Has anyone developed gsx? I made a gsx file that might be useful or even be included in the next version. No idea how to send it and I don't want to host it.
-Red

Um I configured gsx already but have no where to share it. As per pfpx I have no idea about creating or implementing it.

Can you send it this way as well? reddishknight wrote on Jan 2^nd, 2018 at 5:49pm:

Hi all,

I know this is a ong shot, but has anyone managed to create a GSX config file for this plane?
I'm getting weird allignments with SODE jetways.
I haven't tried the default ones - but I guess, that it's a misconfiguration of the entries somewhere...

Could anybody be of assistance?

Hello guys, I brand new to this bird, can you tell me where to drop the GSX in order to use it please? thanks.

plus 1 to the gsx file. where does it go?

It's working! thanks for help guys

I'm not sure about the RR but the PW has an internal gsx profile. If theres not one for the RR its not that hard to do by yourself. Just use the door codes from the PW and change some things in the aircraft editor. I don't have the RR yet but afaik there shouldn't be too many changes to the exterior model other than the engines. I dont think theres any door changes so should be as simple as a copy paste of the values.

If you dont see the PW in gsx then update the addon. Its definitely there.

I'm having a problem with the latest GSX updates and Captain Sim 757 III. For some strange reason this is the only aircraft it affects. I will load the aircraft cold and dark then start using checklists and pushback as normal but right before I start the engines I lose ATC and unable to start the engines. I've started the engines just fine without GSX, but the GSX and the 757 are the only aircraft that reacts like this. GSX is fine with every other aircraft except this one. I'm sending the same message to FSDT also. Any insight is appreciated.

From the previous post... no help at all from GSX or Captain Sim... This is the only aircraft this problem occurs.. I narrowed it down.. when I request loading of passengers GSX cuts out ATC totally. Then I'm unable to start the engines. There's no problem at all when I don't use GSX. Somebody, anybody?

How  do you config. GSX for this Aircraft, I have tried, but dont know what to look under, or where to go to do this, please explain to me

GSX is working for both the 1.3 PW and RR versions for me in P3Dv4, P3Dv3, and FSX-SE.

After much research I may have a solution as to why ATC and the engines won't start...Is there a limit to the APU run time? I start the APU (not ground power) after loading cold and dark. after say twenty minutes, I'm not finished programing, GSX etc.. the APU run light is still illuminated but ATC is gone so the engines don't start. This is a dumb question, but how (and how long) can I use external power before switching to the APU? On some add ons the APU run time seams to be unlimited or an actual external power unit can be seen (animated) externally.

I'm having a few issues with GSX with my CS 757-200. When I want to use GSX for my aircraft, the programming of where everything is doesnt match. For example, when the stairs extend to the door, instead of stopping at the bottom of the door they stop extending about half way up the door and it doesnt match. Wonder if anyone has a patch so that it corrects this issue

Please read this whole post.

I posted my RR gsx entry. Are you using the one I posted?
I know that my gsx cfg file works in fsx.

If you're using mine make sure the folder gsx.cfg is in matches the folder name in the simobjects/airplanes folder. You can check this very quickly. Load the aircraft in question and open the gsx aircraft editor. At the top it'll say one of three things. I dont remember the exact wording but you can figure it out.
1, using data from aircraft.cfg(you do not want this)
2, using gsx internal data(fsdt made this and could possibly be bugged)
3, using data from %appdata%(I dont remember the exact path)

The first one will ALWAYS be broken. that one won't have the door codes or proper alignment.
The second one was made by fsdt and they could have made a mistake. You can override it by making your own or placing a gsx.cfg file in the correct folder.
The third is a user created one.

Keep in mind that internal gsx aircraft data are not kept in the appdata folder. They're probably stored elsewhere or are embedded in the actual program.

You can create the folders in the appdata gsx folder. But they HAVE to match the simobjects/airplanes folder.

Each aircraft has to have its own entry. Mark, the reason that the others are worse is because they are most definitely using aircraft.cfg data. Every single aircraft has to have it's own gsx.cfg. some are handled internally. but the ones that are not will have to have it's own file. Luckily all of the 757s share the door placement and door codes. The 4d will have an extra entry but it too is shared among the other 4d. So you only need to do it twice. Then just create the folder in the appdata folder and copy the gsx.cfg folder from one a paste it into it's own folder. Again the folder HAS to match the simobjects/airplanes folder. The reason the PW works is because its supported internally. The RR is not.



As for the question about apu and engine start.  Make sure theres air going to the apu. Also make sure that the needle is around 40. You can turn the packs off temporarily. if there's not enough air the engines wont start. Regarding the apu, the apu uses fuel. I'm pretty sure the fuel it uses is from the left and right tanks. If theres no fuel the apu wont start. Also I've noticed that if you change fuel amount while the apu is running it will cut off. Simply set the apu switch to off then start it again and it will work. The apu has no time limit. I've left it running on a 6 hour flight before. It will stay running until you turn it off or all the fuel is used.

That's the old way of doing it. As far as I know that no longer works. At least it didn't last time I tried it. press the windows key and R at the same time and type in %appdata% and press enter. Go to the virtuali folder and open the airplanes folder. the airplane folders in there is where the gsx.cfg files go. If the airplanes folder doesn't exist you can create it then create the RR folde inside virtuali\airplanes if needed. You can also create the folder by opening the aircraft editor with the RR loaded and changing something.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you, been busy.

Markoz wrote on Jan 18^th, 2019 at 1:54am:


you're right. they changed it since I last checked. It can now read from both airplane root and appdata folder. I just tested all 4 RRs in P3D4 and they work for me. I'll go ahead and upload an archive that has the folders with the gsx.cfg files. You can either extract them into the appdata folder or extract them into the simobjects folder. You could do both as well.


These files defintely work for me. I included the 4D as I did them before.


So open the zip, drag the folders into either the simobjects folder or the appdata airplanes folder. It has correct folder names so extracting directly to the simobjects folder is fine, just say yes if it asks to merge.


If you have any issues I'm not sure what to say as I just tested them. I suppose you could run the live updater and if that doesn't work I'm stumped. If all else fails, you could post on the GSX forums.

They will probably never support the RR internally. FSDT is annoying like that. They never supported the CS B773 so I had to make my own. And the 737 never got any support at all. It's weird. Not sure why FSDT does that.


It'd be nice if CS would include a gsx.cfg in their aircraft. It's not that hard to do. I'm not complaining, it'd just be nice so they can save people some time. Especially since they use custom doors so it can sometimes be a hassle to make it functional at all.

Has anyone made a GSX config for the freighter?

Exactly the same here too.

I haven't looked, nor have I edited GSX for the 757F yet

Thank you

Lewis wrote on Feb 11^th, 2019 at 11:22pm:

It's all in the GSX manual, just open it and read up on what to do.

Once more that GSX addon is so utterly ridiculous in its behaviour. This must be the worst piece of add=on ever created!!

Last night I purchased the CS757-300 Expansion for P3Dv4.

Prior to that, when I called for the GSX catering trucks to service a 757-200, it did so perfectly, i.e. went to the correct service doors on the right-hand side.

Take a look at this latest farce from GSX

Just about says it all that it does not recognise where the service doors on a Boeing 757-300 are!

Anyone else with the same issue?

PWJT8D wrote on Feb 15^th, 2019 at 10:19pm:


I thought as it already knew what to do and where to go, perfectly, in the -200, and nothing has drastically changed maybe other than winglets, or overall length in the -300 but service doors are still in the same place, it'd still work as before.

Ah, well, will edit accordingly.

Thanks but again, is the jetway and the loader are P3D4 DEFAULT ones?

Captain Sim wrote on Feb 19^th, 2019 at 3:10pm:


P3Dv4 comes with default jetways at some airports not all, but definitely no cargo loaders at any of its airports, so I am thinking that the issue 'divinglyc' and I have is GSX-related, except his is GSXii whereas mine was until that fix posted earlier today, GSXi

After running that latest Update in the link provided, please take a look where the GSX catering vehicles come to.

No way can 2 catering vehicles come to service a 757-300 side by side, completely ignoring the Aft section.

Not sure where the blame should be apportioned for this fiasco.

Hello. I got those two cfg files for the 757 freighter GSX configuration but i dont know where to place them. Help
Im using p3dv4.

Hi! Do you happen to know where I can get the configure file for 757-300?
Thanks!

Colvale wrote on Feb 28^th, 2019 at 2:15pm:


Thanks! I just need the pax version. 

In P3Dv4.4, I called the GSX fuel truck, selected 50%, it removed my cargo, left the passengers, but the payload reverted to 0.0lbs, and the fuel remained at 100%. I had to remove all the passengers, re-add them and the cargo, then I selected 37.8 for the fuel to make it 50%.

In P3Dv3.4 it did the same thing. I haven't got time at the moment to try FSX-SE, but will try it later when I do have time.

Because of this, I won't be using the GSX refueling with the 757 III in P3D!

Markoz wrote on Mar 1^st, 2019 at 2:08am:

Fully agree with you Mark as I was doing a test flight from GCXO(Tenerife North) and did the CDU FMC bit first, and upon calling for the GSX fuel truck, voila! the Payload reverted to zero.

Something's screwed with GSX. Like you, will give it a miss calling for the Fuel Truck.

Off-Topic replies have been moved to this Topic.

Hi:

I think I'm looking for profiles for all types too.  The other day I flew a freighter into MEM and I had two air stairs come up to the airplane.

Thanks.

Sorry. I don't know if it already been done, and I haven't been bothered to do them for myself yet.
If I had done them, I would happily be sharing them with everyone, and if/when I do, I will.

+1    this GSXing is being printed within my checklist lines for the 757....

Okay. I've done the GSX settings for ALL of the 757-200PW Base Pack Models, 757-200RR Expansion Models, 757-300 Expansion Models, and 757 Freighter Expansion Models).

These gsx.cfg's work for FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv3, and P3Dv4 - which is just as well, as the aircraft model names are the same for all of those flight simulators, and I have the 757 III in all of them.


Now. I have included passenger exits Exit 1, Exit 2, and Exit 3, and in the gsx.cfg's for the passenger aircraft, and the gsx.cfg's are set to Exit 1 being the preferred exit. If you prefer Exit 2, then change this line in the gsx.cfg for that/those particular aircraft

from this:

preferredexit =  1

to this

preferredexit =  2

If you don't want a particular exit to be used, go to the MENU > Add-ons > GSX > Customize aircraft... and when the panel opens, click on the exit you don't want, and another box appears, click on the first at the box that says "Door with custom open/close checks", and select "No door at this position".
If you remove the PAX 1 entry, you might need to change the preferredexit =  1 to preferredexit =  2 in the gsx.cfg (found in %AppData%\Virtuali\Airplanes\<aircraft name here> (i.e. CS_B757-200-III_PW2037)), just in case GSX keeps wanting you to open the PAX 1 entry that you removed. The method for removing the passenger exits, applies to service doors if you don't want to use any/all of them.

With the 757 Freighter models, I have included PAX 1 on the forward port (left side) exit/entry, near the cockpit.
For the 757-200SF, I also included the forward starbort (right side) service door, which you can have removed if you don't want it.

As you can see, there are a lot of options to choose from, so I created the gsx.cfg's to cater for all of them, and changing them to suit yourselves it at your discretion. As long as you don't delete the zip file, or modify any of the .cfg's within the zip file, you can always unzip them again.

You're welcome.

I'm pretty sure I tested them all, but seeing as there are 23 different models, I might have missed something, or messed something up, on one/some of them. I hope I didn't. So.... If anyone finds something that isn't right, please let me know, and I'll fix it ASAP.

Try the ones in the link of this post: https://www.captainsim.org/forum/csf.pl?num=1514864829/84#84

I took a look at the GSX settings for the Main Cargo door, Forward Cargo door, and Aft Cargo door, and they are set correctly (see the attached image).

I pretty sure that what is happening, is that GSX has saved a gsx.cfg in C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB5
35E4, and it's reading that gsx.cfg, and not the one you placed in the <FlightSimulator>\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB535E4.

You need to either copy the gsx from <FlightSimulator>\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB535E4 over to C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB5
35E4, and overwrite that one.

Or... You can simoply delete the gsx.cfg in C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB5
35E4, and then GSX will read the one that you extracted to <FlightSimulator>\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B757-200SF-III_RB535E4

Hello everybody,
I own GSX 2 and boarding (another company, for example) always drives buses for passengers. Not here with the Captain Sim 757.
What do I have to do to get buses back?

GSX 2 is up to date

Thanks for Info

Markoz wrote on Sep 30^th, 2019 at 1:07pm:


No, I always called (De) Boarding via the GSX menu. In the FMC nothing

Sorry, did I miss it.  Are there profiles out now?
