Title: ParkMe not recognizing the PMDG 737NGX
Post by: Jonmarshall on August 18, 2011, 04:32:14 pm

As the title says, is there a way to make it work with easy editing or with a a small patch? I would like not editing my aircraft.cfg to mess up the livery manager.

Thx in advance
Jon

Strange it wouldn't recognize it. What is the exact name of the airplane in the aircraft.cfg ? Look fo the "Title" parameter.

Titles changes with any configuration of the airliner.

For exemple, for the PMDG 737-800 house colors, it is: Boeing 737-800NGX PMDG House
for the -800 Winglets Westjet it is: Boeing 737-8CTNGX WestJet (Care-antee) Winglets
for the -900 Winglets Alaska Airlines it is: Boeing 737-990NGX Alaska Airlines Winglets

I know they pushed a little for the title and that your ParkMe feature recognise the title of the aircraft, it might be wise to program Parkme to recognize the airplane with the minimum needed, for the boeing it would not only be ''B737'' but also 737 or 737-8xx, 737-9xx ?

I have the same problem in LSZH 2.0. How to fix it?

MY DATA

I guess it should be fixed by editing the name to read B737 instead of just 737

I have this issue too.  Did anyone try the suggestion to make it B737-800, and did it work?  Thanks.

I have the PMDG 737NGX not recoggnised by Parkme too.

Editing the aircraft.cfg file as bellow works for me (for PMDG 800WL default livery).

Code: [Select]

[fltsim.0]
title=B737-800               //PMDG 737-800NGX PMDG House Winglets
sim=B737-800WL

This means that we have to modify title for all liveries [fltsim.xx]  :(
As noticed by Jon, chaning the name may cause issues with PMDG livery manager.

Using the title field value is probably not the best option to identify the aircraft type.
Would it be possible that ParkMe uses the sim field instead which equals B737-800 ?
Or if ParkMe can only get the "Title" value, finding the string "737-8" in the title should be enough to identify the aircraft model.

Kind regards,
Romain.
