I got it to work, for some reason the variable for the main cargo door is `7X7Xmaincargodoor` not `NGXMainCargoDoor`.

Attached is an overall improved config with working cargo door.

Brilliant... All is good now... works flawlessly... Just a question, how did you manage to find out that the variable was `7X7Xmaincargodoor` and not `NGXMainCargoDoor`...

I use LINDA to set up my controllers and it has a "tracer" feature which also shows all variables. That is how I saw every active variable but I had to find a config for the 747-8F and see that that used the 7X7X variable (which was also present with the NGXu).

Just a little snooping around  ;)

Thanks and note the Boeing Converted Freighter and Badek Freighter have the cargo doors in different places

I have not looked at the BeDeck variant, I imaged you/someone else would make that at some point :)

Hello
I was able to put the cargo door and the stairs to the pilots door.
I would like to put the dollies for 11 cargo pallets to load.

At the front left exit, you need to leave the usual ramp, otherwise the pilots will climb into the cabin past the steps. With the usual ladder is normal.

I have added support for the built-in airstairs and made configs for all 737 cargo variants.

Please let me know if there are any issues (there shouldn't be though!).

There is nothing I can do about this. When an aircraft is marked as a cargo plane in GSX it will use this staircase which I'm guessing wasn't designed for the smaller 737.

That's right, this checkbox should be removed
