OMDB Configurator Question

Post by ChuckO » Sun Nov 21, 2021 12:12 pm

To save space on my P3D5 root drive, I moved my FlyTampa folder to another SSD, and used the Add-To-P3D.cmd to reset the .xml installed scenery. The Dubai OMDB v2.4+P3D5 update isn't an .xml addon, so I added it to the scenery library. All good, except the FlyTampa-Configurator isn't seeing my OMDB. If I hacked an add-on.xmls for Dubai and Dubai_LC, would OMBB appear as a tab in the configurator ? Or is the LC scenery component a problem? Any alternative way to configure the Dubai scenery?

the configurator tool reads the airport config files in /FlyTampa/scripts/
So if you moved your whole FlyTampa/ folder with OMDB in it the scripts folder should have been moved as well.

for it to work it needs to be in the correct "relative" folder structure. So:

/FlyTampa/FlyTampa-Configurator.exe
/FlyTampa/scripts/ has ICAO-XML files for respective airports. If OMDB doesn't show in the tool, the OMDB XML is probably missing
/FlyTampa/airportname/
/FlyTampa/airportname/
/FlyTampa/airportname/

For the configurator to work in the sense that its making the correct adjustments to the airport files, those airport folders also need to be in the same folder structure like described above.
