Closing projects does not close and my project has no exterior model anymore

Loading my products in community I have no issue so customers seem to be good. But since SU12 when I load one of my projects it does not show the exterior for one of the model options. The second model option show the exterior but does not animate. And the last option works perfect.

And I noticed when I close my PC version of this project which has all 3 models and open the Xbox version that only has 1 model option due to limitations the other project never closed and is still available to load from the aircraft selection. Which would make no sense as I only want to load options from this current project.

For my main big issue here are my model names for each model folder. This may be the issue. I am testing today to fix this. But I am ok with sim changes as I am still very happy with the where this sim is headed...Thanks Asobo!~

[models]
exterior=Cessna_414AW.xml
interior=Cessna_414AW_interior.xml

[models]
exterior=Cessna_414AW.xml
interior=Cessna_414AW_GTN750_interior.xml

3

[models]
exterior=Cessna_414AW.xml
interior=Cessna_414AW_GTN750XI_interior.xml

We basically used the same exterior model name for all model folders. I have a feeling this is why and would come back to bite me and I might be right.

UPDATE: Naming the exterior models to a unique name solved the issue. But was this an actual issue? I mean is it a bug for the new SDK or will we be required to use unique names for all LOD names even in different model folders?

Hi @Flysimware ,

This is a limitiation of the VFS.

When your first project is mounted in the VFS, even if the project is closed, the VFS still refers to it so if you load another project with the same package name, it is mounted in the same place and I guess this can cause conflicts like this.
I'm afraid we can't do much except rework the virtual file system but that's not planned at the moment.


Regards,
Boris

It's not the same project name but the same models since we have to have a different project for the xbox version. So for now I just restart the sim to jump between projects. For other projects no issue.


So it will be nice if you click close they are removed from the VFS.


Any thoughts on the unique LOD model names from each model folder? This was never an issue until now.
