Title: Stair choice customization
Post by: nickac1092 on July 14, 2017, 03:40:03 am
So im relatively new to GSX, ive been on FS9 until recently switching to FSX SE.  Anyways, i got a question.  Is there a way to pick what kind of air stairs comes to the main pax door for all aircraft?  I would like to use something a bit bigger and can actually reach the floor height of the door on my aircraft.  Below is an example.  I would like the stairs that are in the aft door up front and stop using the small little stairs and only use those for regionals and not mainline.  

Aircraft being used  is from HJG.  MD-88

Door height from GSX:

main pax door
Meters:
-1.54 (LAT),  17.85 (Long),  2.27 (height)


Service door near engine:
Meters
-1.65(LAT), -6.90 (Long), 2.75 (height)


Aircraft exit section from aircraft cfg:

[EXITS]
//openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
number_of_exits = 5
exit.0 = 0.25, 54.9, -3.9, 3.8, 0 //[meters: 16.73 (long), -1.18 (LAT), 1.15 (Height)]
exit.1 = 0.15, 58.662, 5.110, 3.273, 1
exit.2 = 0.15, 40.246, 3.695, -1.245, 1
exit.3 = 0.15, 18.110, 3.696, -1.245, 1
exit.4 = 0.15, -25.140, 3.696, -1.245, 1

Please let me know if i need to edit a cfg file or something to get it to work.

Is there a way to pick what kind of air stairs comes to the main pax door for all aircraft?  I would like to use something a bit bigger and can actually reach the floor height of the door on my aircraft.

The stairscase selection is automatic depending on the door's height and, if there are multiple choices, is random between all the one that matches so, there's just nothing you are supposed to do.

However, since that plane door is quite low, it's possible there's just not a suitable match. What's the plane door's height, as indicated in the GSX airplane configuration editor ?

check my OP.  I modified it with the numbers.
