GSX ini afcad_path question
« on: June 06, 2017, 06:07:47 am »
The gsx ini files have afcad_path I would like to know if this path works just like if you had installed to the main flight simulator directory.
Example KLAS the afcad_path is

afcad_path = FsDreamTeam\KLAS\Scenery\AP_KLAS2.BGL

But my p3dv4 scenery is installed into d:\addon manager not d:\p3dv4
Will the path still work?

Thanks!

Of course it will, and you can get confirmation for this, by checking the airport customization dialog, which will tell you what .INI is being used.

The path there is entirely irrelevant. We left it, just as a remark for you of *where* the AFCAD was, when you originally created your customization, but the program doesn't use it, only the file name matters, so the customization will work regardless where the scenery is installed, as long the AFCAD name matches.

In fact, I believe this is explained at Page 32 of the GSX manual, in the notes for scenery developers.
