GSX & Simbrief: Can't read the aircraft type

Hi all!

I've been trying to get GSX and Simbrief intergration going, but had no luck. From GSX log, it just says

Checking the xml fetcher, it clearly says

In P3D, i'm in that plane. The Aircraft.cfg:

I've tried amending the aircraft.cfg with various options and settings and then i've restored it too. Nothing seems to work.

I've attached the log files and aircraft.cfg for ease. Any help would be massively appreciated, i just want fancy info on the VGDS and easy passenger / fuel integration etc  ;D

Thanks!

Okay, so quick update -

I made a custom gsx.cfg file, specifying the ICAO type as B738. This instantly worked and GSX loaded the simbrief flightplan with no issues. It then didn't ask me to select passenger numbers.

So i need to figure out what's missing from the aircraft.cfg. Fixed this by amending the aircraft.cfg to include the correct icao_model.

So last issue / point; which VGDS / Parking systems support simbrief info? I've tried T2S-24 and APIS - niether display anything. Maybe haven't triggered it right or not using the correct system so just need some guidance here.

Attached an updated log of me loading in, GSX loading the flightplan and then getting about half way through boarding. Would've assumed that the VGDS displayed something by now.

I can see if you have some errors in the VGDS, this is likely causing the panel not working, we'll check this.

Tyler K:
Hi Umberto,

Thanks. If it's any help, the VGDS does work otherwise - if i edit the parking system, it shows my aircraft type and if i come in to park, it correctly guides me in etc so they do work overall, just not with simbrief.

If you need any other logs or anything, do let me know.

Edit: @Umberto, which VGDS systems support simbrief integration? I'll give them all a try.

Kind Regards

virtuali:
The VGDS integration with Simbrief doesn't work in FSX or P3D, we need to port the improvement made for MSFS to the FSX/P3D version of the VGDS, it's something that has been planned for an update.
