PMDG 738 - GSX spawn front stairs with embedded stairs

[ezman1980]

Hello
when using GSX on A/c with Embedded stairs (also checked in the a/c CFG) , GSX spawn any way  the front stairs
Am i missing something?

Thanks

you have to remove the PMDG stairs before you start GSX via your FMC mate

i am not sure you understand

There is no PMDG stairs or air stairs in the image

the GSX Spawn his stairs although embedded stairs is checked in the  Gsx setup

Try extending the air-stairs before calling GSX to board

It Work's only on departure when arriving front stairs will be spawn anyway

On arrival, GSX has already spawned its own stairs, since it couldn't possibly know if you will extend the airstairs, the only way to solve this is, if an airplane has an an embedded airstair, GSX should ask if you are going to use it as soon as you select the gate, before it decides which vehicles should create at the gate. Considering you could select a gate even before landing, that question should be made at that time too.

But if we checked the Embedded stairs in a/c GSX cfg it doesn't suppose to prevent the  spawn the GSX stairs? this is how it works on P3D Ver anyway an other option will be nice that will prevent the spawn

No, it never worked like that in P3D, nothing has changed, if the airstair has a condition ( the XML expression ), it means it's optional, it's only used depending on that condition, so you can choose to use it or not. But without a question before selecting a gate, the real choice is only on Departure, provided you extended the stairs before you open the GSX at the gate.

If there's no condition, it means it will always be used, that's the case with planes like the CRJ, where the embedded stairs have no condition, means they will always be used.

BTW made a test : on gate if i Uncheck then check the Emended option in the CFG and save it i will not spawn the stairs
if don't do nothing gsx stairs gonna be spawn, in both cases PMDG airstairs wasn't open

But that's only because there's currently a bug in the airplane config editor at large that, if you don't change "something" in the 2D, the actual configuration you are editing won't be loaded correctly.
