Editing Sim.cfg conditions

(1/3) > >>

QFA1213:
Hi Umberto,
Hope you have been well.

Prior to the release of the PBR update, I had tweaked the conditions in the sim.cfg of many vehicles to get the desired ones to always show. This worked without issues until that update which also changed to the render to texture method for logos. Since then, any changes I've made to the condition lines are seemingly ignored which I assumed was intended behaviour. I noticed the other day that you advised a user to edit conditions to force the use of the CDS stairs on the narrow bodies (http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,22873.0.html) which suggests I should still be able to do this.

I have followed the suggested conditions from reply 9. In my sim, both the default and edited lines provide the exact same stairs (CDS front and TLD rear on the NGXu - See below for details).

Testing Scenario
PMDG NGXu
Stock GSX (Reinstalled and cleared appdata)
Default WIII Parking 6

Outcome:
CDS front and TLD rear regardless condition set (Occasionally CDS appears at both front and back but after restarting Couatl a few times goes back to TLD).

One of the reasons I believe the line is completely ignored is even setting impossible criteria on the two TLD stairs. e.g. (condition = ( %(exitAlt)f <= 0.00 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )) results in the stairs appearing at the rear on the NGXu as described above.

Thanks
Brendan

Nothing in the PBR update has changed this, conditions still works exactly as they were.

Of course you are.

Are you sure you are editing the correct files ? Please clarify, exactly, what you want to achieve, which stairs you want to see and which you don't, on what airplane types.

QFA1213:
For now just aiming for exactly as detailed on the other thread. Attempting to get CDS only for 737/A320 and TLD for widebodies.

CDS
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 1.80 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 3.90 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

TLD_ABS-580
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 3.90 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f <= 5.38 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

TLD_ABS-1740
condition = ( %(exitAlt)f >= 3.90 ) and ( %(exitAlt)f < 6.40 ) and ( %(isCargo)f == False ) and ( %(isCargoStand)f == False )

Outcome with details listed in first post (NGXu + Stock GSX with no customisation):

In your screenshot, I see a 737 with CDS staircase so, at least your first goal has been reached. You haven't posted any results for an airplane with a door higher than 3.90 meters from ground, so it's difficult to say if even your second goal has been achieved as well.

QFA1213:
Sorry I should have used a better angle. The front were CDS however the rear were TLD. This is also what I get without editing the conditions.
