After update to V2, gsx reading default afcad only how to fix it?
-
It's impossible to help you with such a generic description of your problem. GSX surely reads the correct AFCAD and it respects both the layer priority in the scenery.cfg and the one in the add-on.xml files.
You haven't even said which simulator you use, so I cannot even tell if the add-on.xml file is relevant.
So, please, describe your issue more accurately, like which scenery you use, how they are layered, which simulator you use, etc.

I'm using P3D V4.1 and this problem show in some sceneries FSBM KSFO HD, Flytampa CYYZ, FSBM KIAD
-
In customization parking position menu gsx loading afcad from APX#### file
-
Try the Restart and rebuild cache option in the Couatl settings menu.
-
Tried that but still same
-
Enable logging in the Troubleshooting section of the GSX setting page, and the Restart and rebuild cache option in the Couatl settings menu. Then, exit the sim and to to this folder:
%APPDATA%\Virtuali
and post the Couatl.LOG file which should be there. Don't post it as it is. ZIP it and Attach it to a thread.

I sent bglman.log to support email did you check?

You sent it at 11:45 PM. I do sometimes (not very often) sleep...I'll check it today, when I'll have time after replying to other users too.

Thanks and sorry about that
-
Hello, still checking??
-
Yes, we understand the issue, but it's not an easy fix. It caused by your username not using the western alphabet, so the program cannot read the whole scenery library.
We'll put this in the to-do list.
-
Many thanks for you, is that will be update at new version?
-
I have the same issue with the default AFCAD being read instead of the one associated with the addon scenery. I'm using P3d v4.3. The simulator and AI traffic respond to the proper AFCAD.

Before you say you have the "same" issue, is your user name in Windows using non-Western alphabet (Russian, Chinese, Japanese, etc.). If not, then you don't have the same issue discussed here so, it's best if you post it in a new thread.

Hello Umberto,
When will you fix this error? i can't fly because of this problem :'(

We don't know when it will be fixed. It's not easy for us testing a non-Western Windows installation. You might try creating a new user account using only western characters for the name, but you'll have to reinstall the simulator there.

Everything is fine before update to GSX V2, why GSX V2 have this problem? At v1 GSX reading correct afcad.. and i have couatl problem also :'(

Because we changed the way we read the scenery library because, with the previous method, it wasn't possible to know the layer of scenery files added with the add-on.xml method so, if you used something like the Lorby Addon Organizer to rearrange them, GSX would know their layers, so it could "read the wrong AFCAD". But this method read the scenery_addons.XML file created by the simulator and, it's much easier to detect and support Unicode when reading an .XML file. Unfortunately, this file doesn't include the scenery layer.
So, in order to FIX the chance of reading the wrong AFCAD, we had to read the add-ons.cfg file instead and, since this is not an XML, its encoding is not certain, some utilities change it, some users change it, and it's apparently affected by your user name.
So, it's not a GSX "bug", it's a result of trying to make it MORE reliable in reading the correct scenery because, in the previous version, if you (or an utility) changed the layer of sceneries installed with the add-on.xml method, it was very likely to end up reading the wrong AFCAD. Since there are not that many users using a non-Western alphabet in their user name, this hasn't come up until you reported it.
As I've said, we'll have a look at this and, in the meantime, you might be able to fix it by changing the user name.
and i have couatl problem also :'(
What "problem" ?
-
This error
I tried exclude addon manager folder in AV program then reinstall GSX but still have problem

Why you installed GSX inside the simulator ? The installer doesn't suggest that folder and, in fact, installing inside the simulator is probably the worse possible choice.
Uninstall everything, reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager", and reinstall using either the suggested folder, or another drive, but NOT inside the simulator.
-
Tried install in another folder (not in sim folder) but still showing problem

But it worked before (just not reading the correct AFCAD ) ?

When i restart couatl or restart couatl and airport cache rebuild i show that error
-
Could you please try running the FSDT Live Update now ? We posted an Addon Manager update which should hopefully fix your problem, which was caused by your username being Unicode.
-
I ran the live update which error fixed? Couatl error or afcad?
