Yes one can specify airline codes, at least plenty other devs have done it. I'm surprised to read you say it's not possible? Can you elaborate on why this wouldn't work at KSMF?
The adding of codes to gates is not documented in the SDK and all developers are relying on the technique used for FSX/P3D. So it’s not a guarantee it will all work 100%.
Regardless, Matteo has assigned the codes to the two terminals now.

There’s been a delay with implementing the bundle process which allow for the upgrade discount. The product is ready but we are waiting on Asobo to investigate a small anomaly in the Marketplace UI that may cause confusion.

Current advice is unchanged, and we are still welcoming feedback on people's experience with it installed.

I bought Orbx EGLC v1 on the Aerosoft store (can't remember why I didn't use the Orbx store, think I had a voucher left for Aerosoft). How do I go about upgrading to V2?
Aerosoft will be replicating the upgrade discount in their store. This should be available this coming Monday/Tuesday.

Little hint, planned to release 1 pm Saturday Melbourne time. It's a fantastic piece of scenery and people will love it.

We don't have that feature unfortunately at the moment and is planned for the future.

Easter Sale = Orbx non-MSFS content 30% off
MS Spring Sale = Orbx and a few Partners MSFS content at various percentages.
Both exclude new releases.

Thanks for alerting us, unfortunately Aerosoft have not informed us of the update.

It is one of my favorite small ones
I requested it and finally Pyreegue made it
Currently all the terrain around Tivat morphs, no matter where you look, it does.
Your version seems better, fresh. It is very possible that I'll do the exchange
Carlos
Hi Carlos, the terrain in the area unfortunately still morphs and we have seen this in other parts of Europe, eg. around Bern. If not already done so, maybe upvote this nasty bug here.

The new runway is one of the many updates that they are making to the airport.

MK Studios has pulled that version from sale as a v2 will be released soon.

UKKM Antonov-2 (Hostomel) is the Ukrainian home of the Antonov Design Bureau, and the one and only Antonov AN-225. As such this is no typical commercial airport. Antonov-2 is home to some of the most eccentric Antonov aircraft designs and has been a base for transport, special flights and testing since it’s inception!
From the 24th February 2022, the airport was heavily damaged as part of the invasion of Ukraine. The Battle of Hostomel saw the devastation of the hangars and the mighty AN-225, amongst many other historic and current Antonov aircraft parked on the main taxiways. Not to mention nearby areas of Hostomel.
This recreation of UKKM is designed to honour the lives lost at Hostomel Airport and indeed the legacy of the AN-225 and it’s sister craft.
I have painstakingly re-created all of the Antonov Aircraft based at Hostomel Airport (and some that weren’t!). From the high engine mounted AN-74, to the little AN-2 historical workhorse; from the mighty breadth of the AN22 and it’s enchanting navigation windows, to the marvel of engineering that is the AN-225 – all of this craft are a piece of Ukrainian and Antonov history, and you can experience them all now, in Microsoft Flight Simulator!
The Antonov designs hold a magic curiosity - a unique aesthetic – very much different to the western designs of the era. For me these represent the spirit of Antonov design and the greater Hostomel. And I hope you enjoy experiencing the Airport as it always should be.
10% of the net proceeds of sales will go toward the rebuilding effort for this aircraft.

Are you referring to the bgl files provided here for the add ons that are in the Marketplace because the bgl files are encrypted?
-
Hotfix 1.0.1 is out now for the quick fixes
- ATR has been removed
- Y6 parking has been added
- Added some taxi path connections- 1

The sim applies snow according to the colour of the underlying material. The darker the material, the less snow. Those apron sections are lighter in colour hence them appearing as such.
Finn darkened those area as much as possible with trying to stay as close to the real-life colouring as possible.
This is something that Asobo should really look at again.

Hello Ed,
thanks for looking into this, however your assumption is incorrect.
The remark for TDZ lighting on the charts refers to where the lights are located AT, not how long they are running for from the threshold. Simple TDZ lighting does not run along the runway, these are simply a pair of lights on each side of the runway centreline.
Chapter 5.3.14 in ICAO Doc Annex 14 describes simple TDZ lighting in detail, but here's the relevant illustration that summarises things perfectly:
So as you can see, just 4 lights for each runway landing direction. 4 lights for RWY14 and 4 lights for RWY32, located at the distance published in the charts.
If the SDK does not allow for these lights, and you're unable or unwilling to do custom lighting, then I suggest to simply DISABLE the Asobo TDZ lighting, as having no TDZ lighting turned on is a much more realistic scenario compared to having a huge carpet of lights that simply does not exist on the real runway.
Let me know if you need further info, I'd be happy to help. Also if you require lighting information out of the Swiss AIP publication I can send them over.
Cheers,
Markus
Thanks Markus, that makes sense and should be easy to implement.

Looking good so far, I'm very interested in getting this.
However, I do hope that the developer will have another good look at the runway lights. The real runway is equipped with simple TDZ lighting only, which is completely different in layout and dimension compared to CAT2/3 TDZ lighting.
We have had a look at the touchdown lights which have been added via the SDK. This is a simple checkbox to enable or disable and no other options to customise how long it runs down the runway as it appears to use a midpoint based on the runway properties.
With the displaced threshold on 14, the TDZ lights run to 635m down the runway (621m on the charts) but for 32 they run to 850m down the runway (622 on the charts). So for 14 it works OK but not for 32.
I'm assuming that is what is being referred to with the TDZ lighting remark.

Rasha has indicated that it's in his plans to do, no estimates of timing though at this stage.

There's no control panel option but in saying that, there are only a couple of statics at the US Antarctic apron. All the domestic and international gates are available.

With that being said, temporarily disabling VDGS should eliminate even a remote chance of CTD, correct?Of this particular bug, yes.

"This update adds a mitigation that reduces the odds of stumbling upon that bug until MSFS gets fixed in the next Sim Update"
So...fundamentally it has not been fixed, but probability of CTD was decreasedFundamentally, yes I suppose.
Asobo are addressing the bug in SU12
