Suggestion for GSX

[mroschk]

Hello,

ahh...that explains all.

But, why ever, all my requests seams to bounce from you. Why ever...same for the Chocks, GPU, GSU and Gate Information ...

Because your requests make no sense, and there are far more important things that FSDT needs to focus on when it comes to GSX

I agree entirely, and I suspect that I am not the only one.

That's not true. I always said these features are planned and will come sooner or later, but we put bug fixing and stability always ahead than new features. GSX is already prepared to support GPUs, ( what else the fsdreamteam\Couatl\GSX\assistanceServices\groundPowerUnit.pye file could be for ? ), but we haven't enabled it yet, because it's not finished.

But this last request of yours, relies on using another product, and this is something we don't plan to do.

[mroschk]

Hello,

it is not related to another product.
It can also be a simple text file which is located in the GSX directory.
Like:

Station.0 = 1200kg
Station.1= 2300kg

Like in the aircraft.cfg.
The user can change this file regarding to his aircraft.cfg.

GSX reads this file and load the weight in the stations.

That makes all the different load editors not longer to need and also it is not longer needet to
call the FSX Load Dialog.
Thats what i want to suggest.

I don't see how exiting from FSX and editing a text file with a text editor would be any more "realistic" than just using a Load editor, either default or custom, which is surely easier, faster and with no chances of mistakes.

you can create, update, edit the txt file before you start FSX....

Don't see how this changes anything about how cumbersome the process would be, compared to just using the proper loader, which is there for a reason.

[mroschk]

Tha Change, big Change, is that you not have to call the loaddialog of FSX.

First, I don't see what's wrong with the loader and, I don't see how having to edit a text file would be any easier or realistic than using the proper FSX UI interface. What's next, having to edit a text file to set the weather, another one to set the time/date ? It's called a SIMULATION for a reason: there's an interface to change simulation parameters, and the loader is one of them.

txt file can be updated by any Programm like topcat.

Ok, but i see you dont want to Change it. So let it as it is.
I dont want to explain that longer.

Matthias

txt file can be updated by any Programm like topcat.

Which will go back to the start: it doesn't make any sense to rely on another program to do something that FSX does already.

Don't like the default loader and prefer Topcat ? Just ask Topcat developers to support default airplanes too, it seems that's the only thing you are really missing.

Have you tried asking Topcat developers why they don't support default airplanes too ? I guess they would simply say "the default FSX loader is fine for default airplanes", which of course make sense.

Topcat supports all planes!!!!

Topcat supports all planes!!!!

As I've said, I don't know that tool. Their web page shows that it supports only a limited number of 3rd party planes. If that is in *addition* to default planes, that's just more and more proving my point: just use Topcat since it seems it does what you asked for.

[mroschk]

Hello,

i think we can stop here.
You dont want or like it and thats it.

Even without this GSX is the best tool !!

Thanks

This is simply not true.
Topcat only supports a limited number of aircraft.
The aircraft supported can be seen here:

So don't spread untruths because you cannot get your own way.
