Title: Interfacing with GSX: Able to check stairs' status?
Post by: stefangr on May 07, 2020, 10:28:18 am

Just curious if there are any L: variables which represent the stairs' status - similar to FSDT_GSX_JETWAY_POWER or anything like that - to find out if stairs are docked to the aircraft, moving or are undocked. I have not found anything in the manual, but maybe there is a variable for that  :)

Thanks
Stefan

There's no such variable, maybe we can add it in a future update. What would be your usage for it ?

I wanted to use it to switch on EXT PWR on position where no jetway is available (for jetways there is a nice variable I can use).

It can also be used to trigger purser announcement "all doors in flight". Stairs are removed automatically once the doors are closed after deboarding, but reading the stairs' status would be more precise.
