GSX integration in V2
-
Can someone please confirm if my understanding that the integration does not extend to refueling is correct? That's how it seems from reading the manual. If so, is there any intention to add that? In the current release, refueling with GSX does fill the tanks progressively to the correct level.
-
The GSX integration with the 146 Professional V2 focuses on improved passenger boarding and cargo loading. We haven't made any changes to refuelling integration with GSX so that should still behave as it did with V1.
We have logged this on our internal feature request tracker for us to investigate for a future update.

Thanks Mark - it's purely that I guess people are now spoiled by the emerging concept of sims fully driving GSX so we don't really need to think of it as a thing. Sims are getting more and more awesome by the day - I started with Bruce Artwick's Flight Simulator on an Apple 2 with 48k ram and 4 colour wireframe gfx so today's experiences are mind-blowing :-)

I was very excited to see JF pushing in this direction with GSX integration in the 146 v2. The Fenix implementation of it is extremely amazing and I'd love to see JF go that extra bit further where essentially you're loading your OFP into GSX and pushing a button in the EFB/future clipboard and all the GSX boarding for fuel, bags, and pax happens in the background.

There you got me interested in GSX!
-
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.

@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.
