Only reading 65 default airports, MSFS Steam version

[PuTTyZa 0]

Good day,

I have setup PSXT and been through the manual a few times, but I cannot seem to get this app to read all the default airports. Below is the parameters.xml and log.txt file for your attention.  Please advise.

You have to set the stock airports folder. Mine is

<parameter name="STOCK_AIRPORTS_PATH" value="M:\MSFS\Official\Steam\fs-base" />

Using Steam, too.

Kind regards, Michael

Hi Michael.

It is set to the correct folder:

<parameter name="STOCK_AIRPORTS_PATH" value="G:\Games\MSFS2020\Official\Steam\fs-base" />

 

But in the log it shows this, and that does not make sense:

++++++++++++++++++++++++ airports search manual starts +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sorry, my bad. There is another one which I have set to

<parameter name="STOCK_AIRPORTS_FOLDER" value="M:\MSFS Addons" /> 

Not sure if this correct but at least it works and I have quite a high number of airports detected. 

Kind regards, Michael

That  parameter is not used  in the normal (non-networked) setting....  

stock_airports is the name of the subfolder in which PSXT_MSFS stores the stock airports found defined by the  STOCK_AIRPORTS_PATH  parameter

Thank you, I did not see that 🙂

Do you maybe know why in the log it is trying to find the airports in a different place than specified in the xml?

Thanks. Will keep this in mind when switching to a networked configuration (again).
