Title: GSX Vehicles Invisible
Post by: UPS101 on June 04, 2016, 08:37:52 pm
So last night I updated my GSX. I went to run it today and some of the ground vehicles were invisible. This was not only with a cargo plane(MD-11F) but also a passenger plane(B738). So I figured something didn't install right so I reinstalled the update and tried again, but the problem is still there. It is different every time. Some times the rear stairs do not appear or one of the cargo/luggage loaders do not appear. And when the cargo/luggage carts appear they are missing one cart. So it will be like the truck, cart, cart, invisible cart, cart. I would really like some help on this. Thanks!

I have the same problem. I have 3 carts rolling down the ramp, but no truck pulling them.

Were you using the paint kit with customized vehicles prior to the update? I was...

Check if you have some simobjects named FSDT*_USER in your FSX\Simobjects\Misc folder, if you have, it means you installed the Paintkit, and there's has been an update to it too.

Be aware that, if you made some repaints yourself, you'll want to backup those folders first.

There is nothing called FSDT*_USER in my FSX\SimObjects\Misc folder.

Then you are not using the full version of the GSX installer. It's a required update, because it must update all vehicles.

I have ran the full installer twice. And the problem is still there.

There is a bug somewhere. After an update just a few days ago, I got problems with the passenger vans. They drive up in the air. Downloaded today's new version and updated. No difference. I have uninstalled all of GSX and reinstalled it, several times, but the problem is still there. Only using the full installer. One time the baggage vans were missing as well. This is what the passenger vans look like. Doesn't matter what airport. Stock scenery.

I get the flying passenger van as well. All other vehicles (when they're not suffering the invisibility bug) are on the ground. All other buses work, as well. Did several full reinstalls, too, and different aircraft and airports. Just tried it one minute ago after doing the updates.

I wonder if "invisible vehicles" could also mean they are above or below the ground.

Found the problem, two vehicles were still not updated: the Van and the Large Yellow Pushback. They are all fixed now, in the Vehicle Update:

That mini-fix did fix the passenger van for me. So that much, at least, seemed to work.

I don't see anything in your screens, they are just too dark. I can only repeat and confirm (which is also confirmed by the other user) that the two vehicles that still had a problem, the Yellow Pushback and the Van, are fixed with that vehicles update.

The PaintKit link is on the GSX page, be sure you Refresh it, to get the current version. However, is needed only if you downloaded in the past, and if you made some repaints, you must proceed as explained here, in order to not lose them:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,13677.msg101259.html#msg101259

If, instead, you are just missing the large yellow Pushback truck, it's enough to download install the vehicles update, I'll repeat the link again:

Sorry, it's /gsx_paintkit, not /paintkit. I've fixed the web page too.

Be sure you installed the latest full GSX installer, not just the Stand-Alone Addon Manager.

I don't have any flying passenger vans anymore. :) Thanks!

I have the rear baggage loader missing.

but I can see the containers lifted up in the air and loaded into aircraft.

The last update has caused many issues.

What is the fix for the baggage loader ?

The aircraft is pmdg 777-300ER.

I have the front vehicle working well.

I have missing baggage loaders.

Full installer, plus latest addon manager installed.

Please include a complete report, don't leave out anything:

- The airplane used

- The airport used. If it's not default or FSDT, clearly identify the 3rd party scenery used

- The gate used

- Possibly, the operator selected.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. I downloaded the full installer and installed it into my completely new P3D v3.2 installation. I also installed two updates in the past few days.

I tested it in Zurich (LSZH), Geneva (LSGG), Berlin (EDDT) and Barcelona (LEBL) so far (all default, with an AFCAD by Ray Smith). I used the Aerosoft A319, A320, A321 and the PMDG B737-800.

I tested on all airports at various gates (with jetway or out on the tarmac).

I usually have one or more vehicles missing. Sometimes a baggage cart is missing, sometimes the baggage truck, a couple of times i missed a catering truck or a baggage loader. When I restart couatl there is usually another vehicle missing

Operator where usually Dnata, Swissport or Air Berlin (EDDT).

I have also the problem, that it says boarding completed even if not all containers are loaded (with the aerosoft aircraft).

I can only confirm it doesn't happen here.

Maybe you installed the PaintKit in the past ? If yes, you must updated that one too, as discussed here:

http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,5748.msg99526.html#msg99526

AND, about the Aerosoft Airbus, if you think you are missing the baggage carts, they are not missing. They number changes depending on the airplane weight and, on the FMC.

Hi Umberto,

This is the first time I have installed GSX (in P3D) but I will check about the PaintKit anyway.

I'm aware that the number of baggage carts can change depending on the weight, but I'm pretty sure, that it is a fault if there is a truck, then one baggage cart, then something missing and then another cart moving alone behind the rest.

As I have written, not only baggage carts are missing. If a baggage loader is missing, the luggage or the container are just floating into the plane.

Here is a picture:

I also experience this problem when i don't have an atc_parking_code entry in my aircraft.cfg:

There are only these options available after landing...

If the baggage loader is missing, it's because you haven't updated GSX with *current* full installer.

I also experience this problem when i don't have an atc_parking_code entry in my aircraft.cfg:

The problem doesn't have anything to with GSX, and it's just an issue of the new transparent P3D menus (that will affect ANY application with a menu), not properly resizing automatically depending on the number of entries shown.

You must simply RESIZE the menu manually, to see the additional entries which ARE there.

I downloaded the new full installer last saturday (04. June) from the fsdreamteam product page. I will download it again and install GSX into P3D again.


Thanks about the other issue with the window size.

Hi,

Today I reinstalled GSX (downloaded the current installer) and tested in FSX and P3D. In both simulators it seems to work so far, i don't have any missing vehicles anymore  :)

thanks for your help!

The vehicles in the sky in your first screen clearly indicates you haven't updated with the current full GSX installer.

If you are *sure* you have, it's likely you have additional liveries you made with the PaintKit, (or you downloaded the PaintKit and forgot about it), so you must install the updated PaintKit too.

Hi, after vehicles update at least the littel trucks are visible- but without carts. More tests to come...
