GSX cannot access file.
« on: July 25, 2018, 11:51:47 pm »
Hello,
I just did a fix to UK2000 Gatwick on the AFCAD file, I changed it from the UK2xGEN to the TRM. (static to Ai)
When trying to opening the GSX menu, it says in the top bar that GSX cannot access the GEN file. I have tried to reinstall GSX, but there wasn't any change.
It only happens at Gatwick because of changing the file for the gates and stands which were missing.

Thanks,
Oskar.

Due to the way GSX detects scenery changes, it cannot detect a file rename or removal, otherwise it would have to scan each and every file at each start, making it very slow but, instead, it only checks the folder last modification date, and this doesn't change after a rename/removed from a folder, which means, if a scenery file has been renamed/removed, you MUST select the "Restart and rebuild the airport cache" option from the Couatl menu after the renaming took place.
