Airdrigh75 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Hello, Is there a way to add aircraft profile to SAM Ground Service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 There are no profiles like different setups for the same aircraft at the moment. You can modify the existing config (xmls are in plugins/SAM/aircraft but they get overwritten in case you update. We might come up with a more comprehensive solution one day.

Airdrigh75 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 I don't want different setup for the same aircraft. I would like to add new aircrafts with their own profile. I already tried and add a new xml but still saying there is no setup for that aircraft. I guess the second line of the xml describes which aircraft belongs to the xml. "author" and "description" is clear. Where can I find the "acf id" and the "name"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) The ID is just the name of the xml file and name is the name of the acf file.Author and description are inside the corresponding acf.

Airdrigh75 Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 It doesn't want to work. Is it possible if there is any problem with dataref or other setup in the xml the plugin doesn't recognise it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDGstudios Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I'd like an answer for this as well, as I was trying to add a GS config for an aircraft not on the compatibility list. Where does the data go when you hit "Save Configuration" for things like door location, fuel tanks, and ground vehicle configs. I'm not finding anything new under plugins/SAM/aircraft.

Marten@Stairport Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 That's a bit weird indeed. It will be saved in SAM/aircraft.xml. From there you need to copy the entries into a seperate xml file and place it in the aircraft subdirectory. Which aircrafts do you want to set up? Maybe we can cover them too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrigh75 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 So it means the aircraft xml has to be in the aircraft folder too? I want to add the GS for a non-published aircraft project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 The newly created xml needs to stay in the aircrafts subdirectory, see the other ones in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrigh75 Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Ok. Now I am confused. Is there an option to setup new profile manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 That is the manual way. But you can share your aircraft with contact[at]stairport-sceneries.com and we'll set it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDGstudios Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) I'll preface that I'm running on a Mac, so maybe there's a bug, but I tried creating a new config, and took screenshots of all the coordinates. It did not save to a new "aircraft.xml" file under the main SAM directory. I had one previously that just had the aircraft type and door config done (which didn't load in sim), so I took that file, using the data from the screenshots, and fleshed this file out. @Marten@Stairport, can you look at this and see what I'm missing? It's for the AD Simulations CRJ-900. Unfortunately, I have to copy and paste the text from the file, but the file name and the acf id do match. If I can figure out how to customize Ground Services for a few aircraft, I'll be a pretty happy camper! <?xml version="1.0"?> <acf id="CRJ_900" name="crj-900.acf" author="Andrzej Borysewicz Dimitris Koronakis Kostas Koronakis" description="Bombardier CL-600-2D24"> <service> <passenger supported="true" max="76" unit_weight_kgs="80" load_speed_per_min="1428" unload_speed_per_min="1285" vehicle_dispatch_delay_sec="2"> <vehicles> <stair dispatch_delay="1" vehicle_type="boardingRamp" spawn_pos_rel_x="-15.0" spawn_pos_rel_y="-13.45" spawn_pos_rel_psi="-90" dock_pos_rel_x="-4" dock_pos_rel_y="-13.43" dock_pos_rel_psi="-90" precise_docking="true" use_manual_routing="false" open_acf_door_before_docking="false" use_aircraft_door="true" aircraft_door="LF1"> <manual_dock_in_points /> <manual_return_points /> <vehicle_anim_sequence> <animation label="deployed" idle_value="0" active_value="1" /> <animation label="height" idle_value="2.0" active_value="1.8" /> </vehicle_anim_sequence> </stair> </vehicles> <baggage supported="true" unit_weight_kgs="35" load_speed_per_min="650" unload_speed_per_min="590"> <vehicles> <loader dispatch_delay="0" vehicle_type="baggageLoader" spawn_pos_rel_x="-15" spawn_pos_rel_y="40" spawn_pos_rel_psi="0" dock_pos_rel_x="-3.4" dock_pos_rel_y="7.8" dock_pos_rel_psi="-90" precise_docking="true" use_manual_routing="false" open_acf_door_before_docking="false" use_aircraft_door="true" aircraft_door="C3"> <manual_dock_in_points /> <manual_return_points /> <vehicle_anim_sequence> <animation label="height" idle_value="0" active_value="2.282" /> </vehicle_anim_sequence> <cart dispatch_delay="20" vehicle_type="tug" spawn_pos_rel_x="-5.0" spawn_pos_rel_y="40.0" spawn_pos_rel_psi="0" dock_pos_rel_x="-14.0" dock_pos_rel_y="9.0" dock_pos_rel_psi="130" precise_docking="false" use_manual_routing="true" open_acf_door_before_docking="false" use_aircraft_door="false" acf_dataref_open_name="" acf_dataref_open_type="dataRef" acf_dataref_close_name_unique="false" acf_dataref_open_value="1" acf_dataref_closed_value="0" acf_dataref_anim_delay_seconds="5" trailer_count="2" trailer_type="baggageCart"> <manual_dock_in_points> <point pos_rel_x="-5.0" pos_rel_y="30.0" pos_rel_psi="0" /> <point pos_rel_x="-10.0" pos_rel_y="17.0" pos_rel_psi="0" /> </manual_dock_in_points> <manual_return_points> <point pos_rel_x="-20.0" pos_rel_y="20.0" pos_rel_psi="0" /> <point pos_rel_x="-5.0" pos_rel_y="40.0" pos_rel_psi="0" /> </manual_return_points> <vehicle_anim_sequence /> </cart> </loader> </vehicles> </baggage> </passenger> <securing> <pylon rel_x="13.0" rel_y="5.5" rel_psi="0" /> <pylon rel_x="-13.0" rel_y="0" rel_psi="0" /> <pylon rel_x="0" rel_y="18.5" rel_psi="0" /> <chock rel_x="-1.88" rel_y="1.32" rel_psi="0" distance="0.838" /> <chock rel_x="1.88" rel_y="1.32" rel_psi="0" distance="0.838" /> </securing> </service> <door position="LF1" x="-2.45000005" y="-0.340000004" z="-15.1999998" psi="3.10899997" /> </acf> Edited May 25, 2022 by SDGstudios 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I don't really get the problem but if you extract this file in SAM/aircraft folder it should work. Can't check the values of the xml without having the aircraft tAD_CRJ_900.ziphough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrigh75 Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 I tried too. It doesn’t work. It seems somehow the additional profile files are not recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten@Stairport Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Nope. CRJ900 config for testing available. Drop it into Resources\plugins\SAM\aircraft CRJ900-AD.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrigh75 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 I found the solution for my problem. The xml filename has to be exactly the same as the acf. Of course inside the xml also. I asked this because beta testing an existing aircraft new version and wanted the same immersion as with the old version. NDA signed and therefore cannot share more details about the project.

My aircrafts folder has a file for the FJS 727-200ADV so when I added the fuel tank information it never showed up in this file. After reading this I found the aircraft.xml file. I was using the Aircraft config guide on the website and it never mentioned this. Is there a reason an existing file is not just updated?

Dakota Pilot Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I have attempted to follow the instructions to add tanks to the FlyJSim 727-200Adv and ended up with this xml file. However, SAM tells me this plane does not have a valid ground service configuration. Do I need to add more services. I just have the doors and tanks. The documentation at https://stairportscenerieshelp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/77000515065--groundservice-aircraft-configuration-guide is pretty sparse. I'm attaching the xml file which is in SAM/aircraft. 727-200Adv.zip Edited March 5, 2023 by Dakota Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKinsley Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Hello! I am not sure if this is the place to ask about this, but I am trying to make a ground service profile for the 737-MAX8 and 9 for X-Plane 11, but I cannot seem to get it to work no matter what I try. I have tried copying the 737-800 profile for the MAX8 along with making my own (when I make my own, I can click save as many times as I want but it won't actually save). I have attached the 2 profiles I have for the MAX8 and 9 below. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as I'd love to get this to work. Thanks! Could not get it to upload directly so here's a drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/140JRxTEZ6lAOJl2z7IgY0FvVeP9Z0aFd/view?usp=share_link Fixed by changing description name.
