Title: customize pax waypoints wont work **SOLVED**
Post by: themkall on February 14, 2022, 01:08:21 am
Hello, after updating to the latest version, i tried as the tutorial shows, to create a walk in gate at corfu, but i cant get past the customize pax waypoints button. i press it, the assign buttons message pops up and then nothing else. no editor, no anything. any ideas? also can you add an inclined path since many airports, like corfu, have inclined gates?

Please clarify what do you mean with "the assign buttons message"

Passenger waypoints are already in 3d internally, but we would need to upgrade the editor to support their creation.

You mean the help window that comes out the first time you use the editor, which a check mark asking if you want to see it again ? The editor should appear after you close it.

Could some one please tell me where the Tutorial is located please.
I have managed to work out most of the details, Up/Down/Left/right then F6 to position the waypoint, but I cannot get F5 (removal) to work.
A very welcome addition to GSX2.
Best regards, Martin.

That you are the one and only reported it, and I can't replicate it. But it's possible that other pending fixes we are working on might fix your issue too.

I had the very same issue yesterday. The window appears and after closing it nothing happened. After running the updater a few times it worked but that was yesterday. Don't know how many new updates were released since then.

So it fixed it for me after running the updater a few times 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yesterday doesn't say much, we had a dozen of minor updates yesterday, until 1:00 AM MY TIME, because everything that could be fixed quickly already has been, following all various user report.

So, as a general rule, it's always check the update before posting about a problem because, especially in the first days after a new update, updates are coming very quickly, many times at day.

After i came across this problem, i ran the updater twice before posting, to make sure that it wasn't working

with latest update : another issue:

I tried editing the walk in gates on stand 122, finished, and then move to stand 123, somehow it shows the route that has been done on stand 122, I also tried to Reset Stand 123 and redo it again, but it keeps showing the route that is of 122.

Any idea ?

+ sometimes, click on Customize pax waypoints does not do anything,

here is the error logs, after clicking on customize pax waypoints :

This issue has already been discussed in other threads, for example here, with a suggested workaround until we'll come up with a proper fix.

Same issue here. Updated using the FSDT Installer just an hour ago. When I go into Customize Airport Position, Disable the bus and want to customize pax waypoints, nothing happens. Also the apply buytton isn't doing a thing.

Hi,
I have avoided commenting with the same errors until the temp fix has been released. I have tried airports such as UK Scenery 2000 Jersey and Luton. These are ideal as no Jetways. Programming of the walking Pax now works well. I have been unable to replicate any of the previous GSX errors. I have updated with the latest fix. The only thing that occasionally occurs is this: When customise airport position is selected, customise pax waypoints selected (after disabling bus), the key summary shows, once OK is pressed, the customise screen can remain and apply will not work. The simple solution is to close this page, start the process again and the pax walking points can be added.

This really is an excellent update for those airports such as above.  Well done to the Team!

Keith

Ok- here is a workaround for customizing pax waypoints:
1.Go to your respective ini-file in appdata/roaming/virtuali/gsx (e.g. edds-ms9dwx.ini)
2. Find the parking number you want to apply walking passengers
3. Set the line "nopassengerbus" to 1--> "nopassengerbus = 1"
4. Go back to FSX/GSX "Customize this parking position" and try now to click "Customize pax waypoints"
5. Use the editor as usual

It worked in my case...

We believe to have found the problem of "ghost" waypoints, run the FSDT Update now to get the update files, the restart workaround should no longer be required.
