I guess he means if there are double gates like A12 F12.
Thats currently really annoying to edit them:(

Is there any ETA for a solutions eg. Manually rename gates?

You mean parking spots with multiple alternate parking positions ? GSX never supported this feature, we need to look into that.

If, instead, it's just "double gates" on the map, it's only because the 3rd party airport hasn't been disabled in the GSX Config panel.

No, i mean of the AFCAD cant be read and there are multiple gates with the same number like in vienna F22 and D22y
FSX recongize both But Not with the F it D stuff, its showing both positions in the list.

You really need to make an effort to explain better. The AFCAD can't be read, why ? It is a Marketplace airport perhaps ?

Yeah, its Gayasims vienna sold By orbx. The version is like a Market place Version. This has been discussed in another topic too.

It would be nice if gsx would offer some workaround to have those Airports modifed as well Even of the dev of the Airport wont Update it

What do you mean with "is like a Market place Version", is the scenery encrypted in some way ?  If yes, there's no way GSX or any other utility would be able to read it. Or, is the AFCAD non-standard, or corrupted in some way ?

GSX already has a workaround for Marketplace / encrypted airports, and is to place a DRM-free version of the airport file in the GSX profiles folder, but this requires SOME support from the original developer. If this is the problem, which I still not sure if is.

Do you have a log showing if the airport has been rejected for any reason ?

Here is the log file.
I also add the Couatl.err log, whatever it is but a lot of LOWW entries are there.

Here are 2 screenshots probably you better understand what I mean after looking at this.
We have C36 and F36 and I have 2 Gate 36 entries.

My Idea was if its possible, to add the D or F to the Gates to seperate them if GSx is not able to read it from the scenery file. To make a "manual" registration for those gates or create new gates manually which are also not found.

Your .err file was earlier, and showed an error which I cannot diagnose, because logging was disabled, so it would be useful if it happens again you could post it again now that you enabled logging.

Your log file show no errors, other than GSX is using the default airport. If you could make another one after removing the airport cache:

%PROGRAMDATA%\Virtuali

It might tell during the regeneration why the Gaya LOWW hasn't been used.

The err file hasnt changed, here is the full log with cache creation data.

Just found that: http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,27043.msg176965.html#msg176965
I hope this will solve the issue with LOWW too. Anyway it would be cool if we can rename/sort the parkingstands on our own :D

I think this might be the problem:

Warning: airport LOWW described in multiple BGL files without proper DeleteAirport record

This happens because GSX assumes the add-on airport is only a partial "enhancement" of the default one, not a complete airport, so it will always use the default in these cases. This might be possibly caused by this area:

Folder E:\MSFS\Community\bernd-bernd-loww-exclude processed in 0 seconds

What's is used for ?

This is created by me to remove the static aircrafts.
Should I try to delete it and regenerate the caches?

Yes, try that first.

Still loading the default afcad :(
BTW: I do really appreciate your huge amount of time you spend in giving us support, even on sundays!!! Thanks for that!

The same error is still there:

Warning: airport LOWW described in multiple BGL files without proper DeleteAirport record

But now you removed your airport, it seems the scenery itself from Gaya is the problem. Could be it is *really* made that way, to just enhance the default airport, instead of including its own custom parking, taxiways from the default one ?
Title: Re: GSX editing mode and 3d party airports
Post by: AUA9085 on August 28, 2022, 04:24:54 pm
No idea, there is no reaction on any mail from Gayasimulation itself :( therefore I am searching for another solution to get the gates proper sorted in Vienna :(

Any chance that you on GSX program site can do something about such specific issues?
Title: Re: GSX editing mode and 3d party airports
Post by: wined on August 29, 2022, 12:53:44 pm
Yeah,

LOWW by Gaya is really a troubeling scenery...

Even though not purchased through marketplace the scenery seems to be sort of encrypted or built in an "unusal"way.

I am pretty sure, it is not GSX fault as at the same time at this airport departing traffic is never taking off as obviously the AFCAD is not defining taxiways and Holding points accurately.
ANyway, thats a different story.

I attached a screenshot of the only Folder that is holding BGL files.
ANd it looks significantly different to what other 3rd party Airports look like, that work perfectly well with GGSX.

Almost as if Gaya included everything to a single BGL making it too big for GSX to process.

Unfortunately, Gaya is not giving any support at all since they moved on to be content creator for MS.
Looks like they lost interest in customers. THe forum was closed, and when reaching out for support via the form they provide, you never get a reply.

If you cant come up with a solution I guess we have to pray for FlyTampa to bring their excellent LOWW from P3D to MSFS....

Please clarify better.

Apology when using native GSX jetways and a gate has for example two bridges and jetways we can edit those. But when using the native bridges and jetways I would prefer to use both and edit the pax paths for both bridges and jetways :-)
