Problem with GSX.cfg

[Plexi1]

I am really sorry to bother you again but now I have another problem.

I am now trying to add GSX.cfg files to some more planes but I can not add two cargo vehicles, only one appears and I don´t know why. The default A321 , the 747 and the default B737 have two vehicles (on the same parking spot) but I believe they are fully supported by GSX anyway.

It is also not possible to add more stairs on some planes (the Project Opensky 737 for eample, I can only get one stair there).

Also the entries in the aircraft.cfg seem to have an influence on how GSX handles the exits/cargo doors, for example when I remove the entry for the cargo door from the aircraft.cfg and add an entry for it to the GSX.cfg I won´t get any cargo vehicle.

What am I doing wrong ?

here is my gsx.cfg for the Project Airbus A320 for example

Code: [Select]

[exit1]
pos = -1.9 11.5 -0.1 0
code = 1
name = Front Pax Door

[exit2]
remove = 1

[exit3]
remove = 1

[exit4]
pos = -1.8 -13.1 0.3 -8
code = 3
name = Rear Pax Door

[service1]
flip = 1
name = Front Catering Door

[service2]
flip = 4
name = Rear Catering Door

[cargo1]
pos = 1.2 8.3 -1.4 0
code = 2
name = Front Cargo Door
uldcode = ""

[cargo2]
pos = 1.3 -8.3 -1.5 0
code = 2
name = Rear Cargo Door
uldcode = ""
If you are wondering about the door heights, I know that it should be the height from the ground but for me, it really works this way, when I set the height to 0, the stairs attach at the middle of the door and when I set it to 3 for example, the stair is above the door, which is way too high, so I believe, the Z coordinate is not from the ground but from the center of the plane.

I think this is the problem which affect the vehicle selection, because vehicles have conditions depending on the door's height, and with heights that low, most of them will be rejected.

I can confirm the Z parameter IS from the ground level, but it seems this particular airplane has an unusual offset. Is a model ported from FS9 maybe ?

[Plexi1]

no, it is a true FSX model and as I said, the planes from Project Opensky have the same problems (they are FSX models also)

On the PA Airbus, only the cargo/belt loaders are affected, I can only use one, the second one does not show up. On the POSKY 737 it affects the stairs and the cargo/belt loaders, only one of each works.

I'm sorry, but something is clearly strange on that model.

I've asked this question several times on the forum before, but nobody seemed to be able to reply in a definite way: is there an installer for the Project Airbus that I can just run and have the full airplane working, without having to reconstruct the airplane taking a panel from a download, the model from another one, the livery from another one ?

[Plexi1]

no there is none as far as I know and there are even different aircraft.cfg for those.

I saw in another post that the coordinates are dependant on the reference datum and cg_height, the one I have has its reference point at 0,0,0 and static_cg_height is 11.60

This is how it looks with the above GSX.cfg and as you can see, the rear loader is missing but the bagagge truck is there although the amount of bagagges does not change but it holds three times as if there was a loader and then drives away.

I'm sorry, but I can't really explain, other than there's something unusual with that model, never had any issues with all the dozen of 3rd party airplanes we configured for the default airplane database that comes with GSX.

Can you post the aircraft.cfg you are using at least ?

[Plexi1]

sure, here you go, I have left out the entries for the repaints and the cameras

Please, attach the file, not post it, I was trying to understand if there was something like extra characters or so, so I need to be sure it's not altered a single bit from the file you have on your system, and the forum software might do that if you copy&paste, but attaching it's safe. ZIP the file first.

sorry, I misundertood you, here you go and as I said, I left out the repaints and cameras

maybe it would help if I knew how GSX exactly works but I guess this is your secret to keep
