Compatibility issues with AIRAC 2603 R2 (especially for ZSHC)

In the version released by your team before fixing the AIRAC2603 CTD issue, the ZSHC (Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport) airport developed by SS3D showed compatibility with previous AIRAC versions that was not present (including the ability to use parking positions and taxiways without needing to move orders, and complete SID and STAR), as shown in the image below.

However, in the latest release of AIRAC 2603 R2, although the CTD issue has been successfully fixed, the ZSHC airport is in the same situation as the previous version (that is, taxiways and parking positions can only be used by adjusting the ZSHC plugin order to the bottom, and the SID and STAR are incomplete in this case, resulting in incompatibility).

I understand that asking your development team to add compatibility with third-party plugins is troublesome, but could you please consider this point in next month’s AIRAC?

Hi,
Which SIM version are you referring to here? For MSFS2020, you must re-order it; for MSFS2024, the package_order_hint must be set correctly since SU3.

I don´t have this scenery, and we also have no contact with the devs, so I can´t look into it further, sorry.

Cheers,
Richard

It is MFS 2020, but I would like to confirm if the “Compatibility” of ZSHC is the main reason which cause the CTD with AIRAC 2603 before? If that so, I could accept that.

No, the CTDs had nothing to do with a single airport like ZSHC - the reason was an incomplete (and/or corrupt - currently analyzing) upload from our side. Some base files were missing previously, which caused CTDs because the sim could not find them in our package. We have re-uploaded the complete package, which fixes the issues.

But it has nothing to do with any single airport …

Cheers,
Richard
