theother1 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 For a few weeks (it might have coincided with the latest LOWI update) I have no more ground vehicles available. The only thing available is the external power, but no stairs, no baggage vehicles, no catering vehicle and no pushback truck. Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theother1 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 I noticed the same problem at EGLC (London City). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM01 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Just spawned at those 2 airports and I have the same issue, no other addons other than the A32NX, Navigraph and one livery, deleted my content.xml prior to loading MSFS and I don't use any cache. When I call the tug the aircraft moves slightly, and I can push back, but the tug is not visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atti Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Das Problem besteht seit dem Update von Orbx LOWI. Schwach von Orbx dass dieses Problem nicht behoben wird. Und das auch noch von einer Payware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioswatcher Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Very disappointing on the part of Orbx to leave its customers in the lurch. The least they could do is to take the complaint into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ground services are available at Orbx' LOWI, but which services are available depends on the airplane used and on the parking position, just like in ral life. Here is a pic I took 5 minute ago from a pushback executed on the 787. BTW in real life in most cases puhsback is not used at LOWI by commercial airliners, because there is usually enough space at their parking positions to enable them to turn around on their own.

You say 'in most cases' and 'usually', I'm guess not always, and not all the time. Probably unusual for a 787 to use LOWI, can you please spawn in using the A320 and try please? If you read my post above, for me, there are pushback services for the A320, because I can actually pushback, however, they are invisible. Now, the issue is not a big problem for me, but for others it may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hello, what is apparent is that you need to choose the parking that has pushback for an aircraft that needs pushback. Here is one, not only is the aircraft being pushed back, the operation is also being supervised. Ramp 2, horrible weather today it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I can pushback, but strangely the vehicle is invisible. As per you request here are pushback and other grpund serbices available for the A320. Screenies taken just 10 minutes ago with live weather. Yes, we again have got rain here in Innsbruck: 1) Available ground services for the A320 2) Pushback Request for the A320 3) Pushback for A320 operating (pushback vehicle is visible) So, no problems here at all for pushback and other ground services for the A320.

wolfko Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The only thing I have noticed is, that the fuel truck option is sometimes missing in the list of the available ground services (pic 1 in my above post). I could not figure out yet what the conditions are to make this service appearing (cold and dark, or ready for pushback, or just landed etc.). But I think this happens at many airports. @AndyM01 Also sometimes you have to be patient and call 2 or 3 times for a certain service until it becomes available, just like it is at real world aiports, where only a certain amount of catering trucks etc. is available. When I did the LOWI screen shots before and ordered the baggage sevice, ground service replied: "Sorry we cannot find the baggage." . I tried another time and all was good.

AndyM01 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Thanks, not sure what is going on my end then. As I said, not really a problem for me as I can still push back, it's just the vehicle is invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backfire02 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Same problem for me. Only the electrical supply vehicle is available and displayed. The Pushback works but is not shown. No stairs, no baggages, no catering. Tried with several aircraft at different parking places. Deleted the Asobo and reinstalled the Orbx. Nothing changed.

Nick Cooper Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hello, welcome to the forums. I have shown the Cessna Longitude at Ramp 2 with both the pushback and the GPU. Did you try that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hello, I have looked into this a bit more and it seems that what is seen is the result of a combination of what the aircraft is set to see and what is available at the parking in question. I set the PMDG DC6 to ask for them all and it was a case of "be careful what you wish for" Gate So I reset it for everything but the jetway and: Gate Ramp A different Ramp If this does nothing else, it illustrates that to see an available ground service, the aircraft and the airport must share that setting. This might go a long way towards explaining why we are all seeing different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theother1 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 I only fly the A320 and the only thing I see is a power vehicle. No stairs, no catering truck, no baggage trucks. A320's fly to LOWI, I don't care about Cessna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfko Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 13 hours ago, theother1 said: They are neither displayed nor appear when I call them. Okay, please try the following, if you have not already: on the world map set Ramp 7/Parking as departure (Ramp 8 will also work). Then your A320 will be positoned cold and dark at a gate, where all the service vehicles (with the exception of a fuel truck) are already waiting to service you. Of course you have to start electrical power before you are able to call the services. If you want the services after landing ignore the ATC taxi instructions and also do not park, where all the service vehicles and the BP fuel truck are already waiting (they are not ai but starics of the scenery) but as close to the right of this area as possible. Please note that in real world there are no marked parking spots at LOWI. The marshaller will space aircraft parking based on demand. I hope this helps.

Backfire02 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Hi, first of all. Thanks to Nick for his Answer. I already tried several times what Wolfko proposed. I can answer that no vehicles ( exept the power supply ) is waiting an aicraft. And this at each ramp. Only static vehicles are displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi wolfko, I started from Ramp 7 and there was nothing there except the ground power as usual, even when I requested it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
