ATR Freight
« on: November 04, 2024, 06:35:12 pm »
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here but I place the Aircraft on Cargo spots, tried EGNX and EGLC and when I request boarding, the cargo train appears, but no loader?

Hi,
do you have a gsx.cfg file established for the ATR 72-600F? If yes, I think you have to remove that and use the aircraft as it is supported in the internal database of GSX Pro. Then, on boarding/loading a low profile loader with two containers arrives and loads them into the a/c.
If you modify the a/c and save it (to a gsx.cfg) again a cargo train arrives. So it is/was with me.
Regards
Hans

I did have an alternative gsx file so I removed that. then tried EGNX again. Small cargo train came but nothing came to load it?

I have the gsx profile from flightsim.to but that only covers passenger spots. should there be cargo included as well for the belt/loader to appear. This is doing my head in  ;D

AFAIK you have to remove any gsx.cfg for the ATR 72-600F to see the cargo loader load/unload the a/c with container (see post #2).

Yes it worked once I had removed the third part .ini file. However how to I change it to a conveyor rather than the large Cargo which is way to wide? I have a EGNX .ini file but it doesn't cover cargo spaces?

Thanks

Paul, just go into the GSX aircraft customization and change it there.

The parking spot I choose is in Leipzig (EDDP) and is no cargo space either.
I don't have EGNX other than default and no .ini. You can give me the # of the parking spot you choose. Do you really get the big cargo loader with the ATR?

AFAIK that will not work because if you save you get the belt loader and packets to load. No cargo loader and container.

It sounds like that's what he wants, is it not.

Careful guys, as per Umberto's earlier post on another issue, for the loader type definition the airport profile takes higher priority than the aircraft profile. So, if the airport stand defines a belt loader, than it will be a belt no matter what is set in the ATR profile.

Just a note to keep in mind...
