Manual entry of passenger number is skipped since last update

(1/2) > >>

Hey! Since the last update on Prepar3D, when "estimate passengers number" is unticked in the settings, GSX doesn't ask how many passengers should be boarded anymore, but instead just boards 20 passengers. I keep my version updated all the time, so the change must have occurred in the March 3rd or March 5th version, about 1-2 weeks or so ago everything was working fine and I was asked to enter the passenger number manually. I have "estimate passengers number" ticked off because it often gives me estimates that are completely off.
Any ideas? Do you need any logs or anything? The entry is always skipped now, no matter the plane or the airport.
Best wishes!

You don't say which airplane you use but, from you saying it always boards 20 passengers, it seems you are using FS Labs, because that's a value they initially set for the passengers number by default, before any actual payload is configured.

When GSX is under control of the airplane, which has set the passenger number on its own, the option to ask how many passengers you have is not displayed, since it's supposed the airplane already set it correctly, this is the correct behavior.

Aaaaah, thanks for the hint! :) It makes sense now. But I guess this is new somehow? I flew many times with entering the GSX passenger numbers manually, is there no setting to override that?

If you are using FS Labs, which integrates with GSX, the passenger number is entered in the FS Labs MCDU and sent to GSX.

Yeah, but it only works when I initiate boarding via the ATSU / AOC boarding procedure. When I set the payload directly via the OPTIONS page (which I was doing all the time), the pax number seems not to be sent to GSX and stays at 20.
