PSXseeconTraffic for P3Dv5 - Add-On Airports

[MARK S 0]

Greetings,

So I managed to get the liveries into PSX (I had to purchase Ultimate Traffic, upload all liveries and add them according to the Manual). Boy, I can tell you I was sweating until I got this one right - I think I aged 10 years doing this.

Now, I have followed the same instructions for adding the folder path to the "parameters" line in "afolderX" ... . Disable "Automatic Scan". 
Now  I have the issue that PSX still does not pick up the Add-On airports. It keeps telling me, when I am in P3D, "learn the airports" or something like that.
X-read the manual ---- what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any pointers.

I assume you are using P3D?

Do you have add-on airport installed? If not there is no problem.

If you have, set a full path (or more paths) to the folder(-s) where they are installed. See the Manual section 5.1.

Hello,

Yes - P3Dv5.

I followed the Manual 5. and 5.1 

<parameter name="STOCK_AIRPORTS_PATH" value="" />
    <parameter name="afolder0" value="C:\P3DV5 Addons\Mega Airport Frankfurt Professional V5" />
    <parameter name="afolder1" value="C:\P3DV5 Addons\Mega Airport Oslo 2.0 - P3Dv5" />
    <parameter name="afolder2" value="C:\P3DV5 Addons\sim-wings Pro Munich V5" />
    <parameter name="afolder3" value="D:\P3D\Addon Scenery" />
    <parameter name="afolder4" value="D:\P3D\FlyTampa" />
    <parameter name="afolder5" value="D:\P3D\SimMarket" />
    <parameter name="afolder6" value="" />
    <parameter name="afolder7" value="" />
    <parameter name="afolder8" value="" />
    <parameter name="afolder9" value="" />

I have 16 Add-on airports currently but the automatic installer placed them in different directories. 
However, I added the full path and made 100% sure to hit the "ENTER" button after each line. 

Hm?

? You should not hit the enter button while editing parameters.xml...

That note is meant for text boxes in the UI.

You do not need a parameter for all.

 

C:\P3Dv5 Addons

will do for quite a number..

Could you post your Log.txt please ?

11 or so add-on sceneries are within the Add-On Scenery folder under P3D directory. '
Auto-install from other scenery developers, i.e. Aerosoft, automatically install their scenery sometimes somewhere else, which explains why not all add-on sceneries are in one place.

I know,  I'm a P3D user from the start.

Btw, I have moved all these addons to D:\Addons

and adapted the add-on.xml files. That way I could easily update P3D from v3 to v4 to v5.

And because I used the addon.xml method PSXT is able to find them automatically.

Could you post your Log.txt instead of parameters.xml?
