Many issues with 737-800BCF

PMDG 737-800BCF issues

1. Stairs do not spawn. Request boarding GSX removes attached PMDG stairs but is not spawning its own.

2. refueling truck asks to set fuel over and over after I set fuel it does not read it

3. right rear cargo door does not open on first loading/unloading. The main cargo door GSX will open again after the main and front right cargo are unloaded and doors closed.

I have no custom config for this plane. GSX is updated with latest version.

Works fine here. Of course, being a cargo airplane, you are only supposed to see a cargo-style stair, and only if you are not extended the airplane own airstair.

Works fine here. As discussed so many times, on the forum, on the manual, and with a video tutorial showing how refueling is performed on airplanes flagged with a custom fuel system, the GSX refueling won't start unless the fuel quantity you set with the airplane FMC is higher than the one you had when you called the refueling truck. It's probably best saving a startup state with a very low fuel quantity, so you won't be confused by this.

There's seems to be a problem in the PMDG SDK documentation: the event code for the main cargo is wrong, not sure if it's an error of the documentation or the airplane, but we'll fix this in the next update.

1. I found that when parked at a spot marked gate, the stairs spawn. When at a cargo ramp spot, no stairs.

2. I know how to load fuel with GSX through the FMC, it works 100% on a 737 pax plane. Something wrong with 737BCF

3. Thank you

It shouldn't be any difference, but I'll check again

This, instead, I checked before replying to you, and it works perfectly fine like the other variants.
