GSX Profile for EDDH Hamburg Airport.

this is a GSX Profile for the payware Simwings EDDH Scenery airport. 

Profile includes walking paths, and adjusted vehicle positions, corrected Parking positions and sizes and GSX VDGS panels, that override the non functional ones from teh scenery. The Main Gates 1-8 use APIS Panels, the Gates 9-12 Use T1S-42 and T2S-42. I tried to match the present VDGSs as close as possible. The stop positions were adapted but may need some further work.

I added a replacement option for Ground Services. Sadly I did not figure out how to add new Ground Handlers fro scratch however I added an Option to replace HAS (Hong Kong Airport Services Limited) so that they appear as Hamburg Airport. (memory hook: HAS as Hamburg Airport Services) I know it is not the HMA Ground Logo but that would be way to small on the vehicles and not match the sceneries stairs. See installation for more information and limitations.

thanks to CvzImTom for conrtibuting improvements.

Known Issue:

Some Gates were found to be missing because there are no Parking Positions present:
Gate 1, Gate 2, Gate 5, Gate 3, Gate 4, 

For Users that use the Simwings / Aerosoft Scenery from the In-Game Marketplace the scenery may not be recognized correctly by GSX.
To fix this issue the AFCAD file needs to be placed in the GSX Profiles path: \Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\virtuali\GSX\MSFS\eddhswairport.bgl since I could not find any scenery file im the Maketplaces files I needed to get it from the 3rd Party download variant.
the file can then be found:  \simwings-airport-eddh-hamburg\scenery\simwings\EDDH\eddhswairport.bgl

sadly I can not include the file her due to copyright reasons but there are places to look or kindly ask a friend.

Installation:

To install, extract the .zip and move the "eddh-simwings.ini" file inside to the following route:
\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\virtuali\GSX\MSFS

Replace the HAS Livery Textrue file by overwriting it in the GSX (Addon Manager) Installation directory.
<path>\Addon Manager\MSFS\fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways\SimObjects\GroundVehicles\FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-580\texture.HAS\GSX_LOGO_4X1.PNG.DDS This Installation needs to be refreshed after every GSX update

msfs_eddh_simwings_gsx_profile's Issues

Set Ground Handling to HAM_GH (no more HAS)

Something I didn't put in the Pull request because I forgot:

• Set the ground handling to Hamburg Airport Services (HAM_GH in Editor).

Thanks!

Custom Pushback Issues Correction Stand 1-8

Hi there,
I corrected some issues regarding the custom pushbacks in the positions 1-8 which I would like to add to the profile, correcting:

Naming issues:

• multiple pushbacks being in the same direction on the same line on Z1
• wrongly named directions which lead to confusion when pushing back

Pushback Positions

• adjusted the final pushback positions to have a better path and final position
• addition of custom pushback corners (waypoints) for custom pushback paths

Stand 1A

• slightly adjusted the parking/stop position because of the jetway being in the way

The zip including the .ini file with the changes:
eddh-simwings.zip

(I submitted a pull request with the new ini profile, but just in case I zipped it here)

Some examples of improved stuff:

• PB facing S Z1 Blue at Stand 01A and 02A:
  
  
• PB facing S Orange at Stand 02A:
  
• Pushback Namings on Stand 1-7 and 8:
