Ground crew marshaller lost his baton / wand

That is great news, great work. :+1:

One less MSFS frustration that seems to be of no interest to the developer to even acknowledge, let alone fix.

These is a lot to be said for "If you want a job done right, do it yourself".

Thankfully t there are members of this Flight Sim Community that have the skills to figure theses thing out, and share their findings with the rest of us.

Mod is ready, enjoy!

Many thanks for this Mod.

I tried installing it, but all my Ground staff were not there – probably my error, I will try again..

But I believe the layout.json may need fixing, as it appears to be one from the original, and not one that only contains the layout of this particular Mod’s file ??

The Manifest.json package file size may also ideally need to be adjusted ?

Yes there is indeed something wrong, I’ll make a new archive, thanks for the info!

I assume you have the automated layout.json generator program ?

Trying ti do it manually is very prone to error !!

OK it’s fixed, I don’t know what I did, I added the original files to the archive instead of mine… :face_with_head_bandage:

How soon before it updates on .to ??

1.1 seems to be totally mixed up with its folders ?

Re-d/l it. :slight_smile:

Has anyone got this to work correctly – all it seems to do for me is delete all the Marshalls with batons !!

MS-Store version of MSFS

Ah, but look on the bright side: at least you no longer have a marshaller with one baton! :laughing:

The other option is to sack all the female Marshalls that cannot keep track of their batons and get a duplicate set of Male Marshalls who do not loose a baton, and rename that duplicate set as Female !!

Seriously, have any MS-Store MSFS user got this to work ?

Ain’t gonna work, I already tried. Male and female don’t have the same bones names for animation.

Around 400 downloads so far and no complaints on flightsim.to
Works for me and I’m using Ms store version as well.

The mod cannot be responsible for your issue, it just changes the female lod appearance time so it loads lod0 before the baton lod0, making it not jumping because there is no lod change anymore, that’s all. :man_shrugging:

Thanks for the feedback,., I will work on whatever MY issue is, as it now seems the MOD is working well for many (if not all )

This is one of those things which should be an easy job for Asobo to fix, yet its still there…

Yeah I don’t think it’ll ever be a high prio in their bug tracker so we will be stuck with this one for a while.

Thanks for the info!

I know it’s banal, but I am so looking forward to this dumb bug being fixed.

In the meantime:

Seems to work .. I have it installed, and they have batons - so it does not appear as an issue to me anymore.

Thanks you Flobud :+1:
