Cargo Ops
« on: February 18, 2012, 06:06:22 am »
Are there any development  for Cargo Ground Operations? There are many Cargo Airplanes  addons in FSX. :)

We are thinking about Cargo *operations* if, with "cargo operations", you mean something to DO with cargo in GSX, but that's not something that will be made quickly, and will likely be an expansion product, not a simple update.

If, instead, you mean just supporting cargo airplanes with pallet loaders, they will appear with an update, this has been discussed in many other threads already.

I agree, it will be a major extension product  and  GSX will accomplish both  simworld airport Passenger and Cargo animation.

Just wanting clarification, cargo operations meaning passenger planes receiving cargo? For example, a B777 will normally have cargo pallets placed in the front compartments, where as baggage containers..also known as Cans, or ULD's in the rear compartment, with leftover bags in the bulk.
Will this mean that there will be a commander loader to load cargo or cans in the appropriate cargo compartments?

An Airbus A320, A321 also have cans filled with baggage placed in both the front and back compartments.  Can there be a selection in the airplane settings, or gate settings to allow this sort of operation?

It seems, I just find it unrealistic for a B777 to have a belt loader that is pointed up to a maximum, only to load 3 bins of bags.

Any update would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Dan

Will it be possible to make container loaders for larger planes for both forward and aft cargo doors like in AES?

As I've said, if the airplane customization doesn't say anything specific, the vehicle type will be chosen depending on the door's height, which of course is valid for both cargo doors.
