Hi wlbragg.
There is a quicker way to install it. You can basically go to
https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://gitorious.org/fg-singapore-scenery/fg-singapore-devel.git and follow the instructions. However, I do not like that custom scenery of WSSS, and I noticed that the nasal is kind of different/outdated when compared to RenanMsV's.
I will try my hardest to explain how I would do this. (mostly followed the wiki page):
1. Download all the required files from
https://github.com/RenanMsV/ramp-marshall. Place "ramp_marshall.nas" and "addon-main.nas" in $FG-ROOT\Nasal.
2. Place the "Models/Airport/Ramp", "AI/Airports" and "gui/dialogs" folders in $FGDATA.
3. Copy other files and place them in your addon folder ( I'm sure you know how to install addon so I am skipping this part).
4. Next, find out the "x" position of the center of your aircraft's nose gear and add the code"<ramp>...</ramp>" in the aircraft's -set.xml file (please refer to "Adding ramp marshalling compatibility to aircraft" section in wiki page). Remember to change the class value based on your aircraft.
This is the part where I spent a lot time on, I am really bad with models, blender etc.
5. Go to the airport which you want to add the ramp marshallers to with UFO. Place the ramp marshaller model "ramp.xml" model (it is located in $FGDATA/Models/Airport/Ramp/). Then make some adjustment to heading, position etc if required.
6. Once done, use the D key to dump the stg lines onto the console. Copy them to a notepad. Go to "AI/Airports" folder. Let's say the airport is "EDDH", then create a folder and name it "EDDH". In the "EDDH" folder, create a file and name it "ramp.xml" (or you can just simply copy it from other folders located in "AI/Airports" and make changes to it.)
For instance, the stg lines copied are
- Code: Select all
------------------------ Selected Object -------------------------
Path: Models/Airport/Ramp/ramp.xml
Latitude: 53.63324639 deg
Longitude: 10.00390615 deg
Altitude ASL: 12.8590 m (42.1882 ft)
Heading: -94.4 deg
Pitch: -0.2 deg
Roll: -0.0 deg
------------------------------------------------------------------
Then in my "AI/Airports/EDDH/ramp.xml" it will be
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<ramp>
<latitude-deg type="string">53.63324639</latitude-deg>
<longitude-deg type="string">10.00390615</longitude-deg>
<altitude-m type="string">12.8590</altitude-m>
<heading-deg type="double">-94.4</heading-deg>
</ramp>
<ramp n="1">
.....................................
</ramp>
</PropertyList>
Hopefully I did not miss out any steps but do try it and let me know if it works for you.
