Title: GSX DE-ICING
Post by: Driver170 on November 21, 2015, 07:46:04 pm
Is it possible for an update to have De-icing at a pad?

Already discussed many times: yes, we are working on it.

I think he's asking why GSX doesn't bring the jetway to the aircraft once it's parked.

Ok. As clearly explained on the manual (there's a blue box about it), and as discussed so many times already on the forum, GSX doesn't have any interaction with default Jetways. They are entirely independent from it.

No guys! I mean when you run GSX boarding lets say 15minutes i've set it at, after the 15mins nothing happens, the passenger stairs remain at the acft

The passenger stairs are not supposed to go away after boarding. And yes, this is intentional, it's not a bug, and it has been explained on the forum several times, for example here, some days ago:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,12777.msg96380.html#msg96380

It was about the loaders, but the reason is the same for the passenger stairs. Every vehicle that was attached to the doors, will go away when you ask for departure clearance.

Now i'm confused cause its somehow worked again - after that ding noise the passenger stairs do go down and go back once you close the aft passenger door

It's normal they would go back after *boarding*, because that's the last operation before asking clearance. They won't go back after *deboarding* instead, for the above reason, because there are other services that will likely be called.

From your last post, boarding works. You must have confused boarding with deboarding. Or, if you are sure it was boarding, it wasn't ended yet. Boarding ends with you hear the "ding" sound. Which is what happened in your last post.

Of course, before replying, I made a quick check just to be sure, and it's working normally.

Ok happened again! I've set GSX boarding for 18mins after this time is up its stuck on saying BOARDING REQUESTED. I closed all doors on the 737 NGX. Only thing thats still attached to my plane is the PAX boarding stairs

this time is up its stuck on saying BOARDING REQUESTED. I closed all doors on the 737 NGX.

If the program is waiting for the boarding to start, you must OPEN the doors, not close them!

There were a couple of threads about the custom PMDG door variables not always updating correctly on the 737NGX (not related to GSX, but likely to some internal system simulation on the PMDG), but you should be able to fix this by opening/closing them again.

Boarding starting like i said for 18minutes. But nothing happened after that, the passenger stair case remained on my plane!

According your own report, boarding hasn't started, because you said the menu indicated "BOARDING REQUESTED". This means boarding never started, most likely because GSX was waiting for you to open doors.

The tell tale is the "ding" sound, if don't hear it, it means boarding (or deboarding) hasn't started.

As I've said in my previous reply, there are cases when the PMDG 737 NGX doesn't update its own custom variables for the door, and opening/closing again might fix this.

And, I checked it and it WORKS correctly. But I only tested with a default airplane. It's not entirely clear from your message if:

- It happens with every airplane, every time.

OR

- It happens with every airplane, but randomly.

OR

- It happens just with the PMDG 737 NGX, every time.

OR

- It happens just with the PMDG 737 NGX, randomly.

Other that testing with a default airplane and confirming it works, there's nothing more we can do, lacking a reproducible case that can be replicated 100% of the times. Something like:

"At gate xxx at airport yyyy, using the zzz scenery, selecting deboarding, then catering, then refueling, then boarding, on the PMDG 737NGX only, will result in the vehicles not going away EVERY TIME".

Unless you can supply with a similar report, I can only confirm the result of my previous test on a random airport with a default airplane, which doesn't show the problem you reported.
