A380 door XML variable for GSX setup

Post by Pooch »

Hi, I am new in this forum and have the following issue:

I am setting up the PA A380 with Thomas Ruth's VC for GSX. All doors open as indicated in the readme. GSX recognizes automatically all FSX-standard-keys (Shift+E+..) but not specific-model-keys like "Wing fold/unfold (not assigned to a key binding by default): 1R, 5R, 5L", which can, however, be custom configurated provided one knows the xml-variable to be entered in (L:MyVar, bool). Unless GSX does not recognize that the doors are open (even if the are) the catering does not start.

Can anyone please post the variables for doors 1R and 5R

Thank you in advance !
Peter

Try door_0 to door_3.

Unfortunately door_0 ecc. does not work.
Thanks anyway.

Someone else?
Ciao, Peter

I've never used GSX, but this is what a developer said on their forums:

"Which is why the GSX editor allows you to specify either what standard FSX variable each door uses OR insert custom XML code in case of non-standard doors OR ignore the door status altogether (useful with static doors) so GSX won't check if the door is open or not, and will start services right away." -- http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=7799.0

....in which case, I'd look into ignoring these doors altogether.

Yes, that's what the manual says. It would be a pity to ignore the 2 service-doors as they are actually working, just not recognized by GSX without the XML code.
Hopefully someone comes up with the correct variable.

Thanks a lot anyway
Peter

I sort of assumed you can't use `(A:FOLDING WING HANDLE POSITION, bool)`. Have you tried that?

Also, please don't dismiss people who offer you help. It's bad manners.

Please accept my apologies if I choose a wording which is offending ( english is not my mother language, I am German ), it was not my intention to dismiss anyone.
I tried to use as MyVar the entry in the aircraft.cfg "wing_fold_system_type" but no success.
Thanks, Peter
