Doubled entry in NZPM.xml

[pmb 5,137]

Hi,

I tried to take off from NZPM (Palmerston North / NZ) but PSXseecontraffic (14.0) did not work because of a double entry in NZPM.xml. There is indeed a double entry for r10 as follows

------------------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<meta>
    <info name="author" value="ParkPosGenerator" />
    <info name="version" value="9.5" />
    <info name="date" value="Mon Mar 25" />
</meta>
<parameters>
    <parameter name="ICAO" value="NZPM" />
    <parameter name="IATA" value="PMR" />
    <parameter name="latitude" value="-40.320555" />
    <parameter name="longitude" value="175.616945" />
    <parameter name="airport_name" value="Palmerston North" />
    <parameter name="supplier" value="P3D ORBX" />
    <parameter name="num_real_live_options" value="0" />
    <parameter name="num_real_live_parkpos" value="0" />
    <parameter name="parking_percentage" value="35" />
    <parameter name="last_update" value="" />
</parameters>
....

<parkpos id="r10" latitude="-40.323132" longitude="175.616318" heading="0.0" radius="6.0">
        <aircraft>
            <option airlines="ANZ,EAQ,QFA" types="C172" real="false" />
        </aircraft>
    </parkpos>
    <parkpos id="r10" latitude="-40.324345" longitude="175.619522" heading="286.7" radius="18.0">
        <aircraft>
            <option airlines="CVA,XJE" types="B738,A320" real="false" />
        </aircraft>
    </parkpos>
------------------------------------------

After deleting one of the entries, PSXSeecontraffic did work. As the header states, the xml file was created using ParkPosGenerator.

Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks and kind regards, Michael

Michael,

I'm fairly certain I ran into an identical issue, and my solution was to do as you did and delete the double entries. What led me to take a look at the .xml's was that I noticed an error message in PSXseecontraffic about duplicate parking postions, and I was getting no parked aircraft at some airports. Upon review of the respective .xml's I noticed MANY duplicated parking positions. Deleting the doubles solved the problem, and I got parked aircraft. Unfortunately, I expect the I will encounter this again when I run ParkPos after installing new scenery. My parked files were generated by v9.5. I have installed 9.6, but the release notes don't say anything about fixing our issue.

If I'm not mistaken, my issue was with FSDT airports.

Kind Regards,

Hello Michael,

I thought you had left PXseeconTraffic? Welcome back... 😉

For the time being you have to manually delete double entries until I have improved PPG.

EDIT: PPG 9.7 will generate unique parking positions only.

Kind regards,

Nico

I couldn't resist that Easter offer from Real Traffic... although I feel guily.

Thanks for taking care, will install and run this one.

As a side note, I had been using PSXSeecontraffic networked for some time. I'm now running it on the Flightsim machine and according to my first impression it seems to be much smoother. There is a minor disadvantage I can't interact with the UI while flying (at least not without having it on top of the sim) but otherwise this seems to work better overall.

Kind regards, Michael

With these multi core cpu's it is better to run RealTraffic and PSXseeconTraffic at the FlightSim machine. However, a second (or more) monitor for the UIs would be handy. 

Kind regards,

Michael and Nico,

I used to run PSXseecontraffic on a networked laptop, but I finally got tired of seeing the skips/jerkiness of AI movement. Lately I've been running it locally and it definitely smooths out the traffic movement.

Thanks Nico for PPG 9.7. I'll give it a try.

Kind Regards,

Well the difference should not be that great (it should be hardly noticable with the eye), maybe there was a lot of local network traffic (from other apps) or your laptop was not fast enough ...
