Airstairs

[JORDANF93]

Hi

Are these the only type of airstairs that are now available in GSX? Is there a way to get the old ones back?

Thanks

No, there isn't. What do you mean with "old" type ? There are several models available, and they are selected depending on the airplane door's height.

I want to use these airstairs: FSDT_Staircase_CDS_2438

What values do I need to put in the condition line?

The a/c door height according to GSX is 3.29.
Thanks

The a/c door height according to GSX is 3.29.

This line:

condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 1.80 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 2.7 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

should become like this:

condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 1.80 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 3.4 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

I have set these as the condition but the other stairs are still showing. Do I need to edit those too?

Yes, if you want to PREVENT the other stairs to appear in the altitude range of that one.

Hi I have just updated GSX and edited the lines as follows:

FSDT_Staircase_CDS_2438
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 1.80 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 3.4 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-580
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f == False ) and ( %(exitAlt)f == False ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-1740
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f == False ) and ( %(exitAlt)f == False ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

The PMDG737NGXU and Aerosoft A321 uses the CDS2438 stairs. What setting do I need to set in order to get the QW757 to work with the CDS2438 stairs or do I need to set a condition for the TLD stairs? The QW757 height is 3.95m.

Thanks

Both conditions for the TLD stairs are wrong, you set a "False", which doesn't make any sense in this context, since that's supposed to be a numeric value. This way, you caused the condition to be discarded, so those vehicles would never appear now.

It's not clear what you are would like to do with the TLD stairs: should they appear with the larger airplanes, or it would be ok for you to see them on 737/A320 ?

[JORDANF93]

The TLD stairs I wish to use with larger aircraft ie 757 and A330. The CDS stairs I only want to use with the 737/A320.

You mean "exclusively", so you *always* want the TLD stairs on larger airplanes, and you *always* want the CDS stairs on the smaller ones ? If yes, considering the A320 door is about 3.8 from ground and the 737 is lower, you might set-up a "cutoff" point at 3.90, like this:

FSDT_Staircase_CDS_2438
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 1.80 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 3.90 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-580
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 3.90 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 5.38 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

FSDT_Staircase_TLD_ABS-1740
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 3.90 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f < 6.40 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )
