Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_Staircase
« on: January 22, 2023, 06:53:33 pm »
Manual, page 33:

"To find all the exact codes available in GSX, look at the SIM.CFG file for any ground handling vehicles,
such as the Staircase, located under the Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_Staircase
folder and check the couatl.atc_parking_codes line"

However, Simobjects\Misc\FSDT_Staircase folder does not exist.  Where is the couatl.atc_parking_codes file actually located?

That info has been made obsolete by the PBR update, where GSX objects has been split into 4 groups:

"Simobjects\Legacy" = objects that only FSX and P3D up to 3 use which has been replaced by new PBR versions in P3D4 and P3D5 in some cases.

"Simobjects\PBR" = objects that only P3D4/5 will use

"Simobjects\PBR5" = objects specific to P3D5

"Simobjects\Misc" = objects that are shared by all simulators

This means, the Staircase with all the codes is now found in Simobjects\Legacy in FSX and Simobjects\PBR5 in P3D V5. P3D V4 is an exception, because it generates textures on the fly, so there will be no multi-liveries there.

Another place where you can find the operator codes is this file:

\Addon Manager\Texture\rules_handling.cfg

The codes are the section names between square brackets. This info is shared by all simulators, even if it's used a bit differently on each one.
