quick edit pushback
« on: March 10, 2021, 12:39:53 pm »
Hi,

quick edit pushback no longer works for me.
When I call it, it switches to the editor, but the num keys no longer work.
I'm using P3Dv4. and the last update of gsx.
After a few seconds, gsx hangs with a cloudy screen.

Can anyone help?

Ralf

Do you have other addons that use the cursor keys, like camera utilities ? If yes, you must disable them before using any of the GSX editor features, or re-configure them to use different keys.

I found the cause. This error only occurs in EKCH. I use the Scenery from Fly Tampa. I can remember that it worked before in Copenhagen.
I use ChasePlane as a camera tool. There are no problems with that.

Check if the AFCAD used by GSX is the one supplied with the scenery.

The problem is solved.
I deleted the section [gate b 15]. After that everything worked fine.  :)

thx

I checked the coordinates of your custom pushback, and they are outside the airport.

The most common cause for this, is one of your joysticks not properly calibrated, so it sent the airplane far away in slew mode, which is used by all GSX editors, including the custom pushback. The best solution to fix this, is to remove all Axes assignments from all connected joysticks in Slew mode only.

Hello Umberto,
I think in this case I caused the error myself with the keyboard.
At the moment when you switch to quickedit mode at Gate B15 in EKCH you can only see the aircraft itself from a bird's eye view and not the position after the pushback. I then tried to move the plane with the keys on the num pad, which of course didn't work.
In this case you must first adjust the zoom with the "-" key so that you can see the position of the aircraft after the pushback. Then everything works fine.

thx

Ralf
