GSX + FBW A380 - Cargo loading
« on: November 02, 2024, 11:26:32 pm »
Hello

The cargo is always loaded with a belt, even if belt is not allowed in the aircraft cionfiguration menu in GSX. Others having the same behaviour ?

Thanks

I can see the correct loaders here, using the airplane profile supplied by FBW.

Hi Umberto

Indeed I have been able to have cargo loaders at another gate in another airport.

My problem is at Gate A 5 in WSSS, using a GSX conf downloaded from flightsim.to and modified to allow 80m wingspan at that gate.

Airport config file for that gate says:
Pushback: AnyType
Front Bagage Loader: Conveyor Belt
Rear Bagage Loader: Conveyor Belt

Aircraft (A380FBW) config file (the one provided with the plane ) says:
Cargo 1: ULD codes AAF AAP AKE ALF ALP AMPPLA PMC QKE - Belt is NOT selected and Auto is NOT ticked
Cargo 2: ULD codes AAF AAP AKE ALF ALP AMPPLA PMC QKE - Belt is NOT selected and Auto is NOT ticked

As per the rules in the manual, because Auto is not selected, then it should be the aircraft rules taking over, and therefore teh belt shoud NEVER be the option displayed.

Am I missing something ?

I know about the belt being default when cargo door is too low but since you have cargo loader at other gates that should not be the issue.

Thanks

PS when you go for each cargo door in the aircraft config menu, the first time the list of ULDs appears one time, the second time this list is twice longer with each option appearing twice, the third time the list is thrice longer etc...

Disable the AUTO checkmark, it doesn't do what the manual says, the airport profile in fact has the highest priority, so you need to change it there as well. A gate set with Belt only, doesn't seem to be a good choice for an A380, strange it would be set like that on an heavy gate.

Sorry, I was probably not clear in my message - the AUTO is disabled, so I don't get it. Your recommandation is to change the airport configuration ? Thanks

Yes, that what gets the highest priority vs the airplane profile.
