GSX and Afcad's
« on: February 01, 2012, 10:23:50 am »
Hi.

Thanks for a great addon. :)

One question regards Afcad's, do GSX look for a specific name in afcad filename, such as af2_XXXX or ap_XXXX?

(Do we have to rename afcad file to some specific name to get GSX to work on freeware scenery etc. etc.)

It works with any AFCAD regardless of the name, and it choose which one to use at a specific airport, using the same rules as FSX: the one with the highest priority on the Scenery Library will be used.

Of course, dummy/partial AFCADs, like those containing just the altitude, or just navaids or approaches, do not count so it's more like  "the highest AFCAD with taxipaths+parkings" rather than just the highest AFCAD.

The name only matters if there's a customization we made (like with all our sceneries). If the name it's changed, GSX will still work based on the other/renamed AFCAD, but will miss the customization.
