I use the Boeing 737-700 BBJ, and I want the amount of passengers at 30. How can I do this exactly that from the bus only 30 people enter the plane? Is that possible?
-
The relevant pages in the manual which clearly explain this are:
The paragraph named "Passengers Number" at Page 15, here's the key sentence:
if you plan your flight with SimBrief, GSX can read the actual passenger number from your current dispatch on SimBrief
The paragraph named "SimBrief data used by GSX" at Page 73
GSX will use data from SimBrief while Boarding/Deboarding passengers, to have the Passengers Number match the value indicated on SimBrief.
-
How can I ensure that these simbrief flight data are used? Do I have to use data from this field "Alias (Userame)" in GSX Configuration? (in my case: ehenkes)
What else? How does GSX get the data?

Wouldn't be better to just read the manual, which of course clearly explain exactly what you are asking here ? There's a whole chapter on Simbrief integration so, you are supposed to read it first and THEN, if you don't understand something, come up with a question.
-
Yes, it works! RTFM p. 73 really helps. The connection to Simbrief is shown by a green button "SimBrief OK" (at the end of the menu). Great!
Can I use other vehicles for passenger transport than this normal bus? We have a BBJ. :D

The Passengers Van has a max capacity of 17 passengers, anything more will call the Bus. It's clearly more realistic having a half-empty Bus, than trying to cramp 30 people in a Van.

If you use circus clowns as the passengers, then this would be acceptable. As a kid, I once saw about a dozen of them get out of a Volkswagen. It was quite entertaining.

Thank you very much for this information. Either I have to limit the number to 17, or GSX implements the choice for 2 vans (max. 34). The BBJ has 30 pax. 8)

@Umberto:
Do you remember my question some time ago about GSX sending 14 pax even if you set the number of pax in SimBrief to zero?
Did you trie to use a SimBrief flight plan with less than 15 (or 14) pax in the meantime? Can you reproduce the issue?

If Simbrief is not connected: The disconnection to Simbrief is shown by a red button "Reload Simbrief" (at the end of the menu). I have the feeling you cannot control it bei the FMC of the PMDG airplane.

I fail to see what's the connection between GSX Simbrief integration and the PMDG FMC.
Were you expecting GSX sending the Simbrief flight plan to the FMC ? Nowhere the manual says the GSX Simbrief integration is supposed to do that, which will a fairly complex feature with almost no benefit, considering the most popular airliners like the Fenix or the FBW A320 already have their own Simbrief integration, and PMDG will soon have its own EFB doing that.
-
Yes, this is right. It works great. Thus, Simbrief is the hub of the wheel. :D

Actually simbrief does send the flight plan to the pmdg fmc, once you completed the flight plan in sim brief and generate it it will sent the route to the folder of the flight plan of the pmdg. Than in the fmc you can select this flight plan and load it
-

Which makes my point all more valid: if you already have one method to do that, and soon another one with the upcoming PMDG EFB, it would be pointless to have GSX adding an additional way of doing the same thing.
-
Which data does GSX fetch from Simbrief? Only the number of passengers? This could be done easier.

If you read the manual, you would have found a chapter aptly named "Simbrief Integration" at Page 73, which explains in detail all the kind of data taken from Simbrief and used by GSX.
-
So many words for nothing.
OK, did I get it right? Number of passengers and extra fuel? (the fuel truck asks for entry of the main amount into the FMC)
I think that could be done more efficiently by GSX asking these two data.
-

Exactly: most of the many words you typed in this forum, were to ask things already clearly explained in the manual.
OK, did I get it right? Number of passengers and extra fuel?
It seems you missed the VGDS integration on that pge, which shows several informations about the flight on those VGDS that supports that ( those with enough lines of text ).
(the fuel truck asks for entry of the main amount into the FMC)
Now it seems you missed the sentence in that same page which says "(provided the airplane has the “Show MSFS “Fuel and Cargo”)", meaning it's not used when the GSX is NOT refueling the airplane.
I think that could be done more efficiently by GSX asking these two data.
I don't know what do you mean with this. GSX IS asking all this ( not just "two" ) data and it uses it.
But your question about refueling seems you now have missed the whole concept ( obviously explained in the manual as well ) on how different refueling works if the airplane has the "Show MSFS “Fuel and Cargo” option Enabled or not, which means GSX IS refueling the airplane or it's not because, as also explained in the manual, some 3rd party airplane have custom fuel system that CANNOT be controlled by GSX, making reading the fuel quantity from Simbrief useless in this case, since we wouldn't do anything with it, if the airplane is refueling itself.

"most of the many words you typed in this forum, were to ask things already clearly explained in the manual" <-- OK, I will read your manual. Maybe it is easier to work with "trial and error" than to read your often unclear explanations in this forum.
Visual Docking Guidance System <-- Yes, you are right. I have to look for places with this feature.
-

My explanations assume your read the manual, and I'm sure they will be very clear once you'll finally do that.

I just tested deboarding in (Innsbruck) LOWI with 15 passengers. SIMBRIEF Button was green, and the exact number of 15 passengers left the BBJ, and they got the same van type like the crew. Thank you GSX Pro! Great feature. :)
