My catering logo does not appear.
« on: June 08, 2012, 06:49:06 pm »
I created a logo for catering truck following the paint kit instructions.

After to load o FSX and request the catering, only the "Gate Gourmet" catering comes.

I only want that my logo appear in Brazilians airports, so I edited Sim.cfg line for: Icaoprefixes= ? SB.

Is it correct? Why my logo does not appear? ???

It should be:

couatl.icaoprefixes = SB

If you put the ? it means that vehicle repaint will have a chance to appear anywhere, which is not what you wanted, if you wanted it only in brazilian airports.

However, if you still can't see your repaint, check what airport you are in. If there are other repaints with an higher score for that airport, your vehicle will never "win" against them. For example, the "Gol" repaint that comes with GSX, has a score of 4 at SBSP, SBEG and SBCT, and the "Tam" repaint has a score of 4 at SBFL, which means you they will always win against your repaint in those airports. 

If you want to give your vehicle a chance to appear at, let's say, SBSP, you need to have both SB and SBSP listed, like this:

couatl.icaoprefixes = SB SBSP

This means your repaint will score 2 in any airport in brazil, and 4 at SBSP. When the score is a tie, the selection is random.

Virtuali,

I have a problem here.

I edited sim.cfg file like this:

[fltsim.0]
title=FSDT_catering_01_GGourm
model=01
texture=GGourmet
couatl.catering_man = FSDT_catering_man_generic_green
couatl.icaoprefixes = K (here I deleted ?)

[fltsim.1]
title=FSDT_catering_01_LSG
model=01
texture=LSG
couatl.catering_man = FSDT_catering_man_generic_blue
couatl.icaoprefixes = K (here I deleted ?)

[fltsim.2] (this is my logo)
title=FSDT_catering_01_Racat
model=01
texture=Racat
couatl.catering_man = FSDT_catering_man_generic_green
couatl.icaoprefixes = ? SB SBCF SBSP SBPA SBGR SBBH

But only GGourmet and LSG catering appear in these airports.

I only edited sim.cfg file of the FSDT_Catering folder and put there my texture.Racat folder.

What is happening? ???

I edited sim.cfg file like this:

First, you shouldn't edit a default GSX vehicle. The PaintKit documentation clearly advice you against this, and it installs a set of _USER vehicles, which are the ones that should be edited. If you edit a default GSX vehicle, it will be overwritten by our future updates, that's why we supply _USER vehicles.

Which Catering vehicle is your airplane calling ? As the PaintKit documentation clearly indicates (look the table at Page 1), there are 4 variations of the Catering vehicle, with some appearing depending on the airplane catering door's height, so you should make sure your repaint is available in all variations required.

Virtuali, thanks for you help.

Now, It´s working.

I put my Texture folder with my new logo in FSDT_Catering_USER folder and edited sim.cfg file of the FSDT_Catering_half_USER folder like this:

[fltsim.2]
title=FSDT_catering_EU_half_2axis_USER_Racat
model=EU_half_2axis
texture=Racat
couatl.catering_man = FSDT_catering_man_generic_half_lightblue
couatl.icaoprefixes = SB SBCF SBBH SBSP SBPA
couatl.condition = %(exitAlt)f >= 1.62 and %(exitAlt)f <= 3.40
couatl.maxHeight = 5.996

When I use 737-800, only half 2 axis truck catering appear.

In the texture.cfg file I put this:

[fltsim]
fallback.1=..\..\FSDT_Catering\texture
fallback.2=..\..\FSDT_Marshaller\texture.green
fallback.3=..\..\FSDT_Marshaller\texture.01
fallback.4=..\..\FSDT_Baggage_Loader\texture.01
fallback.5=..\..\FSDT_Catering_USER\texture.Racat
