Park Position Generator

bvanhout · November 28, 2019

Hi Nico,

I am having a problem with ParkPos Generator in the sense that the layout of the data in the files it generates are completed different the ones available on your website and to the ones I have previously generated.

With the default files there are large numbers of aircraft available, albeit in the wrong places. When I create the file using PPG all the aircraft on the ground disappear.

I looked at the files and found the file to be completely different. It has no structure and line spacing just a whole lot of data on a page.

For some reason I am unable to attach files here to show you an example.

Regards

Brian

Hi Brian,

That sounds very weird, the structure of the files PPG generates has not changed at all, it is an .XML file with -by definition- a well defined structure...

If you do not see aircraft at the ground you might have missed the checkbox in the left top corner of the UI. Another possibility is that you do not have the liveries available (see my answer today in another post about how PPG generates airport files).

Are you using an editor that can display .xml files correctly, such as Notepad++?

If I'm right you have my email addres, so please send me the file by email for inspection.

Regards,

Nico

Will do.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for your mail with files. Both files (EIDW and OBBI) are (structurely speaken) perfectly fine...

The OBBI.XML has no parking position generated by PPG, just one real live position added by PSXT.

The reason why PPG was not able to generate aircraft+types for parking positions is either that you did not select the checkbox, or - more likely- the same reasons I explained in the post I referred to in my previous answer here.

But again there is no problem wit OBBI.XML, shown below.

Hi Nico,

The EIDW file sent with the first email is the one where on y system the format is all messed up.

The OBBI one displays correctly on my system.

I have taken the EIDW and I am correcting it with the correct format and I'll see if it works.

Hi Brian,

The EIDW.xml that you sent me is perfectly fine. Can you tell me what is wrong in your opinion?

Nico

Hi Nico,

There is no line spacing in the xml. the data just flows from the one line into the next.

I took one of the files and corrected the line spacing now that one is working fine. I think I will download PPG and AILG again and try again with fresh installs.

I notice if I open the file with word pad the format is correct, but in notepad it's incorrect.

Thanks for the assistance. I'll give feedback when I've reinstalled the programmes.

Cheers

Brian

Hi Brian,

I see no problems when opening with WordPad, Notepad or Notepad++.
