Parking position and names mismatch
« on: August 27, 2022, 10:08:50 am »
Hi guys!

I have a problem with parking positions at LHSimulations - LHBP Budapest scenery (marketplace bought).
So generally the parking positions are correct inside MSFS, when I select one and load the flight it puts me on the right place, but GSX doesn't recognise that, it has a completly different generated, different numbered and positioned gates.

For example:
After load up flight: https://i.ibb.co/5MNX76V/K-perny-felv-tel-112.png
"Same" gate with GSX: https://i.ibb.co/xJ1FL1N/K-perny-felv-tel-111.png

What could be the problem here, can I fix it by myself or its a bug thats gonna be fixed?

Thank you!  :)

So I figured out, that the problem is with the default LHBP scenery, somehow GSX sees the default airport layout, not the addon.

That's not a bug, of course, but a consequence GSX can't read the airport file, because it's encrypted, as explained on the GSX Product page:

While GSX works automatically with every airport, it needs to read the airport .BGL file, which means, by default, airports bought on the MS Marketplace won't work well, because GSX would use data from the default airport, since it can't read the add-on scenery because of the Marketplace DRM encryption. This is not an issue for FSDT airports, becaue we'll install a DRM-free version of the airport file automatically for all our sceneries but, for 3rd party sceneries, you might need to ask the original developers if they would be willing to make available a file with at least the basic airport data, which can be used by GSX when placed in the GSX profiles folder.

This will be solved in the near future, because MS has provided with a new interface for accessing the airport file through Simconnect, without having to read the .BGL itself, it will be released with SU10, we are of course already working on the Beta version to integrate it in GSX, so this limitation will be removed.

Oh okay, thank you for the quick answer, I thought it was the case only with default extra airports, but now its clear.
Thank you again!
