LocalAircraft file not working properly #81

Closed BallerG closed 1 year ago

BallerG commented 1 year ago

So I have a LocalAircraft .txt file which forces military aircraft such as 2-reg over to civil etc but on V3 I'm having issues getting it to work

Do I need to do something different for V3?

You either need to wait for the StandingData update which runs over night, or restart VRS.

Also selfless plug with instructions https://github.com/rikgale/LocalAircraft

I have done both re waiting for the overnight update and a manual restart but neither have worked.

Regarding the guide, that is exactly how I have the file named from Version 2.4.4

They only thing I can suggest is trying a different LocalAircraft.txt and see if that works.

A bug had been introduced recently in the parsing of LocalAircraft.txt for v3. The unit tests already showed the bug, but I hadn't run the unit tests so that didn't help. Sorry about that! I've checked in the fix and it should appear in the next preview.

There is a larger problem in that the Guernsey registry's block post-dates the code blocks that VRS is using, it's entirely unaware of it and because it came out of a block that had previously been military you end up with all Guernsey registrations being shown as UK military.

I need to update the code blocks, but for that I'll need to find a source of them. I don't think the original source is still being updated.
