[v1.0.2] No stairs available (ramp connection in the ATC menu)

[Erik]

Hello iniBuilds,

Thanks for the fixes of EGGW so far. Just landed at gate 61 and noticed the ground services are back. However, the ATC menu is missing the 'Ramp connection' option which brings stairs to the aircraft.

This is caused by the fact you defined the parkings with type GATE_Small. Whewn doing so MSFS expects a jetway and removes the stairs option. Can you please change the parking types to RAMP_GA_Large? This will bring back the stairs!

@richboy2307 Can you please pass this on to the devs? It is a common made mistake I see at a lot of airports... If they have questions, I am happy to help!

Hi @ErikThanks for the post. Yes we had seen this suggestion in your original post, and it was decided against using RAMP_GA_Large because of potential conflict with other AI and ground services addons. Unfortunately the missing ramp connection option is an on going sim issue/limitation that we hope Asobo themselves will address.

Thanks!

Can you please explain? This has never been an issue (in fact a lot of sceneries work as described). And for AI purposes it is does not matter. AI looks at radius, type and parking code. Also for other add-ons it does not matter a lot. GSX can be fully customized and I don't know any other add-on that might conflict.

And if Asobo would allow stairs at gates (small, medium, large) this means that also at gates WITH jetways stairs would occur.

@richboy2307 Can you please ask one of the devs to reply? Not everyone is using GSX and in my opinion default ground services should work. See the above post.

@Erik Thanks again for your post. 

The team has spent a load of time testing different combinations to make it available to no avail. It used to be straightforward (anything without a jetway) but now it seems something has changed since about SU14. 

 In short, the ramp system is bugged. We're aware of the issue but don't have a solution at this time. The issue occurs whether the parking is set to GATE or RAMP of any size.
