Carenado PC-12 - unloading baggage possible?

[virtuali]

Are these global settings or per aircraft? If per aircraft I might increase them.

They are Global, otherwise they would have appeared in the airplane configuration page. It might be better to increase the minimum time instead, so the boarding time won't become too long with large airliners.

Thanks Umberto. I'll do that.

I’m sorry to come back to you Umberto but there’s something wrong with the sequence of events after requesting boarding.

After making the selection in GSX the baggage vehicle arrives and I’m instructed to open the baggage door. I do that but within a few seconds the vehicle drives off. Less than 5 secs when I have set 40 as the minimum time.

Soon after, the pax vehicle arrives and I’m instructed to open the pax door. I do that and after around 30 secs or so the vehicle departs. That does seem in line with the time I’ve set of 40.

I then bring up the GSX menu and it says pax loading completed, loading baggage continues. But the baggage vehicle has been and gone.

I’m unable to request pushback unless I reset GSX as it’s stuck in loading baggage. I know when I use Concorde there are two instructions to open the cargo door and operations do complete successfully. Sadly something isn’t quite right with small GA aircraft.

Hi Umberto,

I've updated to the latest version and can now complete deboarding, thanks. I still don't see anyone actually remove any baggage from the PC12 but perhaps the payload figures are too low. The GSX message advises 2/6 pax deboarded and a short time later 6/6.

Regarding boarding the pax vehicle turns up and after a short while GSX advises 6/6 pax now boarded. Then a baggage vehicle arrives and after a few seconds drives off. There is no message to open the Baggage door. Two minutes later and Baggage loading in progress is still being displayed in the GSX menu.

This is the gsx.cfg for the PC12...
