I also had problems installing the program. But I am in contact with the developer, who responds very quickly and competently. With his help, I have now managed to install VDGS successfully. I hope that some minor weaknesses will be corrected in the future.
This may be the first time I've given a flight sim addon a 1 star.
I've tried numerous times to get this addon to install and work correctly and have failed each time. Developer needs to, at bare minimum, release a manual and at best make it easier to install. Specifically, I cannot get it to install in my MSFS addon folder and just get errors.
For now, I feel like I've wasted $20 and won't be buying any more products from JKTools if they so choose to create other addons in the future.
It's difficult to recommend this add-on at this time.
I like the developer's willingness to communicate, add features such as bug fixes, and respond quickly to inquiries. There are too many cases where gates don't work or the vdgs themselves malfunction due to frequent updates and game crashes. I don't know if it will become more stable in the future, but for now it is not recommended.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this tool because it:
a) laborious installation!
b) once installed, the display lights do not work at every airport entry (even though I changed the airport settings)
c) the almost daily updates are extremely annoying. I deleted it and it's fine
Nice tool. Unfortunately, the support is not the best. Since version 1.0.7. the installer no longer works for me. After entering the registry key it does not continue.
The current version 1.0.9 also has the same problem. Therefore I give only 3 stars. greetings
I bought this program today. The installation is very simple, you can add the VDGS system in all your airport car parks. I tried it on two additional airports: LKPR and LIEO, but while on LKPR the airplane was too close to the parking lot upon arrival the maneuver was perfect and guided me well to the gate. Maybe it depends on the distance adjustment of the aircraft and will do further tests. For now I'm satisfied as it is, it was the program I was missing, well done!
Purchased today. The VDGS equipment is pretty good to use and reasonably accurate. 4 types are available for use. Can be installed globally or at specific airports of choice and by parking types. However, there is compatibility issue at each airport....only posts are provided and that too the distance needs to be fixed by trial and error to avoid clashes with push back trucks, jetways etc. Once you find the correct distance there is no way to save it on per airport or per gate basis. Also there is no option to install on walls or facades of terminal buildings in case of cramped layouts..... i belive a lot of development/UI options are needed in terms of installation flexibility and compatibility to each airport....price seems a little on higher side...but there is no other VDGS product currently available for MSFS which can be installed on globsal basis...
