Gaya Simulations LOWW

[AUA9085]

Hey there,

I just tried to make Gaya Sim. LOWW a bit compatible with GSX.
It was working so far fine. Every Gate has its VDGS but some Gates are unfort. listed twice cause GSX cant different between F and C Gates (with same number)

Gates F3 F9 F11 F17 are not known by GSX therefor they cant be selected yet.
The Jetways are also a bit tricky cause it seems like that LOWW cant be read by GSX cause of its type of installation into the community folder.

Whatever, here is the link, you can test it out

NOTE: This version is for the Steam Version. If you are using another version, change the AFCAD path in that file

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for all the work. But people downloading the file should consider to change the position of the "afcad_path" in the file based on their settings. My settings are (MS edition and not STEAM edition) afcad_path = \\?\?\?\Official\OneStore\fs-base-genericairports\scenery\0601\APX52140.bgl.

Don't worry, we already took this into account, quoting from GSX Manual, Page 46:

The name of the .BGL used to customize the scenery is listed in the [GENERAL] section of the GSX .INI profile. It will include the complete path valid for your system but, don’t worry, there’s no need to edit it out before sharing your work, since GSX will only use the .BGL filename, and will ignore the full path altogether, it has been designed like this exactly to facilitate sharing of GSX .INI profiles without worrying about different paths. As long the currently active .BGL matches the name referenced in the .INI file, the .INI will be loaded by GSX, no matter the path.

Hi Bernd,

did you also try to edit "Pushback" for the various gates? I am asking because I had problems at F23 and needed it to customize.

Hey,

nope I did not tried the edited pushback stuff cause it did not work well for me yet.

Cheers

I used your file as a very good base, but still edited it myself for my personal liking.
Stand F5 is my favourite, so I moved the vehicles around and customized pushback there.

But your file is definitely a great improvement to "default" and saves a lot of time.

So: VIELEN DANK, und Servus aus Wien!

Yeah it was done "quick and durty" in 3,5 hours
Its a bit tricky with the editing tool currently

[AUA9085]

I've update the file and uploaded it  to flightsim.to.
Modified all the pushbacks cause they were a bit strange.

Bernd,

You did a great job. I think I can evaluate this because I was also working in parallel on the GSX-configuration for all gates at LOWW. I had to interupt my work for a couple of days and now saw that you already finished the job. For a systematic approach I prepared the attached document which you will find attached. I think it explains the situation regarding the gates C, D and F and what has been possible resp. which gates can be used. If you like you can enclose this as "read.me" in your download configuration file.

I also contacted ORBX (because I bought GAYA Simulations LOWW) from them. They contacted GAYA and received the following answer: "We have decided that our airports work and continuous feature updates are not planned. As far as this issue we are concerned, the software is compiled according to the SDK and work as intended". This means we cannot expect anything from GAYA. Maybe if the new API (to be introduced with SU 10) works as required then all necessary data in future can be read by GSX directly from MSFS and a specific AFCAD no longer is required.

Hey Hanse,

thanks for the PDF.
Yeah I already have seen the post in the Orbx Forum as well (dont know if it was you^^).

It's a bit a shame for them that they do react in that way on the request.
We can just hope if Asobo is removing the encryption stuff that LOWW will work than too. Lets see.

In that case, I can just say it again that I really hope that Umberto will give us a possibility to modify the gates a bit in the tool itself to make them unique if the AFCAD of the scenery cant be read completly or is not available.


Cheers,
Bernd

I actually managed to get a reply from Gaya via Facebook and they were telling me that they are working on a big update for Vienna but they could not give me an exact ETA when it will come out. They also told me that this Update should make it GSX Compatible but the did not get in to further details.

Oh, nice. I hope it wont take too long

[AUA9085]

Umberto, what have you done o.O
Its reading the Gates accordingly now without any change on the scenery :O

Or had Asobo corrected the Parking position with the last update.
