Hello,

i want to ask if it is possible to add a ASU ( Air Start Unit ) to provide bleed air in case of a APU failure?

Also if Chocks ( blocking the tires ) are possible?
I think passengers are talked as well here.

The tanker...can thea have a walking man with a hosepipe and a ledder under the wing?

But i have some suggestions about the Marshaller.
He must not ask the Pilot to release the brakes! He only informs the pilot that he is ready and have inserted the Pin.
Then he has to wait for the signal of the Pilot. The Pilot then turns on the red ACL and releases the brakes. Then the marshaller gets a signal from the pilot that the brakes are released. After that the marshaller gives the pushback a signal to start pushing.
Then the Marshaller informs the pilot that he can start the engines ( or not ).

Also the Marshaller has always to walk on this side of the plane that is between the Position and the plane.
I have a very easy picture added that better explains this. The Marshallers way is in Blue :-)

I wonder a bit about that because i send the compleete Marshal training to virtuali...

Thanks
Matthias

We don't try to add anything that result in *controlling* or acting in any way with the airplane. Which is why doors don't open automatically, for example. Also, the APU system is something that every 3rd party airplane does differently, and even if FSX provides support for it, default airplanes don't use it too. And, those 3rd party airplane that implement an APU system, usually provides with their own Air Start unit too.

That might be possible.

That's the most wished for issue, and we are so aware of it, that we even put a note on the manual about it, yet people keep asking for it...

Not the easiest think to do, since doing a parametric animation of the hosepipe that can connect to the proper place under the wings is *very* complex.

You must have a very old version of GSX, if you believe the Marshaller does that. He's not asking to release parking brakes since the 1.3 version which was released in March.

We'll have a look at this.

The Pushback changes made with March update were made MOSTLY following your suggestions so, it's me that now wonders why you haven't noticed it...

mroschk:
Hello,

i am sorry, but i did all the Live Updates and think i have the latest version.
In the Couatl.log i copied the first line:


--- Quote ---couatl v2.0 (build 2322)
log started on Mon Dec 10 09:17:21 2012

--- End quote ---

Where can i see the actual version number in the programm?
Here it seams i have the v2.0. The last??

In my sim the Pushback man is asking me to release the Parking brakes.(see the picture attached)

Thx
Matthias

That message is the one given at the parking, the one that has been removed is the one at the end of the pushback.

As I've said, many times already, we must balance realism with the need to inform users that dont know what to do if they are supposed to do something to "go ahead", otherwise they would believe the program is stuck waiting for something, without knowing what it is.

mroschk:
Hello,

hmm, i understand.

But that is such a big mistake.
I think if you put this rule in a tutorial every one can understand this.
