Hello!
Can anyone share a profile for PMDG 737 Cargo ?

Trying to make one... I can't even get the air stairs or cargo loader to show up, though.

Using the CDU?

The plane just released. For now you have to use the FMC for ground services until someone or FSDT makes a profile.

Quickly made tell me if I can make any tweaks thanks
For the -800 Freighter

Problems:
I had to reposition the stairs so not to overlap the large loader.
The large stairs model is called can that be changed I do not know
the forward and rear lower cargo is too small and seeing baggage is all I can get

For cargo main, this is the closest i have found code wise to what we load in real life. uldcode = AMP,SAA,PALLET1,PALLET2,PALLET3,PALLET4,PALLET5,PALLET6,PALLET7
AKE can be loaded but we normally only load one and it goes on first.

Thanks for this... Brilliant... One thing, how do you stop the cargo unloading, before the Cargo Main door is opened... right now it unloads cargo whilst the door is closed, and no notification is received to "Open Cargo Main Door"... The Smaller FWD and AFT doors are OK...

Cheers in advance,
Faisal

I added a code for each door that gsx identifies but I guessed on the name of them. Try these

Cheers mate...

Unfortunately, the new ones don't even start the unload process, the older one did... I have tried to mess around with the XML Expression for the door check, but no luck... After reading the GSX Manual, you have done everything as per the manual, but no go...  I will use the original one you created, and remember to open the Main Cargo door...  Guess we have to wait for Umberto to solve this...

Cheers

Will need to wait for a gsx update

I got it to work, for some reason the variable for the main cargo door is `7X7Xmaincargodoor` not `NGXMainCargoDoor`.

Attached is an overall improved config with working cargo door.

Brilliant... All is good now... works flawlessly... Just a question, how did you manage to find out that the variable was `7X7Xmaincargodoor` and not `NGXMainCargoDoor`...

I use LINDA to set up my controllers and it has a "tracer" feature which also shows all variables. That is how I saw every active variable but I had to find a config for the 747-8F and see that that used the 7X7X variable (which was also present with the NGXu).

Just a little snooping around  ;)

Thanks and note the Boeing Converted Freighter and Badek Freighter have the cargo doors in different places

I have not looked at the BeDeck variant, I imaged you/someone else would make that at some point :)

Hello
I was able to put the cargo door and the stairs to the pilots door.
I would like to put the dollies for 11 cargo pallets to load.

At the front left exit, you need to leave the usual ramp, otherwise the pilots will climb into the cabin past the steps. With the usual ladder is normal.

I have added support for the built-in airstairs and made configs for all 737 cargo variants.

Please let me know if there are any issues (there shouldn't be though!).

There is nothing I can do about this. When an aircraft is marked as a cargo plane in GSX it will use this staircase which I'm guessing wasn't designed for the smaller 737.
