Opening and closing cabin doors issue.

[donaldd]

After starting the de-board process with GSX (at JFK), the airstairs go into place at the rear board/de-board door in the back of the plane, on the left side. For the jetway to move into place with the main, front board/de-board door, the rear door needs to be opened (GSX asks that door #2 be opened to begin the process.)

I am running FSX and Project Airbus' A320 v2.1. Shift+E opens the main board/de-board cabin door. I have the settings configured with E+3 and E+5 for the "wings fold" and "tail hook" so that the cargo doors and remaining doors open. When I press E+3, the two cargo doors open. When I press E+5, the two doors on the right side of the aircraft (for catering) open. The only door that does not open is the rear passenger board/de-board door. Any idea why that is and how I can configure the aircraft/settings so I can get all the doors to open?

Thank you for the help.

You said you have some doors linked to the Tailhook command and some doors to the Wingfold command, so you must write a custom XML expression for them, like this:

(A:TAILHOOK POSITION, bool)

or

(A:FOLDING WING HANDLE POSITION, bool)

Could you maybe explain that a little further and how I would possibly write the custom XML expression? Do I need a special program to do that? If it is to complicated, if you have a link to somewhere that could explain it, that would be more than appreciated. Thank you for the response.

Also, what does "bool" stand for/do?

You just write it into the GSX airplane configuration editor. If you set the door to have a custom check, additional editing fields will be enabled, allowing you to specify a custom text for the GSX message (instead of "Open Exit x") and an XML expression for it.

Page 28 of the GSX manual explains exactly how to do that.
