It would be interesting to see if the GPU is really the one from the airplane or just the one from the airport. Does it disappear when you deactivate the GPU in the EFB?

[DementedCorn327]

Even if GPU is disabled in the EFB, truck is still there:

Regarding the chocks, even if enabled in the EFB, they don’t appear in the outside view.

I don’t know if the GPU truck is the one that come with the Inibuilds aircraft package or is a one that comes by default in msfs-2024 but there is definitively an issue with GPU/chocks toggle options available in the EFB.

[DopeEx22]

Thanks for checking, i have now looked again and i sometimes have this GPU but only when i am at a gate, i never have it at a park position, just like the pushback truck, so i assume that it comes from the MSFS2024.
The GPU switch in the EFB also has no influence on whether the truck is there or not.

And yes, even if you cant see the chocks, they will hold the airplane in place if you don’t deactivate them in the EFB.

[DopeEx22]

I think what we should see is something like this GPU which is the one that comes with the iniBuilds A330.

Also can confirm the missing chocks when startin cold/dark.
And toggling them on/off in the EFB doesn’t make them visible.
Have not tested if they are just invisible, or actually not there.

EDIT: ok I can confirm they are just “invisible” but actually functional

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

[DopeEx22]

Status with SU2: The chocks & GPU are now visible when loading the airplane, but if you remove the chocks on the outside by clicking on them, you still can’t move the airplane and the button in the EFB to remove the chocks is gone.

[MyNameDoesntFin]

Confirm the bug is still there.
Even if chocks are clicked (and disappear), A400M couldn’t move. Because this has also been removed from EFB, there is no way to fix this and the A400M is unusable when starting cold & dark.

[CONVEEN]

Pls fix it, we cant fly it more when its not rolling!

[Burrator]

If you use external control software (Spad.next, Axis and Ohs, FSUIPC etc) then maniulating the L:INI_CHOCKS_ENABLED LVAR, set to 1 for on, and 0 for off. Triggers the chocks enabled/disabled in the EFB, you see the green toast notification, and it seems to unlock the chocks.

[CONVEEN]

then there should be a command in the simulation for CHOCKS_ENABLED?

Hello, I have done some digging for you. This is a MSFS issue and has been known about for a while, but due to it being a Microsoft product, there is no saying when an update will be available to users. The only work around atm is to change your panel state. Thanks for your patience.

I dont know what there mean with “change your panel state”

[Kyle1496]

The trouble I am running into is, on my EFB, I only have toggle GPU. There is no chocks option for me. Also, my SimBrief isn’t connecting but, that’s a separate issue.
