When I start boarding GSX just gives a random number of passengers. Is there a way to set the pax number for GSX during boarding?
The number of passengers it's not obviously "random" but, as explained on the GSX manual, it's taken from the actual airplane load, divided by 220 lbs, which is the industry standard estimate for a passenger+luggage weight.
It does not interact with the pax numbers that I set on the 2nd mcdu on the aerosoft airbus for example.
This has been discussed so many times on the forum, and it's related to the way the Aerosoft Airbus simulates loading so, you must be sure you call GSX after the final load weight has been set.
