and let GSX update the scenery cache.

I'm fairly sure they also use a separate folder for all their AFCADs from different products, I think it's Aerosoft\AFD or something like that.
-
Just did another test to make sure I did everything exactly as you suggested but still same thing I'm afraid...receiving the message no parking are available as soon as I press the hotkey for GSX.
You're correct regarding the AFD folder but it didn't hold anything related to ENGM.

If you move the .BGL to a separate folder on an higher layer, you can't also use the disable_on_airports method.
-
I haven't been using the two different methods at the same time.

I haven't been using the two different methods at the same time.
Then it will work with the method of moving the .BGL on higher layer, and be sure you restart FSX and let GSX update its cache. To force a cache update, remove the following folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryIndexes
C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl
You are not new having problems with updating the Scenery Library:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,9807.msg77209.html#msg77209
It's possible this AFCAD has an error, but it also possible ANOTHER AFCAD has an error, which doesn't allow the cache rebuild to be completed.
Also, what the GSX scenery editor is saying now about the AFCAD being in use ?
And of course, you can also check your Couatl.LOG file, as I've explained in the other message from you, perhaps there's some diagnostic about this.
-
None of the two methods you've mentioned have worked and I already cleared the airport DB cache by deleting the files you mention.
A temporary fix was presented over in Aerosoft's support forum, to remove the flatten BGL incorrectly used by GSX. Will have to wait for a comment from the developer though how removing this file will affect the scenery since that file obviously is there for a reason.
-
Aerosoft released a new Alpha_Flatten.bgl file and with the new file GSX works just fine again :)
The fix can be found here ->

I still don't consider the thing to be properly solved. As I've said, moving the normal AFCAD on a separate layer with an higher priority SHOULD have fixed it, because GSX will use the AFCAD with the highest priority.
That's why I've asked if, after moving the AFCAD to a separate folder, the GSX scenery editor still reported the wrong one, and why I've asked to have a look at your Couatl.LOG file, perhaps there was something else.
-
Well, I'm good with having the problem solved but if I find the time for it I'll do another test with the old file and let you know the result.
When it comes to this specific issue something was clearly wrong and not only at my end because other people noticed the same problem. However I might have some other issues because I've noticed the GSX airport cache doesn't update itself anymore after changes done to the scenery library. Now I have to always manually delete the cache files to force an update.
Do you have any tips on how I could troubleshoot that type of issue, you said something about I might have a bad/corrupted afcad but how could I find that? All my addon airports do work fine though, wouldn't I also see other problems with an airport with a corrupt afcad file?
-

That was just an hypothesis and, as I've said, the Couatl.LOG file might have some hints about this.
-
Haven't had the time to do any more testing with Oslo yet but this is what my Couatl.log file looks like and as you can see it seems there is a problem with a UK2000 scenery BGL (egbb_afx_UK2xTRM.BGL) but I've verified the file does exist and the scenery works just fine so not sure why the log reports the file as missing?

So I now performed another test and this is what I did step by step
- deleted Couatl.log and Couatl.err from %appdata%\Virtuali to make sure I would have fresh log files
- manually deleted GSX airport cache
- uninstalled the Oslo scenery and then started FSX to let it update the scenery library
- installed the Oslo scenery and again started FSX to let it update the scenery library
- started FSX at gate 42 at Oslo and then tried starting GSX and got the same error about no parkings available
- exited FSX and moved the correct afcad file to it's own folder and included this folder in the scenery library above the original Oslo 2
- again manually deleted GSX airport cache (since GSX for some reason no longer updates the airport cache automatically)
- started FSX and GSX and same error again about no parkings available
- checked what BGL GSX was using and noticed the same (Alpha_Flatten.bgl) file was still in use
- went to check the log files under %appdata%\Virtuali but to my surprise no new log files had been created
- removed the new folder from the scenery library
- copied the correct afcad back to it's original location under ...FSX\aerosoft\Mega Airport Oslo 2.0\Scenery
- replaced the original Alpha_Flatten.bgl with the fixed one provided by the developer of the Oslo scenery
- started FSX and then GSX and all was fine
Still no log files found though for GSX under %appdata%\Virtuali and still GSX won't rebuild it's airport cache automatically.

- went to check the log files under %appdata%\Virtuali but to my surprise no new log files had been created
Maybe you also removed that folder, which contains the GSX preferences and by default, GSX doesn't create a Log file, you will have to go again in the GSX Settings and be sure Logging is enabled.
-
No, I didn't remove the folder or any other config files but you were still correct logging was not enabled anymore and I guess this happened when I reinstalled GSX a while ago.
So I now did the test once again and below is the log file. Doesn't really say much about the Alpha_Flatten.bgl file as you can see but on the other hand I don't find this an issue anymore since a fix has been made available from Aerosoft.
Another thing I noticed in the log is the entry that says
Airport cache regeneration completed with success in 1 seconds
That's great news so it looks like I was wrong that the automatic airport cache doesn't work, only that it happened so fast so I never noticed it in FSX. What I've been looking for is the message in FSX saying the airport cache is re-generated but if it only takes 1 second maybe that message doesn't even appear or I simply missed it.
Anyways, here's the log which also shows GSX seems to have some trouble updating the airport cache for the Mallorca X scenery. However I guess all is still good considering the airport cache regeneration success message mentioned above which appear after the warnings for the Mallorca X scenery.

That's great news so it looks like I was wrong that the automatic airport cache doesn't work, only that it happened so fast so I never noticed it in FSX. What I've been looking for is the message in FSX saying the airport cache is re-generated but if it only takes 1 second maybe that message doesn't even appear or I simply missed it.
That's normal, if the update time is so short, GSX won't even generate the progress text.
Anyways, here's the log which also shows GSX seems to have some trouble updating the airport cache for the Mallorca X scenery
That error in the log looks like an out of memory error or a disk space exhausted error. Are you short on space on any of your drives (check the C:\ drive too) ?
If no, and you are sure there's enough space available, it might simply mean that AFCAD is corrupted, and its tricking GSX into allocating memory that it shouldn't, because it has a bad pointer inside, so the OS replies with that error code.
-
Ok, great to know about the short cache update time. So I guess that means the automatic update has been working just fine all the time only I didn't realize that because the update was so quick.
I'm positive I have enough diskspace left on all my drives so must be a corrupt afcad like you suggest or something else that triggers this error message. The scenery itself works just fine though and so does GSX at this airport (LEPA) despite the error messages in the log.
Did spot another GSX issue though at LEPA but I guess that is a DX10 issue, the baggage loaders and the bags were all black as seen here
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/94801887/GSX%20black%20bags%20and%20baggage%20loaders%20using%20DX10%20at%20LEPA.JPG (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/94801887/GSX%20black%20bags%20and%20baggage%20loaders%20using%20DX10%20at%20LEPA.JPG)
However when I'm at Oslo for example everything looks normal as seen in this next screenshot so I guess the baggage loader models and the bags are different depending on what company provides the service.

GSX is 100% DX10 compatible, a black vehicles usually means a missing texture for an operator. I've tried at default LEPA, the operator was Iberia, and the baggage loaders and bags are fine. Try to update just the vehicles (download one of the vehicles installers), to be sure you have the latest version of all the liveries.
-
Thanks, I'll try that.
-
Had another look and found out that Iberia works just fine as you say, the problem is when handling is provided by Air Europa.
Did some searching for vehicles installers as you suggested but found it a bit hard to know what exactly to download and what would be the latest version? Would be great if there was a package containing all handlers and the latest versions. Maybe there is such a download only I missed it?
Or...is there any way I could simply disable Air Europa?
-

Air Europa works fine here, as you can see in my screenshot so, if you don't have it, it means you haven't installed the latest vehicles.

As you can see, the vehicles installers download links have a release date. They contain everything released after that date so, unless you GSX full installer dates earlier than a specific date, you can download the smallest installer and it contains everything. If your GSX full installer is older, you should download/install the next larger (older) vehicle installer, which also contains everything from its own date up to today.
Since Air Europa has been added very recently, the smallest ( the 3rd update ) one surely contains it.
-
Many thanks Umberto!
Was looking for the vehicles update installers here on the forum and didn't realize they were to be found on the GSX product page. Just downloaded and installed the Feb 2012 package just to be on the safe side and now Air Europa works just fine :)
One question though for the future - I thought all updates for GSX were automatically installed when you're accepting the updates offered inside FSX where you every now and then are prompted there's an update available? Or do I need to keep downloading and installing these vehicles updates manually the way I did now?
-

Only the GSX program *code* is updated automatically, but not vehicles and their liveries, because they can be hundreds of new files and folders, which are very inefficient to be downloaded "live", and are better suited to be released in a compressed installer.
-
Ok, good to know.
Thanks!
