Hello Cartayna,
from what I understood from a separate forum post from Umberto the parking / Jetway redone- positions setup with GSX2 will not be available for any AI and therefore no jetway will dock to any AI traffic, as no AI traffic will even dare to use them.
Am I correct that in consequence the airports you have worked on and marked "FULL" in the download directory you are offering will not faciliate parking for any AI traffic / no jetway will dock to AI traffic in consquence?
Tks for clarification,
Andreas
Hello Andreasmb,
Well this is the trickiest part of the gsxlevel2 tutorial, and this has to do with the fact that the starting or "parking" position of the plane draws it from the AFCAD position. That is the position of the plane when you "GO TO" a specific parking position with the sim. That will place as you will probably now by now in a not so correct place that if the airport has its own docking system, you will see that the plane is "TOO FAR" or so.. Thus there are 2 postions that you have to make sure that the jetways have to be tested. The parking and the Stop. Now the only way this 2 postions would be the same is if you over impose a docking system of gsx2 on top of the default scenery one. The gsx2 docking system will consider the stop perfect parking position wherever you place the STOP postion in the GSX2, while the default does not. This kind of complicated to explain by text and as i mention yesterday to Swordfish, i am redoing chapter 3 of the tutorial as to explain this better. Also i have redone all of the FULL (almost all, by these afternoon they will all be redone with the chpt3 of tutorial) as to explain this issue. What i did in the first version of FULL I took the approach of making stop and parking the same position which kind of ends ignoring the docking device ending position.. and that is not good. I tried to have this explained before the ordeal of making all this sceneries of the tutorial and i could not find what you did, thus had to learn it the wrong way. Hope the tutorial cpt3 clarifies this. Once all is updated and changed i am going to post a note on the forum and asking to overwrite the previous Full configs that you have from me.
Sorry about this, but i could not find anywhere a good explanation about this 2 parking postions... and trust me when i tell you that i have read the whole manual.
Now all this would be much easier for us if there was an option in the gsx menu that would warp the plane to the stop position once you enter the GOTO position.. then, we will all be looking at 1 parking postion.. i have suggested it, but got no response.
The other option of the 3 possible as i mention is to replace tge original docking device (by covering the original) with a GSX2 ... this is takes a lot of time per parking position.. but in EBBR, that has "fake" ones, i have done it... now this airport can have the same goto parking (from the AFCAD) position and the ending from our new docking device that reacts to our set STOP position.
Cheers
