FSDreamTeam GSX for MSFS

GSX has no control over AI traffic, not even default ground vehicles, which looks like GSX (because their visual models has been replaced by GSX), but they are still controlled by the sim.

The only vehicles GSX controls are the ones you see after you start a GSX service, which either replace the default ones parked, or come from somewhere else (catering, deicing, water, etc.)

That’s a completely different issue then: the menu is not “stuck”, it’s just GSX thinks you are outside the parking spot.

This can happen with a large airplane that, the way it’s parked, its center of mass is farther away from the parking center than the GSX parking threshold for that spot, which by default is 25m but can be adjusted.

That’s what controls the menu you see, so if the airplane is outside that threshold, you will see the “Select Position” menu, which is the menu you see when the airplane is detected to be “outside” a parking spot.

I know this is picky but once deboarding of passengers is complete, GSX asks you if you’d like to deboard crew. You see the attendants, pilot and copilot walking out the ramp but you are still there in the cockpit with your copilot sitting next to you. Any way you can remove the copilot and have us stand up and walk out?

I would not be so sure about this. From couatl64_boot.log

Obviously after this GSX is no longer active and needs to be toggled on from the toolbar menu.

That the latest version doesn’t crash as before is beyond any doubt, otherwise users wouldn’t have noticed the problem of services at landing not being reset, which cannot possibly happen when it was auto-restarted.

In order to make it as stable as it is now, I had to fly completely back-to-back flights and PRAY it would crash, so I could catch the crash with a debugger, but in the extremely rare occasions it did (like one 1 in 10 flight), it crashed maybe once over a 2 hours flight, and it was always when receiving the Navdata.

Now it never crashes, ever.

In your log, it seems that it crashes every minute or so and that, not only is completely unheard of, but if it really happened normally, it would have been easier to replicate.

So, clearly, your reason must be something completely different, like having set some Compatibility mode when you shouldn’t, run it as Admin when you shouldn’t, or some real conflict with some other software we don’t know of.

Of course, this is NO place for troubleshooting, but if you could contact support, something so easy to replicate (for you) should be easy to investigate, maybe checking all the software you run and proceed by exclusion.

I’m not having crashes as such but I have had a couple of situations where GSX just wouldn’t unload passengers after landing and apparently it’s because I landed too late. I’m not sure I understand why that would stop GSX from continuing. It’s a situation that occurs in real world aviation all the time. When starting up the Fenix aircraft, if I set up a time in Simbrief that is too far in the future to prevent landing too late, I get warnings that the loading won’t work properly if the takeoff time is outside of a half hour and wants me to change the time of departure. This is not real life piloting. We have lives that dictate timings and real life distractions that can pull us away from our screens and mess up this delicate balance of departure and landing times. Surely software can be made to work around that.

You can always select “Ignore time” in GSX options.
