P3D v4 Isolated Parking Errors with Beta 1.75.6372

[downscc]

When using FSDT GSX and an airport bgl compiled by ADEv1.75 all parking spots are reported as isolated by GSX, which means GSX does not see a taxi path connected to the parking. This problem arises when I simply open the airport from the airport bgl (e.g., Flightbeam KSFO, FSDT KLAS or T2G KSEA) and then unmodified compile it and save as an ADEP4 airport file. Doing the exact same open and compile with ADEv1.70 works fine with GSX. I have compare the XML files for one location (KSEA) compiled by v1.70 and v1.75 and do not see any differences between taxiway parking elements and taxiway links.

I've asked FSDT for a concise description of what causes GSX to think a parking spot is isolated. However, it appears something in ADEv1.75 is different and I cannot find that difference.

The difference is the compiler. 1.70 doesn't support P3D v4. That is you can't select it. So in 1.70 l am sure you are using a compiler for P3D v3 The XML source in each case is the same. However the P3D v4 compiler generates different bgl code for taxi links compared to the earlier compilers. So unless GSX has been updated to recognize this then it is perhaps just ignoring the links and believes the parking spots are orphaned. This is not ADE which can recognize the new bgl code.

That explains it very clearly. Most scenery developers have rushed into v4 by simply updating installers. The scenery files remain compiled v3 or even earlier. Thanks.

There are other differences in the bgl code generated by the v4 compiler including runways and aprons.

Affirmative, I've been reading about those and I've examined the SDK myself. I've left a post in FSDT GSX forum for Umbreto for when he gets back to work.

The current GSX Live Update has fixed this, so it now recognizes the P3D V4 AFCAD variant. Thanks to Jon for the help, so we could fix this quickly.

All is good now. Thanks all.

Hi guys!
Same problem here, but on P3D v4.1
Is there any solution for this issue?
ADE version that i use is 1.75 6421
Thx!

Helllo @Micheal21

Make sure you are using the SDK P3D v4.1 as well...

 

[Armas212236]

Confirm, i am using Prepar3D v4 SDK 4.1.7.22841

Hello, had the same issue but was fixed by updating GSX! I had to install the standalone Addon Installer from FSDT. Now everything works as it should.

@Gerald Krutsch But in other airports it's working fine.
And my version is up to date

I created LRTR v4 using the previous 4.0 SDK. After I installed P3D 4.1 and also GSX again, I had the isolated parking issue. I thought it was a problem with my own ARP and tried default EDDM with the same problem.
I then launched the FSDT Live Updater and it downloaded some files. I no longer had the Isolated Parking issue but unfortunately COUATL would crash all the time. P3D gave the information about updating the standalone Addon Manager which I did.

After updating the Addon Manager, I again clicked the FSDT Live Updater which again downloaded some files. After this update, I no longer have the issues!

In other words I did not recompile my LRTR ARP with the new 4.1 SDK....

Yeah, my bad... Now works ok... The problem was that i saw on their website is written that last update was 31 may 2017, but i purchased gsx sometime later and thought that if my installer is latest version then maybe problem can be other than that... But now i've downloaded again from their site installer installed it and works fine... that means that installer is updated recently not on 31 may...
Thank you!
