A few newbie questions

Featured Replies

1) When I land at an airport and park at the gate, how do I call for the baggage car? I hit ctrl-J but nothing ever happens. Also, why does the ATC put a large passenger plane at a gate with no skyway?2) How can I get the AI commercial aircraft to use my repaints? They always use the default textures.3) Where in the GPS can I find ILS info for the runways?

Hi Stryker,1) Try Shift + E, which will open the doors of your vehicle, then before you press any other key hit the 2 key which will open the baggage door. You need to be parked close to some baggage carts which will get to work shortly.2) I don't know, I've not done much with AI.3) You won't get any ILS info from the GPS. The only ILS info you'll get is from the Airport Facilities Directory which you'll get when you click on an airport in map view.Mike.

>3) You won't get any ILS info from the GPS.

In fact, you can use the knob-cursor to select the frequency and autoload it to the NAV radio.You can also see the ILS "feathers" in the Airport/Runway page's window.

Thanks for the responses guys. I was hitting shift-E for the doors but didn't know about hitting 2 after. It works great now. :)How do you autoload the frequency from the GPS?
