MD-11F left cargo door
« on: June 28, 2013, 10:26:49 am »
I am trying to place a left forward cargo door on the MD-11F.
Positioning works fine, but GSX will not recognize this door as cargo, so its still used as pax.

I have used a separate gsx.cfg file in the MD-11F root folder.

Is this door conversion at all possible?

That's because you moved a passenger door instead of a cargo door.

As already explained in the other thread about left cargo doors, GSX will still handle 2 cargo doors IN TOTAL. You can't have 2 cargo doors on the right and 1 on the left, so you must move one of the existing cargo doors from the right to the left, and rotate it to have the arrow pointing outside.

Umberto:

For future development, could you add a third cargo door configuration (so that there would be 3 in TOTAL for the AC) for the main deck, so a freighter such as Tom Ruth's A300-600F, which has a large door on the left side of the fuselage, could accept a large platform loader?

Thanks

Already asked and already answered in the past: it's not the easiest thing to do, but we'll keep it in the list of possible enhancements.
