Ground service vehicles-where? how?

Featured Replies

Has anyone had a baggage cart or fuel truck pull up to their plane yet? Is that in the demo? What do you need to do to get one to come over to you? I tried parking at a gate and shutting everything down but no luck.

Don't know if it's in the demo.

I don't think so either. I tried requesting a fuel truck and it said it wasn't available at TNCM.

If you park at a gate parking spot where there is a baggage loader and baggage cart, try opening your second door (the cargo door).

That worked, but I realize why I haven't seen anything before- there seems to be a bug causing ground vehicles to appear and disappear as they move around. I can still see their shadow though, kind of creepy actually. Also, I had a bagage loader approach my left side cargo door from the right and crashed into (or through) the right side of the CRJ. I'll report these in the bug thread too.

Had the exact same issues happen to me. In addition when I closed the cargo door the bagage loader tried to return to its position, only it decided to go through the right wing. As it did it caused a collision with the CRJ and reset the flight. Aside from the bugs it was still cool to watch. :-)-Thad

Yup got some glitches here as well. Once FSX is optimized for performance and the bugs are gone, WOW!!!!!!! We are in for a real visual treat, if your system is up to par of course.;)

Had tried pressing then all at once before but that only made the comm panel appear (Shift+2).Thank you for the quick response.
