Title: [P3Dv5.3] Towbarless tugs pulls nose down instead of lifting it up
Post by: capt_pero on October 15, 2023, 08:15:55 pm

A friend of mine and I noticed that Towbarless tugs do not lift the nose wheel but pull it down.
It only happens if there is a gsx.cfg file with definition of the Nose Wheel position for that aircraft. If no gsx.cfg file for that aircraft is available it lifts as expected.

Reproducable with P3D Default C-130H and clean gsx.cfg files

I am using v2.8.0 – October 12th, 2023

Example:
"C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\Airplanes\C-130J-30\gsx.cfg"

Be sure you have the latest version.

I will test again today. Have you fixed this?
I was using 2.8.0 and 2.8.1 has been released yesterday...

hi Umberto,

with version 2.8.1 the pulling down of the plane is gone again, but it does not lift it either.

regards Pete

Pete,

In P3Dv54 the pull down as well as the pull up animation has gone. It's a pitty. Just as the animation of the fueltruck and -hydrant doors opening and closing where you can read the quantity of the tanked cerosine. I don't know, but do they test the software versions and platforms before any release?
