Remote De-Icing

[oskar11]

Hi,
according FsDreamTeam GSX Pro - Ground Services for MSFS - page 26 it is possible using remote De-icing pads. But I can not found how to create this De-icing positions shown in the desciption on the following pages?
And thank you for that feature it is wonderful!!!

Can you please help me!

Thank you

If you look at the change log, it says editing custom de-ice pads will come later. Though if you open up the GSX profile for LSZH you can see how it's coded so it might be possible do create them with a bit more effort.

Yes thank you. On Flightsim.to I saw already INI file for LOWW and I thought it is already possible to create one …
So I have to wait for the update!

Hi,

you can add the stands to your profile, its currently a bit tricky cause there is no editor yet but its possible.

Before you are doing this steps, make a BACKUP of your ini file!

• Select a Stand which is already configured and possibly near to the remote DEICING stands
• Open the GSX Menu
• Select "Customize Airport Position"
• Make sure the Parking Stand where you are is selected in the List
• Click "Customize parking"
• Move the parking position to the DEICING Stand
• Save it
• Open the ini File with Editor or Notepad++
• Search for the Parking Stand which you have edit now
• Search for the entry "this_parking_pos" and take the first 2 numbers.
  eg.: this_parking_pos = 48.1181113293618 16.5650484262171 26.1273630523682
• Take this entry and add it to the deice_areas entry.
  deice_areas = [(xxxx, xxxx, 25, 20, "NAME OF STAND","VgdsDeIceWall"),(xxxxx, xxxxx, 25, 20, "NAME OF STAND","VgdsDeIceWall")]
  25 is I guess the direction in which the Stand is. I have not find out if this is heading or not. You need to play a bit with it until the position is like you want to have it
• Save it
• Replace  this_parking_pos of the stand you have edited with the correct numbers from your backup
• Save it

Thats how I did it with the LOWW profile

Cheers

Thank you I will try it for EDDP 😉

deice_areas = [(xxxx, xxxx, 25, 20, "NAME OF STAND","VgdsDeIceWall"),(xxxxx, xxxxx, 25, 20, "NAME OF STAND","VgdsDeIceWall")]

25 is I guess the direction in which the Stand is. I have not find out if this is heading or not. You need to play a bit with it until the position is like you want to have it

Yes, first number is the heading, second is the deicing area radius, which like a parking, will decide if the area is too small for the aircraft. This is to simulate situations like KORD, where you have in the same general area some stands for normal airplanes, and other dedicated to widebodies.

Hi Umberto,
when can we expect the extension for the editor to create the remote deicing pads?

Thank you

Tried to adjust my EBBR profile but it crashes, instructions clear only get the parking stuff not the general deice area

Your forgot to separate lat and lon with a comma.

Note that you need to have a comma between the two coordinates which yours is missing.
The instructions have the comma between the "xxxx, xxxx".

Try this:

Code: [Select]

deice_areas = [(50.8977709849706, 4.49101209958418, 150, 20, "Rwy 19/01-W21","VgdsDeIceWall"),(50.8977709849706, 4.49101209958418, 150, 20, "Rwy 19/01-W22","VgdsDeIceWall")]
Edit: Nevermind, did not refresh and didn't see Umbertos reply.
