Compatibility with other Third Party add-ons.
Compatibility issues with other add-ons usually occur when multiple
AFCAD files are active for one airport. The AFCAD file creates the
layout of the airport and has general information including elevation,
runways, taxiways and parking positions.
Many non-airport add-ons includes custom AFCAD files, e.g. AI traffic
add-ons packages and Landclass/Terrain packages are known to
include these kinds of files.
It’s critical to only have one AFCAD file active at the time, failing to do
so could result in incorrect display of the airport, such as levitating AI
traffic and terrain mesh graphical artifacts.
Included with this scenery is a Configuration Tool, this tool will do a
automatic search for files that
could cause the scenery to display incorrectly.
To read more about this tool see the “Configuration Tool” chapter.
Animated Jetways
The scenery features animated jetways, to utilize this feature SODE is
needed and the appropriate settings has to be applied in the Scenery
Configuration Tool. Passenger boarding animations are also included,
to see these these animations the “airport level of detail” settings in
the Configuration Tool has to be set to High. If a lower Level of detail
is selected the jetways will still be animated, but the passengers will
not be displayed. For the jetway to attach correctly, the aircraft xml file
needs to include correct exit information, for more information on this
please see the SODE user manual.
