TropicalSim SBGR Sao Paulo - runway designation change

[Ray Proudfoot]

I bought TropicalSim SBGR from SimMarket yesterday. Nice airport and the sale is appreciated. But on loading the data into Aivlasoft's EFB the departure and arrival procedures are incorrect.

It seems the runway designations and one ILS ident have changed. I have corrected the AFCAD using Herve's utility but can't change taxiway signs and runway markings.

I've written to TS and hopefully they'll release an update. A once in 20 year change. Fingers crossed.

I have the same issue with some ancient orbx strips. I presume they are hand painted or are there default assets in the folders that need to be redone? 

Seeing as the markings are pretty much standard world wide it would be great if either 

1) A 3rd party sold a kit with all relevant single markings contained that you could switch out either manually or with a gui that scanned and displayed each airports markings. 

2) A dynamic signage system where like tail numbers in msfs you could simply just replace the numbers at top level and they would all change instantly for all markings. 

I am aware this is not a high occurrence issue so not a big market for addons but it would simplify new addon creation if either of these solutions were available?

@sloppysmusic, yes, textures are painted using software that is probably not cheap and has a learning curve.

TS released the same airport for MSFS in 2020. One comment refers to the old runway designations. Looks like he rushed it out a couple of months after MSFS was released.

He needs to update both versions. He does it once and all customers benefit. Doing it individually means you can’t redistribute copyright files.

Hi I can help: SBGR is near my home town, actually SBSP is much near my house, so I did the change in runway numbers since it came in place. Its just two texture files to update, if no copyrights violations, I could provide it for community.

There will be copyright issues so making it available publicly will break those rules. But personal messages with a suitable warning not to redistribute might be acceptable.

@Bob Scott, thoughts?

I wrote to Tropical Sim support several days ago asking for an update and have heard nothing.
