I get the "there are no parkings available at this airport" message with this airport, even after adding this config file.  If I try to edit the parkings, it's showing another AFCAD (ZGTS.bgl) which is in the same folder as AFX_LGTS_closed.bgl. 

I tried regenerating both coatl and fsx caches and renaming the config afcad to zgts.bgl to no avail.

Any help is appreciated!

Best,

I get the same now I've switched over to GSX from AES (necessary because I now use FSX-SE instead of FSX-MS).

It is disappointing having see this problem being reported here some time ago and no answer yet.

I am downloading Thessaloniki version 2. Maybe that will fix it?

The problem is caused by two issues:

- The very close proximity of the Sedes Airbase ( LGSD ), which is lower than the default range (3NM) that GSX checks to guess which airport you are located so, depending on where you are located, GSX might have switched to the other AFCAD, because its ARP was closer to your location.

- An unusual way to create an elevated taxiway, by using a separate AFCAD with its own fictional code ( ZGTS ) that contains only a ground polygon (and I guess setting the altitude too)

Both issues can be fixed using the airport_visibility command, explained on the GSX manual at page 21, and also discussed here:

and here:

Since the LGSD Airbase doesn't have any parkings, so it's not usable by GSX anyway, it would best to just disable both of them, adding the following lines to the [GSX] section of the %APPDATA%\VIRTUALI\CouatlAddons.ini file:

airport_visibility_LGSD = 0
airport_visibility_ZGTS = 0

Okay, will do. Thank you!
