GSX integration in V2
-
You shouldn't need to do anything. GSX should use the profiles that we've defined in the GSX.cfg files included in the 146 package \SimObjects\Airplanes\ folders before it checks those in the Virtuali folder. We included them in the documents folder as a backup.

The GSX integration is generally nice, but it is a bit of a problem that it always opens both doors and extend stairs. Not that great when you are docked with a jetway!
@Avionic Unfortunately we're not aware of a method of detecting whether GSX is using a jetway for boarding. All we're currently able to do is detect when GSX wants a specific door open and we respond to that, but we don't have the information required to know whether the stairs are required so have to assume that they are. You can retract them via the EFB though.

@Martyn May i suggest to put an option in the EFB for the user to select stairs or no stairs as default?
That way you can select beforehand if you want to avoid having to retract stairs (takes time and need hydraulics for retraction, so it is a bit annoying currently). -

Hi @Martyn,
I came to ask the same question about whether the GSX profiles need to be moved out of the documents folder.
GSX seems to be working correctly without any action on my part, however I can't seem to see GSX.cfg files in any of the Community\justflight-aircraft-146\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_146_XXX folders. Am I looking in the wrong place?
If I check the Customize Airplane menu in GSX itself, it says it's using the profile from its own internal database.

Ah, it looks like we forgot to include the GSX.cfg files in the aircraft folders in the latest installer. You can either copy them from the Documents folder to the aircraft folders in \SimObjects\Airplanes\ or use the virtuali folder method. GSX should look first in the aircraft folders within the 146 package, then the virtuali folder and then its own internal database.
We'll get the GSX.cfgs added back in to the aircraft folders for the next update.

I have the same, no gsx.cfg in the simobjects/airplanes/baexxx folders. I moved the gsx profiles from the docs folder to the virtuali airplanes folder in gsx, and all seems to work.

Clicking on "Stairs" when green does not stow them - at least not on the first flight I did yesterday.

Along the lines of GSX, I have also put the files into the virtuali folder but I seem to only get the rear baggage vehicle when loading or unloading.
What is curious is that before the update, I only used to get the front baggage vehicle.
I fly in VR so I am not sure if it is a VR thing.
Is everyone else getting both baggage vehicles? -

Is this perhaps something you can work with FSDT to get exposed?
