Can't read the aircraft type
« on: January 14, 2025, 01:46:42 am »
Whats up everyone, so I am in the bravoairspace 787-8 and everytime i load up GSX it says Can't Find the Aircraft Type, I have the right airframe set into simbrief and also have a GSX profile installed for the aircraft but its just not having it. Anyone know a fix for this? I just recently updated the aircraft through the marketplace so not sure if that has something to do with it or if I have to run the live update again on GSX. Thanks for the help

Most common cause is the airplane lacking the icao_type_designator in the aircraft.cfg, which should always be present in every proper MSFS 2020 airplane.

Just open the aircraft.cfg of the aircraft in question and add it in.

The aircraft.cfg of the aircraft itself, not the gsx.cfg profile of the aircraft.
