So now that the uploader is responsible, it's up to you to provide a description that will make your files findable by people doing reasonable searches. I.e., they will include the ICAO code for the airport, but NOT include what state or country it's in. In scenery what I've seen lately is people won't fully describe what and where the scenery is. "USAF" and "US Air Force" and "United States Air Force" all mean the same thing. You also run into cases where multiple terms are used for the same thing, i.e. Someone looking for that plane could possibly use either of those terms in their search. For example, airplanes often have an official name and a nickname, i.e. Using a hybrid weather depiction interface through X-Plane 11’s weather API, a realistic, high-performance and high-fidelity weather experience is realized. So further, an ideal description should include every possible term under which it might be searched. Active Sky XP (ASXP) brings the popular award-winning Active Sky weather engine to the X-Plane platform for the first time. What you have to remember is you're not just writing text, you're actually putting down a whole list of tags that the search engine will use to find the file. Scenery is done in a similar manner, adjusted for the different information required. If you remember the old file library, you saw this standard format on every aircraft file. If the file is an aircraft the title should contain the following parts in this order:ġ) What flight simulator(s) the file is forĢ) If it's an airliner, what airline liveryģ) The name of the company that built the planeĥ) Additional descriptive information such as:ī) terms like "fleet" if multiple planes are includedįS2004 United Airlines Boeing 747-400 N747UA I once wrote up a highly detailed document on how a good file description should begin: Unfortunatly, Active Sky XP appears to still be using the old 19 aircraft TCAS hack way rather than the updated API and as a result any plugin trying to show more than 19 aircraft on the map, gets a crash to desktop. As file librarian, I used just such a standard format. The TCAS datarefs have changed in XP BETAs and now you can have more than 19 aircraft.
