Products Support > GSX Sharing area - Airplane Configs

Has anyone got a config for the Majestic Dash 8?

(1/2) > >>

J3Solo:
I just bought GSX and am very much impressed with it. However, I really want it to work (at least for a few items) with the Majestic Dash 8, Q400 and really do not understand what is needed.
 For now, if I could just use it for the Pushback process that would be great.
 Thanks in advance for any help.

GSX doesn't work entirely with the Q400, there are two issues left:

- Because of the custom flight model, the pushback doesn't work correctly: we added support in GSX to notify pushback already, it's now Majestic that need to update the airplane to get that notification and freeze their flight model while GSX is pushing.

- GSX doesn't support baggage/cargo loading from the left side: we are working on it right now.

Any progress with this Umberto?  Add my name to the list ... Majestic are unlikely or unwilling to make changes to their aircraft to support GSX ... I'm ok with no pushback (I think Majestic programmed their own push back process so not a big issue for me).  But would be nice to have left side baggage/cargo load.

Keep up the great work.

Too bad if Majestic won't try to accommodate GSX. It just encourages me to fly something that does allow GSX to operate.
Actually, even though the Dash 8 is a beauty, it seems to develop a bug every other flight or so. Maybe the fault is my PC but only the Dash 8 is a problem. Haven't completed any of the last three flights (different bug each time).
Hope you have better results
Regards to all

You must have missed many updates, the Majestic Q400 is officially supported by GSX, without any special configuration, since last June, see this message here:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=8785.0

And also our update history:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/couatl_liveupdate_notes.html

This support will make the Q400 works normally with all doors assigned and with cargo loaded on the correct side.

What's still missing is correct support for Pushback. There's nothing left to do on our side, since we added a special custom variable that will allow any developer to check if GSX is pushing, so they can eventually freeze their own flight model, and this has been explained to Majestic a long time ago so, I'm quite surprised they haven't updated it yet, considering it's a very simple check of an L: variable to be 0 or 1.
