Airport Scanning - Exclude Publisher or BGL Path

Featured Replies

Hi Nico,

Happy new year! This is just a minor ask, but I was wondering if you would be able to implement an exclusion of BGLs within a specific path. As an example, I have the BlackSquare Real Taxiways addon, and it looks like they use BGLs to place taxiway signs on default airports (or if a third-party airport does not exclude taxiway signs). As a result, my TBLO folder has ~2000 XML files, and I think a lot of that would be noise for you 🙂

These BGLs do have parking spots for some reason though, and because of this, it is treating it as a "TBLO" airport, even though I don't think it's necessary, since the parking should fall back to the default airport. 

Are you able to implement an exclusion list by either developer or folder path that would prevent these from being scanned? If so, then I would have a cleaner TBLO and can send you those results.

BGL paths within ~/Community/*/*/*.bgl:

bksq-scenery-realtaxiwaysbcde
bksq-scenery-realtaxiwayeuro
bksq-scenery-realtaxiwaysmil
