Aircraft configuration?

Hello and Happy 2013!

I am a biggest fan of FSX! I especially love Fsdreamteam! Best products ever!

Only there's a slight problem and I spent many hours in trying to find forum about aircraft configuration and park at the gate.

1) I saw their demo that there are 2 cargo services but why am I only have one cargo? Am I missing something? Attached of a photo of a 757 with one cargo in service and is a little further outside its door. Is there any way I can configure it?

2) When parking at the gate, I use "Locked spot" outside to follow yellow strip precious but why do I always get bad parking from marshaller? Does it have anything to do with view settings? I un-installed GSX and re-installed but to no avail.

Hope you can be of assisting me on that?

Respectfully,

Darrell

If the airplane is not one of the internally supported ones, you need to create a configuration file for it, using the GSX aircraft configuration editor, place doors correctly and assign their variables.

The view shouldn't make any difference, you just have to park better.

And, GSX doesn't know anything about the scenery yellow lines, unless the scenery is pure AFCAD (with markings made using default graphics). If the scenery has custom markings, is not certain the AFCAD matches the markings, it depends how accurate the scenery developer was so, you believe you are doing right by following the lines, but if the apron path in the AFCAD is not accurate to the scenery, GSX will give you a bad score, because the AFCAD is the only thing it can see.

Dear Virtuali.

I vastly thank you for a quick response. You're the best!

Understood about the parking thing. Boy I gotta practice more!  ;D

About the cargo thing, my understanding is should I copy all info from aircraft.cfg and paste onto gsx.cfg in order to have all services precious?

Many thanks again!  :)

Not at all. GSX ALREADY uses whatever information is available in the aircraft.cfg, in case there's no GSX.CFG for an unknown airplane, but that's not nearly precise enough for its use, while it's better than nothing.

As I've said, you need to use the GSX Aircraft configuration editor, which is included in GSX and it's entirely graphical, no text file to edit, just position your doors visually inside FSX. Reading the manual is strongly suggested, because everything it's explained there, of course...

Good day Virtuali.

I read GSX's manual carefully (please understand that English is not my nature language). I found aircraft's editor inside FS game. I checked 757's aircraft configuration, it looks like this:

[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.1 , 30.000 , -3.500 , 3.600 , 0 //openclose rate
percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical
positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo
2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.1 , -28.000 , 4.500 , -2.000 , 1 //openclose
rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical
positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo
2=Emergency)

I can't find where I can copy and paste numbers for the second cargo. I am so frustrated. Hope you can be of helping me on this?

I cherish GSX deeply!
