Passenger Bus and Baggage tractor and acft. door situation sensing

(1/2) > >>

Hello,

Most of the time when I request a deboarding / boarding all necessary equipment but the passenger bus and tractor of the baggage train does not appear anywhere around the airport, so the process suspends. The only way to get them work is resetting the position. But generally a single reset does not work and it needs to reset three or four times. It is not scenery dependent, happens in default, freeware and payware sceneries. Interestingly, both of them appear or disappear simultaneously.

Another minor thing is related with aircraft door position awareness. GSX does not sense the door situation (open or close) and assumes that all doors were closed at the start of the process and gives warnings to make me open a door which is already open and holds the process until I cycle the door. Of course I can start the session with all doors closed, but considering the sensing algorithm is already exist, i assume that this could be handled better in the software.

Both of them are minor issues which are not show stopper but I will be very glad if developers have a look at them. Regarding the success on the new gate customization functionality solving the AES interoperability issue very efficiently, I am sure that these will be just a piece of cake for them.

Best regards,
Suavi Akar

That doesn't happen here, and nobody else reported it before. Which airplane, airport and gate you used ?

That, instead, it's really impossible because, a "Reset position" will restart the *whole* Couatl.exe program and, from the point of view of GSX (which runs entirely inside it) it's exactly the same as restarting FSX so, it's not really possible that you would see a difference between resetting once or more than once.

Unless, your system is very slow, and restarting the program takes a while so, you *think* you have reset 3-4 times, but in fact it was just one reset all along.

It surely does, and it doesn't do what you are describing. The status is correctly read in any case, and it surely works. IF your airplane uses custom doors commands, and is not in the list of the supported one, there's no status at all to be read, GSX won't read it at all.

Again, which airplane you used ? Which other addons you have ? Perhaps they are interfering with the doors in some ways ?

Dear Umberto,

1. Aircraft is PMDG NGX 800, airport is default LOWW, gate G38. Others were some freewares most probably you won't have such as LTFJ, LTCG. I am quite sure that it is not scenery or gate specific.

2. My system is not the fastest around but it could deliver around steady 14+ fps on aerosoft sceneries at the gate with pmdg ngx all sliders at the recommended high positions in pmdg manuals except water details at low when UT2 traffic at 90%. It is a Q9550 with Windows 7 64 bit. Well tuned optimized and clean. Anyway I assume that everything is resetted when the ground equipment is spawn around again.  If this is not an indication of a successful process termination then you may be right.

3. My other addons are AS2012, UT2, Aerosoft sceneries and AES. By the way, as i wrote before gate customization works really perfect in AES environments.

A final note i remember a topic about not appearing service vehicles which you advised the position reset as the solution. That's why i didn't started this topic so far, and managed the situation by resetting. Only after i have noticed the corelation in the case and repeatebility i decided to report.

Thanks for your attention, Best regards,
Suavi

I really don't know what could cause this. Especially the doors status not correctly read (really, nobody ever reported this). About the slow restart, even on a fast system, if you have *many* scenery areas in the Scenery Library, a "Reset Position", which means a total Couatl restart, might take a bit more, because all scenery layers must be checked in case a new scenery was added since the last restart.

Thanks for the information. I will wait for a while before making any GSX request in the next run. There are more than 15 sceneries in my system. I don't know very well the internals of fsx, but regarding that i have only one disk drive and memory at least 75% utilized in fsx session, what you have pointed out could really be the reason.

Best regards,
Suavi
