FSL-A320/P3Dv4.2 - suddenly generic ULDs loading
« on: February 27, 2018, 01:22:08 am »
I'm using the "atc_parking_codes=XXX" parameter to set the ULD logos per livery. Since i updated both, P3Dv4.2 and FSL A320 i only get JETTAINER ULDs altough the aircraft.cfg has a respective entry. See below for an example

The PMDG 747 works just fine, correct logos are shown

Any idea whats causing this?

Jettainer ? That livery is not even included in GSX (although this might be a useful addition).  Are you sure you are looking at the GSX ULDs and not something, for example, provided by the airplane or by a 3rd party product or utility ?

100% certain, yes :) FSL A320 doesnt have any ground handling vehicles and apart from GSX i dont use any 3rd party tool providing this functionality. I'll take a screenshot tonight and try to find out where its getting the texture from.

sorry my bad, its actually JET AVIATION and not JETTAINER :) But yeah, would be a nice feature for the next update ;)

But still, it seems to ignore the atc_parking_codes=XXX parameter since FSL A320 has been updated. And the aircraft.cfg looks absolutely fine to me.

Any ideas?

It looks fine. Are you sure you are using *that* livery in the sim ? In this thread, you posted it worked:

And surely GSX hasn't changed since then.

Yes, i tried several liveries that were working fine before i updated to P3Dv4.2 and FSL A320 v2.0.1.231. All of them now show Jet Aviation ULDs

The thread you linked is from P3Dv4.1 times, when it was working for me.

It still works fine with the PMDG 747 so it must be something with GSX and FSL A320. I also ran the live updater to refresh the GSX files, but no luck

Are there any logs that would help to pinpoint the issue, i.e. indicating on what criteria GSX bases its choice to use Jet Aviation? Am i assuming correctly that GSX will use the generic Jet Aviation texture if it cant find a respective texture for the currently loaded livery?

Have you tried with another airplane, on the same exact airport and parking spot ?

same airport but not the same parking spot (the 747 didn't fit in)

I'll try tonight and let you know

ok here's my result: same airport, same gate, same atc_parking_codes=xxx entry in aircraft.cfg.

PMDG747 gets Lufthansa ULDs, FSLabsA320 gets Jet Aviation ULDs....

This is very odd.

The only possible reason I can think of, is there's some syntax error in the FS Labs .CFG file, so the whole file is rejected by the parser, which use a standard library to parse .INI files ( AIRCRAFT.CFG  files are just .INI files with a different extension ).

Could you please ZIP the FS Labs AIRCRAFT.CFG file and Attach it to a post, so I can have a look at it ?

Hi Umberto

Did you find anything amiss with the CFG file?

Bump!

Any news?

Funnily enough, i tried it again after the most recent FSL A320 update, it worked once (AFR ULDs with Airfrance livery), and now i'm left again with Jet Aviation ULDs although i didnt change anything between the tries.
