GSX baggage

[Robert3512 21]

*me wondering aloud*

It's a small thing, but I wonder if GSX could include repeated trips/longer trailers for the cargo/baggage handlers like they already do with the pax and fuel, seems a bit unrealistic to load up 8 ULDs on a 747 when it can hold 30, or about 20 bags on a 737 when clearly there's more than 120 passengers. Also maybe more variation in the ULDs and bags (whoops, read FSDT's posts, apparently this is harder, so...more colours instead of different models?), I'm sure they can do this when they already have pretty varied passengers, it'd add so much more to the immersion.

Good post as I too have observed that anomaly in hilarity.

Maybe,

Airlines are charging too much for checking luggage, so GSX is simulating this by making all passengers having carrying on bags instead hehe.

🤣

Maybe 20 luggages are compressed into one and it pops open in the cargo hold? Plane_luggage.rar at work I guess... 😂

And here I am just wanting the baggage belts to stop driving under the airplane. GSX is a hot mess.

Agreed, plenty of issues especially with static elements but it's the only ground handling service we have so we just have to deal with it.

In other news, GSX+GSX2 is selling on SimMarket for €46 and change instead of €55 and change.

If they could at least fix integrated stairs it would be great. TBH the bags seem fine for me as when I only fly with bags it's like with low cost so makes sense. Also I'd like to see the ULDs wearing the same scheme both when boarding and deboarding. ANd also the KLM skin still makes teh push-truck thing yellow.

But as someone said it's teh only one in town so we'll have to deal with it

I agree, the worst GSX thing is the erratic baggage belt loaders behavior. Instead of going directly to the plane they drive all around the plane and then under it. This has been posted a lot on the GSX forum, but we are still waiting for an update to fix that.

I've been able to put an end to that behavior by customizing the parking spots I frequent using the tool in GSX and positioning the loaders so they don't do that (front loader at ~2 O'Clock angled towards the front cargo door, rear loader at ~3-4 O'Clock on opposite heading of acft).  Same sort of thing with baggage trains...if positioned right, they won't pirhouette or circle the acft.  The routing of bags/cargo to the jet during loading is still a real problem, though.

And here’s the fundamental flaw with GSX... customizing those positions is boring and tedious. Why can’t we set default vehicle positions by aircraft type and not by gate?

The most hilarious part is when I call for a refuelling truck and it just sails into a baggage loader awaiting or a stairway awaiting 🤣

Good thing we have AMD and Radeon, otherwise Intel and Nvidia would run the roost!🤣

Precisely. What are we paying for?

Sometimes I just imagine that the Three Stooges are the ground crew!!!

I've had a problem recently with the boarding/deboarding. It will go on forever unless I reset the position.

Also, the pushback stop is a bit erratic. Especially when selecting 'stop pushback and complete procedure here'. It makes sure to really speed up before stopping so that you are nicely put on the grass that you wanted to avoid.
