pero | JeeHell EXT PWR by GSX

[capt_pero]

Just want to inform you, that I created a new freeware LUA Script.

This LUA Script is compatible with FSX and P3D and works with FSDT Ground Services X (GSX) and JeeHell FMGS. If you don’t use both of them this script is useless for you.
The Script detects if GSX is in BOARDING, DEBOARDING, CATERING or REFUELING process (must be started by user) and set the „EXT PWR“ LED in the overhead to „AVAIL“. Pressing the Button force the „EXT PWR“ to „ON“.

If the GSX Pushback is requested, the script disconnects „EXT PWR“ (make sure APU or Engines are running before ELEC EXT PWR is disconnected).

Please find download and install instructions on my website:

Sure. I am very happy about some feedback. Yesterday I did an online flight with the script. Works perfectly...

Thanks for this - I gave up on GSX after there was no further development to allow for remote trigger action, and/or keyboard presses.

The visual immersion is destroyed when you have to use the P3D menu.

Thanks for the script worked great for me
To make it even better is it possible to trigger a sound eg (external power plugged in) and also
(External power out) this is what the captain here if it is possible
Thanks again
Mike

Further to OmniAtlas post it is a shame that remote control of GSX is not forthcoming from FSDT and AES is not compatible with P3D and Windows 10. I agree it is rather silly to have messages in the windscreen for home cockpit drivers. I don't have the technical know how to develop an interface but it would be nice if someone with the expertise could produce an interface. I seem to remember that the AES interface was developed independently.
of course purists could point out that pilots in a cockpit can't see a lot of the stuff going on around the aircraft without opening up an outside view!

Barry I got tired of waiting for a solution so I just assigned shift p to a joystick button in FSUIPC and used an unused pedestal push button (such as the door lock switch or vide output button)

Why don't you use the ADIRS buttons to set GSX? I have "ENT" to open the GSX Dialog and "0-9" for the dialog. Very easy.

[Barrykensett]

I have buttons programmed to select the menus, that us not the issue. I just don't like the messages appearing in my scenery. With AES I used a services screen to display the messages

You can just see the screen on the left of the cockpit like a tablet which is where I also handle vpilot, active sky, charts etc.

I did some tinkering on the weekend.
The script now opens / closes the doors to match GSX Action:

• BOARDING ACTIVE = FWD L, AFT L and CARGO (both) open
• BOARDING COMPLETED = FWD L, AFT L and CARGO (both) close
• DEBOARDING ACTIVE = FWD L, AFT L and CARGO (both) open
• DEPARTURE ACTIVE = ALL DOORS close
• CATERING ACTIVE = SERVICE DOORS (both) open
• CATERING COMPLETED = SERVICE DOORS (both) close *

* Make sure that both SERVICE DOORS have no OPEN / CLOSE Check

=> GSX> Customize Aircraft> Service 1 & 2> "Door without open / close Checks"

I will test it a bit and release this version soon.
