Sim Update 12 and GSX - BIG Improvements

<< < (4/8) > >>

@Umberto:

Let me rephrase.

I do not use Microsoft/Asobo airports
I do not buy 3rd party airports on Marketplace.
I only use 3rd party Airports bought from the developers and/or resellers. Hence, they are not encrypted.

Q1: Does enabling the SU12 Navdata option have any advantages for me?
Q2: Does enabling the SU12 Navdata option have any disadvantages for me?

If A1 = yes -> which?
if A2 = yes -> which?

If A1 = no and/or A2 = yes -> how can I disable the SU12 Navdata option?

We are inside a thread that started with a video that explained all of this. Have you seen the video ? If yes, what's not so unclear about the BIG improvement the SU12 Navdata offers with ANY airport that has JETWAYS ?

The Marketplace encryption issue was solved with the SU10 API so yes, if you never bought a Marketplace airport, you have the Standard MSFS ( that doesn't come with any encrypted airports ), maybe the SU10 Navdata option wasn't that useful, apart from the benefits of not having to deal with the airport cache, its regenerations, and any related issues of having to read files in the Community folder.

But SU12 is completely different, because ( as the video clearly explains ), the new data we are getting about Jetways, we never had it before, neither with the Navdata, nor with the .BGL so yes, SU12 Navadata dramatically improves how GSX works with ANY airport with Jetways, completely unrelated to the Marketplace.

That's the same of my screenshot.

I'd start with that.

HeicoH:
Let me see if I got it correctly:

With SU12 Navdata API GSX can now get correct information about the jetways (and maybe taxiways, etc.?) without any workaround.

Does that mean we do not need any GSX airport profiles anymore?

That should have been clear, had you followed the video that opened this thread. And no, we always got correct information about everything else (taxiway, runways, parking spots), SU12 is basically Jetways, at least as far GSX is concerned. Please look the video, it explains everything.

Why you think a GSX profile could possibly have anything to do with Jetways ? 

The only thing which might have improved how jetway worked before, was the custom jetway floor height, to specify the height of the jetway at its root, and we still need a profile for THIS specific information, since not even SU12 provide it, because it's not something even the simulator itself has. That would only improve passengers walking at the correct height, in case it's different than the default ( both default and GSX jetways have a floor at 4.6 mt from ground, the manual obviously explains that too ).

Other than that, a profile could only be used to improve the vehicle positions, doing custom pushbacks, adding docking systems, adding custom remote deicing areas. Nothing that would change how the jetway worked, other than the aforementioned root floor height.
