From a GSX user perspective, having no Cargo Containers (blocking) the door would be good. Don't need them to appear/dissappear, just have some in the hold but away from the door. Then the GSX cargo container can be fed into the door without looking so strange. When it pushes back into the hold and 'merges' into the PMDG model cargo containers you won't notice it so much because it's being fed back into the fuselage where you can't easily see.

 

As it is, the cargo containers are way up front, fouling the door (as they would if the holds were full). 

A half empty hold would leave that door space free for GSX, and wouldn't be SO unrealistic. Ok so if you fill it up to max zfw some people might like to see 'full' holds, but really, as there's only 1 model... half-empty cargo holds would be able to look "not entirely empty" while still allowing a GSX cargo loader to stuff cargo containers into the cargo door without looking so strange.

This is completely down to animations - I will ask Jason, but I do not believe we have enough remaining to do this. It's either no containers or show them statically.

If I can add my 2c. As far as I'm concerned all the liveries are extra. I'd be more than happy if the external model was a wireframe mesh. I really care only about what I have in the cockpit and how those things work :-)

Static 'only 70% full and no container blocking the door' would be good too. Can't remember the upper deck, but the lower forward/back seem to be totally full with a container "at" the door. Just removing 2 or so containers so the door is free would be nicer for GSX type animations. No need for animations, just have it like that all the time. No container blocking the door access, all the cargo containers further 'in' the fuselage (away from the doorframe). No animations. The static cargo load model would have approx 1 less "box" in it per door and not be animated.

 

As it is, I have issues with my GSX config with the -200LR which crashes Coatl (FSDT's addon thing) only in the passenger model, and the Freighter works fine, apart from the fact the freighter appears 'full' and the GSX box is crushed into the side of the PMDG box which is fouling the door. What happens after the GSX box is inserted into the door is irrelevant because once it is inside, it hides any boxes further in, so you can imagine it "pushing" all the next boxes inside 'down the line' as it were. Harder to do when it gets pushed into a box that's sitting in the doorframe.

 

That said, unless I'm making videos with closeups of said action, it's easy enough to ignore.

good idea, i would like using GSX if it its running flawless with the t7, animations arent important for me in this case, iam simply missing a bigger cargo loader for the main cargo door of the F model, i dont know if GSX can handle that.

Can't yet. Though I think I saw something on the FSDT forum saying they might 'need to make a different model that can reach the height of the 777 main deck door' or similar. Might come with an update for GSX at sometime in the future.

  • 4 weeks later...

would somebody be able to tell me where in the pmdg t7 i add the airlines icao code to change the display on the containers in the aircraft?

 

Many thanks

Neil Brown

 

That's not how it works. The containers displayed on the aircraft, are part of the repaint. You can find them in the fuse 1 file.
