He will Mike....thanks for the heads up.
Nice to see they are still keeping AFS4 alive, its a good sim, that I tend to neglect lately.
Mike , are there any ground handling addons for this ?

Marty, apart from the pushback tug, there is nothing from IPACS. Pretty sure brunobellic did some 'animated clutter' for AFS2 but sadly not all AFS2 can be simply imported to AFS4. There is a problem with orientations.
It would be great if we could simply plug in SIDs and STARs for the mobile scenery objects, but until the full Airport Design SDK is released, nobody knows.
I'll look at it again, just to be sure, but I think the only way at the moment is to create a track of 3D points for a service vehicle to follow. Making it lift up to a cargo door and receive a container, then moving that somewhere else is a bit beyond my skill, but at least the AFS coding is logical.
It would be great to have something like Camille Valiquette has done for that other sim.

Mike...
I've been checking this out as well ....but...how do you open the cargo doors?

[emfrat]

It's on the Doors page of the EICAS - I didn't know either until I read this on the forum this morning

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)
In the cockpit click on the EICAS door page button to display the door synoptic page. Then click on the door that you want to open.

Thanks Mike, will check it out.
How long before the MS boys get their new toy...or do they already have it ?

[Splitpin]

Mate, are you able to screen shot that EICAS page.....all I can see is "doors auto"

[emfrat]

You need to be on a parking spot, with Before Engine Start selected.

Cheers young Mike
