Suggestion for GSX
mroschk:
Hello,
i have a Idea for a future Version of GSX.
We can load the Plain with Fuel, but it is ( for me ) the best solution.
Also the Passengers will be load, but the AC Weight does not Change.
At the Moment i use for that Topcat ( http://www.flightsimsoft.com ).
It works by FSUIPC and loads the Fuel and also the Pax and Baggage into the plane without
stopping the Flightsim.
Now my Suggestion is to have a LoadDialog like from iFLY or PMDG.
A Dialog where we can see the Plane seats and alo the configurated cargo compartments.
Now we can select how many Pax and Cargo should be loaded.
The we press a "load" button and then starts the normal procedure as it is now. The Pax will be loaded, the cargo, baggages and also the fuel.
All can be done by FSUIPC like Topcat does.
It can also work together with Topcat. I have a Connection to the developer of PFPX and Topcat to manage this.
( A idea for that is Topcat calculates where in the compartmenets the Pax, Baggage/Cargo/Fuel to load and GSX loads it )
I can explain it more, but at the Moment i want to know if the Dev Team is open for this Suggestion?
Thanks
Matthias

I didn't noticed this post, sorry.
What you are proposing is, if I understand correctly, is some kind of weight loader for airplanes that don't come with their own ?
What's wrong with the default loader page from FSX ? This is usually what you are supposed to use, if an airplane doesn't come with its own, and you can change both the Fuel AND the cargo load and the airplane weight and balance WILL change.
And, if you want to have more options, couldn't just use that Topcat program ?
GSX DOES read the actual weight of all stations, regardless how which method you used to set it. Either you used the default loader, or some airplane-specific one (like the one from PMDG) or some external method such as the Topcat program, as long as those method affect the airplane station load weight, GSX WILL read it from Simconnect, and will estimate the number of passengers from that.
It might not very precise but, the number of passengers is only used to figure out the time spent boarding and the number of baggage carts, which can only be 1, 2 or 3 or the type of the bus/van/minivan used so, we don't really need to be precise on that, as long as it's in the correct ballpark.

Hello,
no Problem.
I see this just as a real nice gimmie.
But, in my view, it can be very nice that, when you call the GSX "Request Boarding" Dialog. here can come up a litle Dialog were you can
set the passengers like in the Loadmanager of the PMDG.
At the same time you see the CG% and can set up the passengers at the RIGHT places ( more Pax at the first rows or the back rows ).
After that set up you click ok.
Then starts the normal Boarding procedure of GSX like it is ( or in the future with the Walking passengers .. which will be cool )
At this time you can use the FSUIPC to set the weight for every Station.
The CG% you can read also from the FSUIPC .. thats easy.
If it is not tooo complicated and possible it just was a real nice future .
I never want to use the FSX loading Dialog.

That's a different thing. You are suggesting that GSX would launch the custom loader for an airplane for you.

I don't see the point of GSX having to "set" the airplane weight, GSX only need to READ the stations data and act on that data, assuming it was set correctly elsewhere. What's the point of having a custom loading program provided with the airplane in the first place, if it doesn't "set" anything ?

Apart for the fact that we can read everything we need directly from FSX without FSUIPC (none of our products requires or uses FSUIPC for anything), but I don't see what the CG% data would be of any use to GSX.
