Title: Exporting custom GSX airport config
Post by: NZ255 on November 12, 2016, 01:20:59 pm

Hi there,

I read in the manual that you can include the gsx file with addon scenery so customers can have the correct options for the airport.

My question is what do you do about the [general] afcad_path=?
It shows a location in my scenery dev folder... what if a user installs my scenery somewhere else?

Cheers,

Nick

Hey Nick,

Here's an example:

[general]
afcad_path = ORBX\FTX_AU\FTXAA_YMML\scenery\ORBX_YMML_APX.bgl

or


[general]
afcad_path = FlyTampa\Sydney\scenery\FlyTampa_YSSY_APX_Update.bgl

Just make sure the folders (Orbx, FlyTampa etc) are in the main P3D/FSX folder

It doesn't matter: GSX won't care about the path, and will use only the filename. Quoting from GSX manual, Page 28:

Quote

The AFCAD pathname contained in the .INI file is not mandatory: if no file with that name is found in the full path, any other AFCAD in FSX matching the name only will be used instead, regardless of where it’s actually installed.
