A topic done to death, perhaps…
I would like to edit the parking assignments on a 3rd party airport which is in a folder outside the community folder.
In FSX and earlier I would used ADE and have tried to understand (through FS Developer) if this is still viable. So far I have not been successful, managed to find an Alpha version of ADE though it doesn’t start, respond or seem to do anything.
Are the assignments still inside the BGL and having some kind of editor for that the only way?
ADE should still work but many people are using in the in-game dev tools. The file is still the airportname.bgl
Which airport? There mods for quite a few listed on sites like flightsim.to but it depends on which airport.
You might find some useful information over at AIG’s site which has a forum for " Airports (AFCADs/AFDs)" and includes some tutorials.
It’s the Scotflight EGPD (flightsim.to freeware), ideally I’d like to check it as historically their output has been pretty accurate and it may be the MSFS engine which is making some odd choices. Minor tweaking may force some different behaviours.
Earlier there were 5 x KLM aircraft in different parking locations, usually only one there at any one time. This is more likely to be the game engine though.
