Number of Passenger Boarding
« on: December 15, 2022, 03:52:53 am »
Hi ,

In GSX level 2 for P3D, when you request boarding GSX ask you how many passenger to be loaded.
IN GSX Pro for MSFS2020, when you request boarding GSX is automatically load 205 passenger for PDMG737-800.
Is there a setting where you can manually tell GSX how many passenger to be loaded?

Thank you.

Chris.

Quoting from the GSX Pro Manual, Page 15:

Quote
Passengers Number
GSX will estimate the number of passengers on board based on the weight of all stations in the [weight_and_balance] section of the aircraft.cfg of the airplane in use, divided by 220 lbs, an industry standard to calculate how much a single passenger + luggage weights, in average.

For a better precision 3rd party airplane developers can set a variable to communicate to GSX the passenger number they have setup in the plane or, even better
and new to this version, if you plan your flight with SimBrief, GSX can read the actual passenger number from your current dispatch on SimBrief

And at Page 27:

Estimate passengers number ( FSX/P3D only )

This option is only relevant to FSX/P3D. In MSFS, the default is to always Estimate the passengers number, because we added Simbrief integration, for a more realistic and precise set of the passenger number
