Containers don't match airline

[Qantas747]

Hi,

As stated in the topic, my containers don't match the airline I'm flying. They only match the ground operator being used. Here is an aircraft.cfg entry:

I cannot reproduce the problem. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the ground operator is ATA, but the ULD containers are from Emirates, since I modified the relevant aircraft.cfg for the default A321 to match the codes you used

Hi Umberto,

I've been getting this for a while now, any suggestions to try fix the issue? Thanks

As I've said, I cannot reproduce it so, I can't tell you how to fix something that's not happening here.

Does the parking at the airport you are using has its own parking codes ? Does the same airplane show the correct container on an airport that doesn't have any parking codes ( default ones ) ?

Hi, I  have tried various scenarios by adding airline operator, in the parking code section, clearing the parking codes. But, still getting the ground handling company containers.

I don't know what to say, I edited the section of the aircraft.cfg using exactly your values, and it worked right away.

Okay, so I think I’ll result into a reinstall of GSX. Do you have a proper procedure of completely uninstalling GSX?

I don't think reinstalling GSX would change anything. The FSDT updater will update each and every file to the last version.

This started to happen with the latest update. It worked before and my airplane (FSLabs A320/321) is correctly configured: atc_parking_codes=DLH
I reinstalled GSX, ran the Live Update, but the problem remained. Maybe it has to do with the update.
I also tested with different airplanes, different locations. The logo on the pallet is alays random (from Swissport to Saudia and Qantas).

Also, strangely, the logo is incorrectly positioned on the AKH pallets that come out of the rear cargo only(!)

This is on P3D v5.2 HF1

You said you are using P3D 5 so, it's not possible it started to happen with the latest update and worked before since, before this update, ULD never had ANY livery, they were blank. Maybe you wanted to say they turned from no logo to random logo ? That's more likely, but it doesn't happen if you configure the codes correctly, as explained in other posts of this thread.

and my airplane (FSLabs A320/321) is correctly configured: atc_parking_codes=DLH

No, it's not. See my previous posts, the atc_parking_codes should match the codes used by GSX for a specific operator, not the parking codes that operator might be matched on parking spots. Those codes are the names of the sections in the rules_handling.cfg file in the Addon Manager\texture folder so, for example, the section for Lufthansa is:

[LH]
couatl.atc_parking_codes = DLH,DLHX,LHT,CLH,GEC
couatl.icaoprefixes = ED ET EDDK EDDS EDDB EDDN EDDH EDDM EDDC
couatl.basecolor = yellow

So your line in the aircraft.cfg should be:

atc_parking_codes=LH

LH matches the name of the [LH] section. Now, even if I'm not sure the simulator itself really uses your own airplane parking codes, IF you want to better conform to its standard, you can set it like this as well:

atc_parking_codes=LH,DLH

The first LH will make GSX choose the LH containers, while the second one might be used by the sim to assign you to a specific gate ( I'm not sure it does ).

I meant in P3D v4, you're right.

Thanks for the explantion. I'll try with LH instead of DLH
