== Adding Ramp Marshall Compatibility to Aircraft == | |||
It's actually very simple to add ramp marshall compatibility to an aircraft, the only file required to be edited is the aircraft's '''-set.xml''' file. (or common xml file for aircraft groups) The user is still required to use some kind of 3D modeling program to get the position. | |||
1. Open the Aircraft's model file (containing the gears) with a 3D modeling program and get the '''x''' position of the bottom of the nose gear. (Or the position you want to rest at the ramp) | |||
[[File:A330-ramp-position|framed|A330-200 Ramp Marshall Compatibility - getting position with ac3D]] | |||
2. Add the following code within the '''<sim> ... <model> ... </model></sim>''' tags in the aircraft's '''-set.xml''' file. (or common xml file for aircraft groups) | |||
<code> | |||
<ramp> | |||
<x-m type="float">-15.9664</x-m> | |||
<class type="string">2</class> | |||
</ramp> | |||
</code> | |||
The '''x''' position from the 3D model is in the <x-m> tag and the aircraft class is in the <class> tag. With the current models, the aircraft classes are as follows - | |||
* 0 - 747s, 777-300s, A340s, A380s | |||
* 1 - 777-300s, A330-300s, 787s | |||
* 2 - A330-200s, 757s, 767s | |||
* 3 - A320s (includes A318s, A319s and A321s), 737s and other aircraft in general. This works for CRJs, E-jets etc. | |||
This should be all! The ramp marshall should be able to ''recognize'' the aircraft and guide it to the right position at the ramp! | |||
