• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

ActiGate at EDDS

Hi,

first of all I have to state that I'm a totally noob on things like ActiGate, FSUIPC, etc. ... , so please post your answer in simple words :).

Today, I downloaded a scenery for EDDS (GA_EDDS) from flusipilot.de ( http://flusipilot.de/index.php?cmd=download&action=cat_id&a=0&c=1&s=3&seite=32 ). This file included the actual version of ActiGate, so that I just had to download FSUIPC.

The scenery works and ActiGate and FSUIPC are shown as "Modules".
My Boeing 747-400 is being recognized by by ActiGate and it says "Too far away" and "Stop", etc.. .

Now to my Prob / Question: When I want to dock at Gate 9, I stop the aircraft when it says "Stop" and the display is like this || .
But now nothing happenes. Shouldn't the gate now to start moving?

How can I fix the problem? Do I have to go on another gate, or is there a list of animated gates / sceneries with animated gates compitable to ActiGate?


Thanks a lot,
Christian.
 
Hey Christian,

Hopefully this will make sense.

Actigate is a module that allows scenery developers "read" the name of your aircraft, and based on that perform a gate movement suited best to your aircraft type.

There are a few reasons that your aircraft may not be recognised. Look in your modules folder in FS and see if you have an actigate.txt file (from memory that is the name). Upload the txt file here.

Essentially, if the aircraft is not detected or the developer has not made an animation for your particular aircraft, then nothing will happen.
 
Hi Nick,

thx for your quick respond.
I searched for the .txt file but couldn't find it. I only have actigate.dll. Where can I download it because it was not part of the ActiGate folder?
FS2004 recognises my aircraft; when I roll straight to the Gate it first says "B747", then "Stop" when I am near enough. So that stuff works. It is just the animation that doesn't work. Well, perhaps I'll ask the author of the scenery about if there are animated gates.

Greets,
Christian.
 
Sorry, my bad... the file is "actigate.ini"

It contains a list of unrecognised aircraft. I would check with the developer.
