New Aerosoft Airbus 320/321

[Quoth]

Hi All

Just installed the new Aerosoft 321/320. Parked at a gate at UK2000 EGLL and requested catering services and got a message that catering services aren't available for this aircraft.

Is there anything I need to configure to get this to work? Had no problems with the previous Airbus version.

Many thanks for any help

As seen below, I haven't had any problems with catering (other than getting trucks from two different companies at the same aircraft). I didn't do anything special. This is how it looked the first time I tried it.

Umm strange. Thanks for the reply. I seem to have the problem with the a320 and not the a321.

I think computers just hate me 😊

No problem with the A320 here either.  Be nice to your computer or this might happen.

Be sure you apply the current Live Update, because it seems that Aerosoft changed the name of the airplane folder from "Aerosoft Airbus X A32***" to "Aerosoft Airbus A32***", dropping the "X" from the folder name at a certain stage, so that would result in the airplane not being recognized.

It's fixed now in the latest update, so GSX will recognize both name variants. This also applies to the "Wheelchocks as parking brakes"  issue, that stop GSX from complaining when the paring brake is automatically disengaged when chocks are set.

Thanks Umberto, I was wondering about the parking brake thing....

As I said it's probably something I've inadvertently done because the A321 is recognised ok but not the A320, I'll do the live update thing and hopefully that'll resolve the problem.

Out of interest are there any upgrade developments planned for GSX?

Thanks Stu 😀

Just checked under my desk.....

I applied the live update both internally & externally to FSX, but I still get the Parking Brake needs to be applied message.  Is there anything else I need to do?  I did remove any customization files to ensure that wasn't the issue.

Thanks,

The Live Update should have fixed this, this is for sure. However, I haven't tried it, because my Airbus installation is older (it's coming from a DVD and it's probably outdated), so I still have the names with "Aerosoft Airbus X". I got the updated folder names from one of the Airbus developers.

What's the name of the airplane folder inside the Simobjects folder ?

[canprince]

Hello,

The file names inside the SimObjects folder would be as follows:

..\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A320 CFM
..\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A320 IAE
..\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A321 CFM
..\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A321 IAE
..\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Airbus A320_A321 Base

Should you require any other information, please let me know!

Regards,
Miro

I am having the same problem as Quoth (Alan), and I have already downloaded the update and the problem that Quoth (Alan) is has still exist on mine, any solutions Umberto? Thank you, & Cheers!

Hi Andre

I think I solved my problem by resetting to default settings in the airplane configurator.

Now the catering trucks turn up 😊

But I am still having the parking brake problem, was waiting for Umberto to answer the post above yours.

What did you do Alan, if you don't mind sharing what you did to correct the problem?

What did you do Alan, if you don't mind sharing what you did to correct the problem?  How do you reset airplane configurator, and where do I find it to reset it?

Hi Andre

I'm presuming you mean the no catering truck problem?
What I did is once in FSX with the aircraft that's causing the problem loaded, go to couatl powered products, then GSX -customise aircraft. There I just pressed reset and that seemed to cure the problem because when I requested catering service they appeared.

Haven't totally tested to see if it's fully sorted the problem but so far..... 😊

Hope that helps
