Function to calculate BAGGAGELOADER ANGLE TARGET

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if there is an already known function to calculate the required value for SimVar BAGGAGELOADER ANGLE TARGET based on the known hight of the baggage interactive point?

Hello @Kaiii3

This is supposed to be computed automatically when your ground service vehicle switches into the "Move_Toward_Aircraft" state.
https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Content_Configuration/Environment/Living_World/Airport_Services/Service_And_IdleWorker_Script_Definitions.htm


Any reason why you would want to override this?

Regards,
Sylvain

Hey Sylvain

I am working on Ground Services added via SimConnect to serve the injected AI Airplanes by AIG Traffic Controller, so far I was able to implement BoardingStairs as well as Catering.

Basically it is a full replacement for the efault services whiche have been disabled for the airplanes via the aircraft.cfg (we only use Pushback since adding that externaly for AI seems impossible at the moment).

can be marked as Solved, I was able to write a function based on the dimensions of the 3D model. Tests are showing good results and we are now able to include baggageloaders for our AI airplanes serving front and back cargo doors via SimConnect.
