Has anyone got a config for the Majestic Dash 8?

<< < (2/2)

WilliamJSS:
Sorry, as I know this is old, but is there any way that the consumer can change that variable? Or is it only accessible by the addon maker? If it is that simple, I have no issue trying to go ahead and change that value myself.

Thanks! And still loving GSX!

You don't understand: the variable doesn't need to be changed, it's correctly set to 1 when GSX is pushing, and correctly set to 0 when pushback ends, but it's Majestic developers that must read it in their own code, to momentarily stop updating their flight model when GSX is pushing, there's nothing we or you can do, it's Majestic that should update their code to support this.

 I got this Pushback/Start Engines info on another forum and it works perfectly:
Have all preps complete up to SELECT/START
When you get the "pushback complete/set brakes..." message then hit SELECT/START
Check the panel gauge to see that the selected engine is turning and if it is THEN set the parking brakes and continue the start sequence.
I tried to start during pushback but it will not until pushback is complete.
Note: If I wait until brakes are set and lock pins are removed the engines will never start.

Note there are two issues to be aware using GSX + Majestic: one is the startup engine issue, the other is the flight model that doesn't react to freezing like a default flight model does during pushback, and the GSX variable we added for make it easier for Majestic to play nice with GSX, deals only with the pushback issue.

Well, as much as I like the Dash 8 it still will surprise me with some crazy maneuver.
Last flight: GSX loaded, pushback wen fine, engines cranked up. THEN the instant I pushed throttles forward the plane hopped into the air, did a couple of rolls, flew sideways, etc. Spoiled a lot of preparation so I'm back to PMDG JS 41.
These crazy things happen with or without GSX so it is THEIR problem.
No flame intended.....just want to show my support for GSX.
