Help with PMDG 747-400F and 747-8F

[keithgiannoni]

Hi all,

In these difficult times I treated myself to the PMD 747/747-8. Quick help, please. With GSX on both version of  Freighters I have no front stairs for the aircrew (both). In the 747-8 I have baggage loaders collecting bags from the cargo hold. What do I do to change to have stairs and pallets, please?

Stay safe,

Keith

It seems you customized the airplane and made some kind of error, since the default configuration that comes with GSX, surely configures the -F models to use Pallets. Use the "Reset" button in the airplane configuration page, to reset to the default configuration that comes with GSX.

Hi Umberto,

Thanks for swift response. I initially tried this, to no avail. I was parked at LIPZ (RFSB scenery) Cargo Gate 103. When I checked the airport set up for this gate it showed conveyor belt on both front and back. I changed this to cargo loader and all good. I still cannot get stairs, however, to the front door for the aircrew.

Best,

Keith

Does the airplane configuration page says "GSX internal data" ?

[keithgiannoni]

Hi,

Yes, twice, Aircraft data available from Internal GSX database and Aircraft data used by GSX Internal GSX database.

Have been playing about with this. If the Freighter is parked at a Heavy gate (not Cargo) as Type in the GSX Airport customisation, then all doors and freight work perfectly. It seems where a gate is marked as Cargo, no steps come out to the Freighter.

Best,

Keith

Further to my last, this seems something I have found so far only with UK Scenery 2000 EGSS and LIPZ as mentioned. I tested a number of other payware sceneries with no problems at listed Cargo Gates. I doubt it is a GSX issue.
