Title: Ideas anyone?
Post by Lee Park on Feb 20th, 2013 at 3:01pm
I recently had a crash and have had to re install my entire system. All works fine except my CS 737 and GSX. All my other aircraft, which includes numerous other CS aircraft are ok with it.

The problem is that firstly I do not get the GSX stairs on any of the 737's. This is okay to a point because you have the air stairs, but for a bit of added realism, especially as I fly it a lot in South Africa, where not all our airports have jetways and use the old fashioned stairs it is nice. The other thing is that on my 200 and the Adv the bagage loaders do not come up, yet on the C and F, they do. The same for catering. All seems a bit reversed.

I've tried the different exit solutions in other threads, but no go. Does anyone with some knowledge of the 737 and GSX have any idea to try?

Create a gsx.cfg in the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B737-200 folder. Copy and paste this:


Code (][aircraft):

nosegear = 9.14
refueling = 1

[exit1]
pos = -1.66 7.97 -0.52 5.60
code = 1
name = Main Passenger Door

[exit2]
pos = -1.43 -10.40 -0.51 -11.70
code = (L:PassDoor2,bool)
name = Aft Passenger Door

[exit3]
remove = 1

[exit4]
remove = 1

[service1]
pos = 1.56 8.21 -0.52 -7.10
code = (L:ServDoor1,bool)
name = Forward Service Door

[service2]
pos = 1.34 -10.44 -0.54 10.20
code = (L:ServDoor2,bool)
name = Aft Service Door

[cargo1]
pos = 0.84 4.41 -1.84 0.90
code = 3
name = Forward Cargo Door
uldcode = AUTO

[cargo2]
pos = 0.88 -6.67 -1.80 9.30
code = 4
name = Aft Cargo Door
uldcode = AUTO


and see if that works. That works for me, so it should for you too. ;)

There are no baggage loaders for the -200ADV, only for the -200C/F. The above code works for the -200ADV as well.

Here is the gsx.cfg code for the -200C:


Code (][aircraft):

nosegear = 9.144
refueling = 1
absoluteheights = 0

[exit1]
pos = -1.65 7.9 -0.762 7.0
code = 1
name = Forward Passenger Door

[exit2]
pos = -1.38 -10.4 -0.15 -12.0
code = 1
name = Rear Passenger Door

[exit3]
remove = 1

[exit4]
remove = 1

[service1]
pos = 1.38 -10.25 -0.15 12.0
code = 0

[service2]
remove = 1

[cargo1]
pos = 1.524 3.972 -1.9 0.0
code = 3
name = Forward Cargo Door
uldcode = BELT

[cargo2]
pos = 1.158 -6.7 -1.44 0.0
code = 4
name = Rear Cargo Door
uldcode = BELT


and for the -200F:


Code (][aircraft):

nosegear = 9.144
refueling = 1
absoluteheights = 0

[exit1]
pos = -1.65 7.9 -0.762 7.0
code = 1
name = Forward Passenger Door

[exit2]
remove = 1

[exit3]
remove = 1

[exit4]
remove = 1

[service1]
pos = 1.65 8.15 -0.762 -7.0
code = 0

[service2]
remove = 1

[cargo1]
pos = 1.524 3.972 -1.9 0.0
code = 3
name = Forward Cargo Door
uldcode = BELT

[cargo2]
pos = 1.158 -6.7 -1.44 0.0
code = 4
name = Rear Cargo Door
uldcode = BELT


Hope this helps.

[edit]Looking at the codes for the 737-200C/F, it looks like they are the older ones I have. I'll look for the newer ones which I think are done better than that, but I might just have to redo them. Let me know how those last two (for the -200C and -200F) work. Please.[/edit]

Mark, Thanks, the ADV, C and F work fine, but I get the same problem with the 200. No stairs, no baggage loaders and a minivan pulls up for catering as opposed to the normal scissor truck that you would see.

I modified a 200 to an ADV in ACE and GSX works.

Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\Airplanes and look for the CS_B737-200 folder. If you find it, delete it (also delete or remove the gsx.cfg file from the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B737-200 folder). Start FSX, load the 737-200 and start GSx, see if it sets it up again properly. As far as I can remember, the location of the airstairs and cargo loader etc. are originally set by the [exits] entry in the aircraft.cfg. They are in the wrong place within the aircraft.cfg so they may need to be changed. I changed them in the aircraft.cfg myself, but it made no difference, so to get GSX working correctly, I had to edit the locations myself. It works fine for me now, but if I call the jetway, it stope in the centre of the plane (above the wings because it is reading the [exits] info in the aircraft.cfg).

Sorted ;D ;D did as you suggested, and it loaded itself properly again, then, because I like what you have done with the CFG for the 200, I put that back in the CS 737 200 folder. All is good again. Thankyou.

You're welcome. ;)
