New .xml reading method problem

Featured Replies

Hi Nico,

since the new .xml reading method (PSXT 11.10.1) I am getting the following error message in MSFS2020:
archive/thirdparty/FlyTampa/EHAM.xml: refused to load (copyright)

This is an EHAM.xml file in my airports\my_thirdparty folder that I edited myself. This worked so far, allowing me to manually edit the xml file to record more accurate parking positions, and to record new parking spaces myself.
I simply copied the modified xml file into the airports\my_thirdparty folder and it was read by the program. This way I could immediately check the results of the changes while MSFS was running.
How can I continue to make this work in the future?

Thx,

vonSzuli

Hi,

That's an easy fix, add a line like this to the meta section of your file

    <info name="copyright" value="(c) 2025 Nico W. Kaan, Netherlands, All Rights reserved" />

but then with your name, and so on

Thanks Nico, I'll try it.

Same problem, after trying. 

This is the meta sectiona. I modified the last line as described:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<meta>
    <info name="author" value="PSXTraffic" />
    <info name="version" value="4.1.0" />
    <info name="date" value="Sept 25, 2025" />
    <info name="copyright" value="(c) 2025 vonSzuli, Hungary, All Rights reserved" />
</meta>
The modified xml file is quite old, but I guess that doesn't matter (I was able to use it until now)

Oh I see, you miss another line, add this:
 

    <info name="MSFS" value="2020" />
