GSX Profile for LOWS Salzburg Airport by DigitalDesign
The profile aims to be as close as possible to real-world operations and includes every parking position
Features:
- Accurate ground handling company
- Accurate pushback options matching real-world procedures
- Accurate passenger walk-in matching real-world procedures
- Accurate stop positions (based on mix between Fenix A320/PMDG 737)
- Custom vehicle placements
Installation:
Extract the .zip file and move one of the .ini files to %APPDATA%\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS
Summer and Winter version included:
The download comes with two different versions for you to choose from. In Salzburg, Winter operations differ from Summer operations. Make sure to only install one profile. The profile won't work if both are installed at the same time.

First of all, thanks for sharing your work!
Then to my question, I noticed how the AFCAD path points to ...AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS\objects.bgl but I don't have this file and normally I've seen how the path points to a bgl file in the installation folder for the airport scenery.
Never fully understood how all this works. IIRC, the GSX Pro developer has said the path no longer is required but again, I'm still a bit confused.

This is fully irrelevant now since SU12 and has no effect on the profile whatsover. You can ignore it; the profile works regarless no matter what‘s in there ;)
(the path in there points to the GSX directory because it was also possible to intall .bgl files in there if you bought the scenery through the marketplace. But like I said this is irrelevant now and it stems from the time when GSX couldn‘t read/access marketplace scenery files.)

Thank you for update (3.0) - download includes summer/winter versions. Do we install both files or just choose one of them? Perhaps others will also be asking the same question... might be an idea to include info either inside the download folder or in the installtion instructions above... great job ... appreciate everything you do to enhance this fantastic hobby 😊

GSX can only read one profile. You can only install one. Sorry, I only wrote that in the roadmap. You can choose between the Summer and the Winter version. Whichever one you want you drag into your profile folder. Should you want to change it, it is important to remove the other one. That is why I wrote "previous version must be deleted before installing this one" in the changelog. Because the naming is different, the files won't overwrite themselves, which brings us back to having 2 versions installed at once, subsequently leading to problems. I will edit the description accordingly.

I would appreciate a little help... I am trying to use this profile with DigitalDesign version, afcad_path = is blank... do I need to enter a path here?
I have read comments relating to other profiles where some users say there is no need to edit and/or insert anything in this field ... confused... please clarify

The AFCAD path is no longer needed since the SU 10 Navdata API update. Make sure you tick the checkbox "Use SU10 Navdata API" wihing the GSX setting. Open FSDT installer, go to config, and click the chackbox. It may be possible that it doesn't work coz GSX is a faff. If it still doesn't work, you need to make a couatl_MSFS file. Here is how you do it.
Go to your virtuali folder (the one where you place profile, but NOT inside the GSX folder. just the virtuali folder.
There you should see a couatladdons.ini and a KeyMapping.ini
Create a new .ini file and name it Couatl_MSFS
open the file and copy and paste this line into it: useAirportCache=0
After doing that GSX will definitely use the API and it works.

Little Correction: Only W2 W3 W4 and W5 feature walking boarding. The rest only have busses, exept if Terminal 2 is in operation, wich only happens in winter with the skiing charters, then it also has foot boarding for W6 W7 W8 from T2
Sincerely and sorry for the long text,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have to add though that, I think it was 3 or 4 weeks ago by now, deboarding at W6 was not handled by bus. I spent hours on the terrace and this is how I crated the profile. Maybe this was not standard ops and just a one-time thing.
No worries I am always glad to hear suggestions for improvements :)
Best,
Michael.

So, I have the Orbx Version of Salzburg and I do have some positions double, for example I have 2 parking, 2 positions. Also I cannot select every stand as my highest parking stand I can select is 8. I think it has something to do, that in the Orbx .bgl the stands are name W2 and E2 so its both recognize as gate 2. Is there any way to fix this?
2 years ago
Hello there. First of all, I think you mean DigitalDesign, ORBX is just a distributer. Secondly, the problem you are encountering is a problem with an old GSX version. This bug was fixed with the Sept. 28 update of GSX mentioned in the description. Prior to this update positions 1-6 were doubled. Meaning that E1 and W1, for example, both were named Parking 1. The .BGL actually doesn't use the correct names, unfortunately. I made this profile with the default .BGL as the stand names were the same and therefore it worked, more or less, for the marketplace version and the 3rd party version, no matter where you bought it.
Conclusion is that the September 28 GSX update fixed this and now I can make an extra version for the 3rd party .BGL. You can expect an update in the following days. Beware that you also need to update GSX in order to use the updated profile once I'm done with it.
Best,
Michael.

I have a Simmarket version of LOWS from DigitalDesigne and for me, your profile is not working. Any help?
2 years ago
Please make sure that you have installed it correctly. I checked the simmarket version and it uses the same parking positions in the afcad as the marketplace version. For me, the profile worked fine fo some reason. Please follow the steps in this video where I explain exactly how to correctly intall a profile, an make sure that it is loaded correctly.

Should you still encounter any problems, please let me know. But I am afraid to say this is likely to be a probelm on your end, as I assume not everybody of the 1,4k downloads is using the marketplace version. :/

I have a question. DO these kind of Profiles here on Flightsim.to also work with marketplace addons or just with via aerosoft one? Because i have seen, that GSX does not recognize marketplace addons.
2 years ago
I created this profile with the marketplace version! Which means this one definitely does work. GSX is just not able to read the AFCAD file correctly, that‘s why the names of the stands are off, like I described in the description and manual.
