Good day,

 

This topic has been thrashed out long ago, without resolution. However, since both products cost a lot of money, one would expect it to be the reponsibility of developers to ensure when they say the integration works, that that is the reality. The debates around the subject matter were eventually ended by Aerosoft simply closing the topic, leaving, I suspect, many users unsatisfied.

 

My experience with using Aerosoft aircraft and GSX is that I can use the loadsheet, or GSX, on a mutually exclusive basis. If I want to use GSX to define the number of passengers, I must not load the fuel planner's loadsheet in the aircraft's MCDU3. Alternatively, if I load the loadsheet first, which is needed to program the MCDU for flight, GSX's request for number of passengers simply does not respond when requesting boarding. Where is the integration?

 

Perhaps the developers who were responsible for programming the interface, should explain how the integration was designed to work. If my experience detailed above is, in fact, in accordance with the design, then at least I know that I must choose which one will be operative in loading passengers and their baggage. Aerosoft claimed in their arguments of long ago that it would be sufficient to use the loadsheet, as GSX reads those numbers to calculate the number of baggage carts, etc.. I have yet to see this working according to those claims. The result is invariably that GSX resorts to default.

 

It would be great to have this issue finally resloved.

 

Regards.          

 

 

Hi,

 

Which product in particular is this regarding, and which simulator?

Hi Tom,

Sorry about the delay in responding. My comments related to all the Aerosoft Airbus products in P3Dv4.5.

 

FSDT seem to have a preference for MSFS and Navigraph's Simbrief and while I have addressed the matter in FSDT P3D forums, they don't even read any posts relating to P3D, let alone respond to them.

 

I don't use Simbrief for my flight planning. Prefer Professional Flight Planner X, as it keeps things quick and simple. I suspect that when FSDT re-coded to use Simbrief, it was given preference in GSX.

 

No matter, Tom, don't waste time on this. Aerosoft products work perfectly and I can simply ignore GSX failings.

 

Regards.
