Title: CS 757-200F GSX
Post by: macbrowndog on December 23, 2019, 07:51:40 am

Hi Guys,

I have just installed the CS 757-200F V1.5 and GSX is not recgonising the aircraft... I have the latest version of GSX 2

Any suggestions.... ?

Thanks
Andrew

That airplane is included in the GSX internal data but, only if its own folder is named as such:

CS_B757-200F

Could be Captain Sim released a different variant in a new folder and/or changed the name of the existing one ? The airplane customization page in GSX will tell you how the airplane is recognized.

Here is a screen shot of the GSX config

Your screenshot confirmed my last post: CS released a new variant in a new folder, so GSX won't recognize the airplane, so it must configured from scratch.

Hopefully this will assist in updating GSX2

Thanks

Hopefully this will assist in updating GSX2

We surely won't add all those variants, because we would have to check if they are really compatible or not, measure-wise.

As a general rule, if two airplanes have the same dimensions, adding a separate folder variant is not required, because an extra [flightsim] section in the aircraft.cfg would obtain the same result, and GSX will see all of them as a single airplane.

You might do it yourself, this way:

- Load a variant that IS recognized by GSX, for example the CS_B757-200F

- Open the airplane configuration page and change something very minor, like moving any point by 1 cm or less. This will create a GSX.CFG in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali\Airplanes\CS_B757-200F folder

- COPY that folder to a new one, to create a new folder for a different variant, for example:

%APPDATA%\Virtuali\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB535E4

- Load that variant, and verify GSX has recognized it. If it hasn't, you made something wrong with the previous copy operation.

- With the new profile loaded, check the config and make any changes, if required.
