GSX using FTX EU AFCAD instead of UK2000 EGSS **SOLVED**
« on: January 01, 2018, 07:01:41 pm »
Hello,

I installed the EGSS UK2000 scenery on P3Dv4. GSX is using the bgl file provided by FTX EU. I changed the name of this file from .BGL to .OFF. However, I received an error message stating that the file couldn't be found. Is there any way of forcing GSX to read the UK2000 AFCAD file?

Thanks

Since GSX checks the scenery folder last changed date in order to not have to check each and every file (slowing down the startup), due to the fact that Windows doesn't doesn't change that date when renaming a file, you must use the "Restart and rebuild airport cache" from the Couatl settings menu, in order to let it detect file renames.
