Small bus when deboarding
« on: December 26, 2023, 03:27:31 pm »
Hello mates,

I have a problem, when deboarding any aircraft (PMDG 737/Fenix A320) and using stairs for deboarding with bus - at first the classic big bus for 90 passengers will come, but all after its only the small bus (the same as for crew) and it turns around 5-6 times to deboard all passengers. It happens at all airports when using stairs and moving passengers by bus.

Do you have any advice, what could be wrong, please? :)

Happy Holidays!

Screenshot just to clarify that it looks like GSX has the correct amount of passengers inside aircraft.

I updated to 2.9.0 yesterday. However today, the same problem when landing in EDDN Gate 2 with the FBW A320 neo. Deboarding 174 passengers . First large bus with 90 and then these van buses (17pax) 5 times.

Ideally, 2 large buses should come.

I think the small van buses should only be used for crews and for very small machines.

I can only confirm the problem is fixed in 2.9.0, and it could only happen with the PMDG 737, because it was caused by the fact that GSX, at the end of the Deboarding, set the airplane empty but, before the fix, instead of setting it at the very end of Deboarding (after the last Bus), it was emptying the payload after the first trip.

No other airplane runs this code, which is part of the custom PMDG integration.

Fact you saw it with the FBW A320, seems to indicate that, for some reason, the payload went low after the first trip, but I assure you it wasn't GSX so, maybe it's something in the FBW GSX integration that is doing something like what GSX used to do with the PMDG before the fix: emptying the airplane after the first deboarding cycle completes, without taking into account there might be other trips.

Yes, that's exactly how it is, in the FBW EFB I activated the option for GSX integration for payload and fuel.
https://docs.flybywiresim.com/fbw-a32nx/feature-guides/gsxintegration/

 After the first bus, the EFB shows that there is no passenger on board. But But the deboarding continues until all 174 have left.

So that's something for FBW to fix, it seems something like what happened with PMDG, emptying the airplane too early, instead of waiting for the last passengers that would come after the first bus.

I wrote in the FBW Discord and here you can see the answers in the conversation in the next post. The problems seem to be from GSX and the documentation doesn't seem to be correct. In September it works fine.
