Most likely all of you are right. What moves a user is nothing more than the illusion, the projection, the expectation.

When you don't stop working and have little time, when you get home, the only thing you hope for is that your hobby works. You don't want to run into stutters, ctd, poor traffic, CPU issues etc, etc... even more when yuo have a very modern rig.

Being a beta tester sure, from a naive point of view, is wonderful. I would never get on a plane in beta even if the rest told me: take heart, if it wasn't for us, there would be no aviation!:)

(it's a joke)

I am probably wrong.
We must continue with the products that do not work quite well.

You provided no sim-related specifics, so you must be talking about X-Plane or P3D. My seven-year-old computer runs MSFS beautifully at 30fps at 2K resolution

heheh, this will always be the argument. It's like saying: that doctor is bad, he didn't give me good medicine. And the other says: for me he is good, I was cured.

In fact, there are people who allow vaccines to be injected without being fully experienced.

Quote

They forced you to take part in the beta???

That is precisely the argument: they make you think that you are not forced.

But, what makes a user try a beta is the hope that the product works much better than it has.

Example: I give you a product that doesn't work very well, but you ve already paid for it,  and I tell you: do you want to try the beta?

Actually, this reflection is due to the fact that I have been seeing for two years how MSFS is full of bugs, and problems related to performance and other aspects. This made me wonder: how is it possible that a product on the market has so many errors? But obviously, being a good candy, we all ate them.

The fact is not that they force you or not to try a beta: it would be tremendous!
For me, the reflection is based on the fact that testing should be done by professionals and not by users who will be saying over and over again, for a month: "DLSS works well for me" and others "not for me".

These kinds of things should be done in private.
Asobo does a wonderful job with this simulator, but this does not mean that we have had two years of continuous bugs.

Think that even online air traffic does not work well.

There is nothing more wonderful for a company that its consumers test its product, without it having been finished. In addition, the company does not pay them, quite the opposite: it charges them.

Success will come when the company also manages to make users happily affirm that they don't care, that they do it because it is a pleasure for them.

The company just has to call it BETA, or FIX...

The number of tests and professionals that the company will save will be enormous.

Users will happily have CTD, but will happily wait.

I envy your situation. I would love to hear the sound of other aircraft's turbines louder from my cockpit. I have the maximum in the settings and still almost nothing is heard.

That's not good. The line with ElAl787-9 1 is already in your "history", the file "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt"

You only need to the define the new livery ElAl787-9 2  (you are talking about a library, but I guess you mean livery)

If you put your new file, below the other file (by giving it such a name that it is lower in alphabeticcal order, in your example that's ok), the regcode for the new livery will replace the old one in your history.

However, you could also insert the new livery in your history file after EL787-9 1, then the regcode will be set to the new livery and not to the older one. That's a lot easier and safer.

 

EDIT: I have not studies the rest of your example, you better re-start with this change first.

In agreement. So from now on, I will not create a new "txt" file for the new liveries, but I will always add them in "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt" in the way you tell me

Thanks again.)

Well,  To carry out the test, I have decided to add a new livery, in this case from EL AL, the 789, and, therefore, a modification of the "atc-id" line.

1) On aircraft-cfg, i had this [fltsim.7]:

[fltsim.7]
title=El Al 787-9 1
model=ELAL\4X-EDE
texture=ELAL\4X-EDE
atc_parking_codes=ELY
atc_parking_types=GATE
icao_airline="ELY"
ui_type=B789
atc_id=4X-EDA,4X-EDB,4X-EDC,4X-EDD,4X-EDE,4X-EDF,4X-EDH,4X-EDI,4X-EDJ,4X-EDK,4X-EDL,4X-EDM
isAirTraffic=1
isUserSelectable=0

2) and now add this:

[fltsim.8]
title=El Al 787-9 2
model=ELAL\4X-EDF
texture=ELAL\4X-EDF
atc_parking_codes=ELY
atc_parking_types=GATE
icao_airline="ELY"
ui_type=B789
atc_id=4X-EDF
isAirTraffic=1
isUserSelectable=0

As you see, l introduce the new retro library: 4X-EDF

(Of course, i know its an special "id" but, for this test, im going to treat it like a normal added livery.

3) following your recommendation, I create a .txt called: "Mytraffic-Abraham.txt" and paste this:

El Al 787-9 1;4X-EDA,4X-EDB,4X-EDC,4X-EDD,4X-EDE,4X-EDH,4X-EDI,4X-EDJ,4X-EDK,4X-EDL,4X-EDM
El Al 787-9 2;4X-EDF

4) When i start PSXT, i discover that the ancient "El Al 787-9 1" (with: atc_id=4X-EDA,4X-EDB,4X-EDC,4X-EDD,4X-EDE,4X-EDF,4X-EDH,4X-EDI,4X-EDJ,4X-EDK,4X-EDL,4X-EDM is not deleted from "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt".

5) So now, i have two different EL AL liveries: the one from "Mytraffic-Abraham.txt" and the other from the past on "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt"

6) So, So obviously I proceed to open "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt" and delete the ancient EL AL.

7) After doing that, all is good. But, at the same time, i go to PSXT_MSFS / info /AirlineData.ext, and discover this:

ELY;B789;AIGAIM_UTT_B787-9_RR;4X-EDF

😎 There is nothing about EL AL on "OfflineRegcodes.txt"

So, 4X-EDF is added, but not the other 11 liverys

9) In summary:

- PSXT works well as always except from now on I know I'll have to go into "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt" and delete the old livery, and put this one in. Or simply delete it because I have already created a new ".txt" (Mytraffic-Abraham.txt)

- I dont know if it is a bug, but "AirlineData.ext," doesnt save the new changes, as i showed you.

- It would be great to at least have the liveries arranged alphabetically in "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt" by the time many new liveries have to be added. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I hope I have been able to take the proper steps to do this check. And have contributed to help.
Thanks Kiek for the help and tell me what I've done wrong.
A hug!

That's the result of  scanning all your  valid iveries.

Checking regcode clashes takes place later, that's why duplicate use is not filtered out yet in AirlineData.txt

 

Note that it is technically speaking  impossible to map a regcode to more than one livery title, so PSXT will always choose one.

It will/should report the clash in the info\OfflineRegcodes.txt file. If that is not the case, then there is a bug. Maybe you can give a complete example?

 

Thank you very much. Of course, I'll do a full library and id change process and check them to see what changes occur. And I will notify you.
Thank you very much for the support

I still don't see why you are complaining.

PSXT still supports multiple registration codes.

The only change is from inline via atc_id's to offline via text files.

The results of the old inline way via atc_id's is still saved for you in the file MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt. So nothing is lost.

A major advantage of the new offline method is that we can share these files, so not everone has to spend time assigning regcodes. It looks as you have completely missed the work done by vHaaland and Voske for AIG in MSFS. About 400 users now use multiple regcodes fir AIG aircraft without having to spend 1 minute on it.

I am not complaining, and I am not an AIG user.
Simply, so that your software evolves, I inform you of the possible errors that may exist. That's why creator and user are a team. Right now, "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt" is not doing its job properly because it doesn't record data and doesn't report duplicate data. That's the truth, I did it just to help, not to annoy you or take your time.

I am also using time of my life to write to you so that the software evolves.

Quote

By the way you are in the top league of people I spend time on responding to questions ...

Thank you. But I'm not looking for a relationship...it's just a contribution from a user.😎

Thanks for the info.
We users, especially the most faithful, are grateful for your free work. I would have no difficulty (I have always said it) in paying for what you have done.
On the other hand, I am also happy that our testimonials help you to evolve, without it, impossible.
In this team that we form, it is strange to notice how there is something cold (suddenly) in the words you write. The decision to change what PSXT used to do is yours, of course.
Consequences don't...
I say this because, every time a user enters some data incorrectly (which is very logical because there are thousands and thousands of "atc---id"), we will have to become software scholars and prevent errors from occurring.
That means more in the long run, that PSXT will be full of bugs all the time and airports will be full of mismatched libraries.

If the program is made to realistically fly (as you advertise) libraries in airports and skies...then the mistake would be that we are going to spend much more time fixing them than enjoying them.

Even spending the time (I've been 10 years or more) updating libraries and cleaning bad data with the old PSXT, there were still bugs that slipped by. Because we are human and not machines. That's what software is for.

Still, if that's stressful for you, you're within your rights.
Thanks.

Well, im sorry but, not exactly as you say.

why? because, on my : info/offlineRegcodes.txt, there is not any reference to Fuji dream airplanes. But the true is that their are repeting many times, because i read it on "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids".txt.

 Another example: on the "Airlinedata.txt" that PSXT has...you can read this.

FDA;E170;Embraer170 FSL;JA01FJ,JA02FJ,JA04FJ
FDA;E75L;AIGAIM_RFSL_EMB-175_NWv3;JA05FJ,JA09FJ,JA09FJ,JA10FJ,JA11FJ,JA12FJ,JA13FJ,JA14FJ,JA15FJ,JA16FJ
FDA;E75S;AIGAIM_RFSL_EMB-175v3;JA03FJ,JA05FJ,JA06FJ,JA07FJ,JA08FJ

as you can see, JA05FJ and JA09FJ are repeated.

of course, every time i put a new liverie, i check all to try to do the less error but now, if i dont see them (its normal beause i have 7000 liveries), psxt dont is not warning me as before.

in this case, even the info\OfflineRegcodes.txt that you say,  didnt warn me with "fuji" and other:

Well it is a simple .txt file so I see no reason why you cannot add text to it and save it. Edit the file when PSXT is not running.

Otherwise  start a new file and put that in the regcodes folder, that works too. That is even nicer because you are creating new info with the new offline method,  you are not rewriting history.

 

 

 

 

ok. i will do that!. Yesterday night, i deleted the primitive one and saw PSXT created again a new one, but it was updated. 

I will do what you recommend, of course, creating a new .txt one. 

thanks again for your kind help, and sorry for making twoo many quiestion!!

its the ai traffic passion!:)

No, the SPECIALS parameter will be removed. You can add new ones to MySpecialRegcodes.

You cannot define multiple regcodes in atc_id= field anymore

You can add those to MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids  or open a new file and put that in liveries\regcodes.

(For the specification see 4.3.2)

 

Well, as you said to me: "You can add those to MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids". Ok, so i did it...

I added a new regcode but "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids" didnt save it. 

i dont understand. I read the manual and it says:

"In the file one should specify the (exact) title of the livery followed by a semicolon, followed by a list of registration codes separated by commas. The regcodes in these files have preference over (overrule) the same ones in the aircraft.cfg files"

so, that was what i did.

my new regcode wasnt saved.

excuse me but, ....isnt that exactly what i asked you first? you answered me: no and no. ¿?....

i mean, instead of adding new atc-ids to aircraft.cfg, , i put them on "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids"

and the same with the special ones.

Yes but landed and takeoff does not necessaraly  mean an update. Switch off real only.

And FlightRadar24 is not the source...

Ok thank you. 

Flightradar24 and realtraffic data were my source:)

Thanks, I've read it.
My air traffic does not have in its titles: AIGAIM. That is, the liveries have been downloaded one by one from many different sources and pages.
So, when I add a new library, I always modify the aircraft.cfg
I understand that I should continue doing it like this, according to what I read in your manual, instead of adding them to "MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids"
What do I do with the SPECIAL? Can I still include it in the "parameters.xml? or I can write them in "MySpecialRegcodes"

Excuse so much doubt, but having 7000 libraries made one by one I want to do it well so as not to lose the data.

Thank you very much!

30 minutes after my last post, the learner has only update 1 ai plane, but in LEZL a lot of planes have landed and taken off.

look at this:

For example, now im flying to LEZL. This is the capture of Learner and PSXT. It says traffic stream on yellow, but realtraffic, and also flightradar24 show activity on LEZL. 

oh...and every time i want to include an "special" new one, i must write it on "MySpecialRegocodes.txt"?

the same with a new atc id on MyMultRegcodesFromAtcids.txt?

for example, i have made another flight now: from GCFV to GCTS and the learner says GCTS. But, unfortunatley, its always on yellow (while realtraffic and littlenav map where showing many planes landing and taking off this destination). 

So there is something that doesnt work. 

no, it doesnt. 

Hello.

I have started PSXT, checked on the "learn destination" and after, started Learning tool. The destination is GCFV. Even if there is now a lot of planes landing and taking off, the learner tool always says: updates 0, and "no traffic data received", but my "realtraffic tool" is working very well. i have real traffic on the PSXT now.

i have the proffessional license of realtraffic and MSFS.

could you help me?

Hello. Thank you very much for improving the program. In this latest update, planes land and briefly disappear from the runway as they hit the ground. Something that does not happen in Realtraffic. Within a minute, they appear on the ground and run to the updated position.
Some planes, when they take off, do not take off, although Realtraffic reports the change in altitude.
The same thing happens in taxiing. The planes push back from the jetway and prepare to taxi. At that moment they disappear, something that does not happen on the RealTraffic screen. After a while, they reappear in some other position.
I am sorry to communicate this news but, at least to me, it is what happens to me.
Thank you very much!!!

Hello. While in external view I hear the sound of traffic around me, especially at the airport, what happens to me inside the cabin of my PMDG is that it is barely audible.
I've tried everything, even leaving only the "other planes" setting at 100 and the rest at zero. You hear something but very little.
I know that there will be many who say that they listen to it perfectly, or that there is no need to listen to it so much, but for those who are like me...
does anyone know any tricks?
my traffic is the AIG.
Thank you!

I understand your situation.
In my case, when I add a library, I put it in the "cfg" file and then let PSXT update it and even put the title in quotes.
Kiek is somewhat right, I can do it myself at the end of each FLTSIM.
The only problem is that I will no longer be able to alphabetize the libraries as before. This makes it more difficult to find and group them.

My bookstores have:
the airline folder and within it many subfolders, each with a different registration.

thank you anyway!
