VDGS not working with some aircraft livery
« on: September 23, 2022, 05:45:35 pm »
I know it's not a GSX problem but was hoping someone could maybe shed some light on why.

EGLL inibuilds (not from market place)
Kenco's excellent EGLL GSX Profile from flightsism.to

Aircraft
PMDG 737-800 - VGDS Working
FBW A32NX (Experimental) base Livery (VGDS Working)
FBW A32NX (Experimental) EASYJET Livery (VGDS Working)
FBW A32NX (Experimental) JET2 Livery (VGDS Working)
FBW A32NX (Experimental) BAW Livery (VGDS NOT Working)

When I say not working as I approach the gate it shows Airport ICAO code and gate number but that's it, with all the other livery's I get the full direction and distance readings.

I think I've traced it to the name used either in the manifiest.json file or the aircraft.cfg within the livery but was hoping someone may know exactly why.
manifiest.json
"title": "British Airways A32NX" Doesn't work
"title": "British Airways A320"    Works

aircraft.cfg
title = "Airbus A32NX British Airways" ; Variation name   Doesn't work
title = "Airbus A320 British Airways" ; Variation name     Works

Obviously there needs to be some uniformity in the way that host aircraft is labelled within the livery but what is the correct way?

Could you please post a link to the non-working livery ? Also, experimental means that livery works only with the Experimental version of the FBW A320 ?

Hi Umberto, sorry.... the experimental refers to the version of the FBWa320. they have a Basic a Development and an Experimental aircraft

Neither of these Livery's work
https://flightsim.to/file/11998/british-airways-a32nx (I managed to get this one working by changing the name is the manifest.json and the aircraft.cfg as per my OP)
https://flightsim.to/file/269/british-airways-livery-ultra

These work fine
