VDGS gates at KBOS

[Lucky67]

With the latest available KBOS update when the SODE (+ VDGS) add-on reads the xml file for KBOS these warnings are returned

[21:35:14.958] DEBUG SODE.XML : Building List from File 'C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml\FlyTampa_VDGS_KBOS.xml'

Is this something wrong within your xml file or that the SODE VDGS tool cannot read it as expected?

Where are you reading that? Seems to be working fine here.
Do you have the SODE VDGS pack installed?

[Lucky67]

I've got the payware VDGS add-on as mentioned in my previous notes, otherwise I wouldn't have raised the question here.
And that one is an excerpt of the sode log file.

[george[flytampa]]

It might not like the space between = and the aircraft type. Try the attached.

Much better now, tested gate A13 with the latest PMDG 747 and it works without warnings about A13 in the log file.
Only one warning still there.

[14:04:01.490] DEBUG SODE.XML : Building List from File 'C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\xml\FlyTampa_VDGS_KBOS.xml'
[14:04:01.491] WARN SODE.XML : [VDGS] SimObject 'VDGS GATE_B 21', Stop@21.000000: AcftType=E145,CRJ9,CRJ7,CRJ2,E170 is not supported by SODE!

Probably I should raise the same question to the SODE developer, to know what the VDGS add-on is supposed to find in these xml files.
BTW. the FlyTampa_KLAS_VDGS.xml is fine and does not return any warning.

[Lucky67]

Here we go.
12bPilot, the developer behind SODE, told me (find his response below) what is the correct syntax to be honored.
Actually it seems that entry within KBOS VDGS xml was the only one using commas.

<Stop Distance="21.0" AircraftTypes="E145,CRJ9,CRJ7,CRJ2,E170"/>

_____________________________________________
For the AircraftTypes entry in the xml file, the individual 4-letter aircraft types (or group names) need to be separated by a semi-colon ;

However, in the next SODE version the xml parser is a bit more tolerant and will internally correct even colons and commas as separators. But officially, the separator is the semi-colon.

Thanks. I'll leave it till he add the commas. The ALL_REGIONAL tag should cover those aircraft for now.
