herky1955 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I am using GSX 2 and want to use the GSX parking editor. The error message that the single parking spot, at 1, is orphaned, keeps blocking any GSX 2 actions. I don't have an airport editor (and wouldn't mess with one if I did!) could one of your devs un-orphan the parking spot please? Then GSX 2 can be used to unload passengers from my Milford Sound Twin Otter. I can then make a movie! Thanks Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello herky, try this one, copy and backup the original, then let this one overwrite. Also backup this bgl if you are happy with it, doing a Verify on NZMF it will replace this file with the original. ORBX_NZMF_APX.bgl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORBX_NZMF_APX.bgl 2.97 kB · 1 download Many thanks that's fixed the orphaned parking error message! The only issue that remains is GSX 2 decides to spawn the baggage cart and the bus on the exact parking spot 1, where the aircraft is located? Also Coutle keeps crashing and re starting. I guess its a Coutle issue after all? Doesn't surprise me, its a bit buggy sometimes, although the dev wont admit it! Thanks again for trying.

Are there any available settings that you can adjust with proximity to an aircraft or parking spot ? "problem raised by addon <unknown>" and "IndexError: list index out of range" = which addon and which list ? I could try to reposition that parking spot, but if GSX2 will always go to the spot instead of beside it, that is not going to help. Have you contacted the developers of GSX2 about this problem ? I hope you get it sorted, there must be an answer somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get it sorted, there must be an answer somewhere Hi. It's a strange one for sure. Loading begins with the baggage cart and the bus starting exactly where the aircraft is parked. I tried moving the GSX parking location, a few feet. Also rotating the aircraft parking 180 degrees. You can not edit the starting positions for the bus or baggage cart, since they usually spawn some distance from the parking spot. Posts on the GSX forum are usually met by "read the manual" or "this has been answered elsewhere" or just silence. I don't know why I persevere doing videos for this guy and promoting his product? If I let the unloading/loading run to its conclusion, GSX crashes with the error message. The sim doesn't crash, just GSX. Parking spots 2 and 3 are still orphaned so couldn't try them. Frustratingly, Murray Island, a free island airport from Orbx, has a perfect parking position that's served by GSX spot on. Yet Milford Sound, a gorgeous "payware" Orbx product has all three parking spots, all orphaned. Some Orbx Dev must know the solution to this. I think a fix would be welcome. But if there's only me using GSX at NZMF?☹️ Very many thanks for your help. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herky1955 Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I have posted the error log with a question over on the GSX forum. Hopefully the dev can make sense of the crashes? http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,23124.0.html Lets wait and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are marked as parking 3, closest to parking 1, and parking 2, furthest from 1, and are set under fuel triggers. As shown FSX with less static aircraft, there is very little room to play with. I hope you get a good respnce from the dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you get a good respnce from the dev. Thanks Smudger. I run it with option 1 in the FTX NZMF editor, this eliminates all the static vehicles. I surmise that you could create another parking spot, say, top right corner, near the inlet? Agree that two refuel spots are curious. I always avoid those due to the old type auto refuel? When I select parking spot 2 or 3 from the GSX menu, GSX puts up an error message as orphaned parking and no GSX available. Funny thing is, with GSX, it auto moves your aircraft to the spot, regardless of it being orphaned, you just can't edit it with GSX vehicles. The double parking (triple if you include the aircraft itself) doesn't appear to cause the GSX crash. The crash comes after a couple of minutes when the bus leaves. (There isn't any object collision detection in GSX, that's why you see the vehicles driving through each other and the aircraft itself, in some cases. I tend to laugh, but some folks get incensed! If were the developer, I would include a "walking to the terminal" option. That would be great at small airfields like Milford Sound. They could then all saunter to the cafe! No bus required at so many small strips. So far no reply on the GSX forum. There is a GSX file with coords for the baggage truck, but none for the bus. You can disable the bus and the baggage loaders, but then you don't see any passengers! What I would call a pointless edit, since I bought GSX 2 for the passenger loading. Aw well.

herky1955 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Thanks, will try it later today. Got a reply from the GSX Dev but I'm not sure he knows what's going on. I guess we're on our own with this one. Here's the link. http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,23124.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZMF_ADEP4_RS.bgl 2.95 kB · 1 download This file is a complete success! Well done sir and thank you. I suggest the Orbx devs put this parking spot file in a patch for NZMF. GSX works 100% with this parking spot #4. No crashes. I see the vehicles spawn and de-spawn well away from the parking spot. This must have solved the GSX crash? Thanks again. I have attached a couple of photos. Now Ill do my little You Tube video of my travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your solution was spot on! I am uploading a you tube movie which is part two of a three part flight. Part one was Germany (EDDN) to Brisbane (YBBN), in a maxed out 787-9. Part two YBBN to Wellington New Zealand, (NZWN). Part three will be NZWN to Milford Sound, in the Aerosoft Twotter...You Tube as "David herky". Some folks may think GSX 2 is a bit daft. But I think it adds more atmosphere into the sim. A bit like those horses at Lilydale, or the butterflies, dolphins, whales and ringing telephone at Milford. At any rate, it's fun getting it to work properly. The parking spot was beyond my ability. You have to apply a further GSX edit to get the passengers up the short steps of the Twotter. I know it's not perfect, but it makes me chuckle every time I see it! Regards David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
