GSX Add-on downloads
On the subject of add-on airports I see loads of GSX stuff on Flightsim.to but a goodly proportion of them refer to a particular developers file. Does this mean they will only work with that specific airport add-on or can they just be used for the standard one in the sim or one from another Dev?
I’ve also seen a couple of items that only reference a particular model of aircraft - is that the same, you need that developers add-on?
I’ve read the manual about excluding certain bits in GSX settings but it’s not the easiest to fully understand and I’m not yet confident enough in the GSX mod to experiment.
So far I observed that mostly those profiles for addon airports don’t work well with the default airports and vice versa because simply the spots are at different positions. Or at least it depends what function you use - pushbacks are usually fine if not exact like with custom profiles for a particular addon airport. But for example marshallers are usually useless because they guide me out of the parking stand’s ground markings. Regarding the aircraft profiles… that I would also like to know. There are custom profiles for airplanes already covered by an internal profile from FSDT and I’m a bit confused if they exist because they were made before FSDT made their own internal profiles or they are just better somehow. I don’t know.
P.S.: I have also found that the services at default airports mostly work well out of the box provided that your airplane has an internal profile from FSDT or a custom profile.
In the end I’ve gotten everything to more or less work to my satisfaction EXCEPT DEBOARDING PEOPLE. They will float no matter what you do. There should at least be an option to completely disable them if they are this broken as they are so immersion breaking.
Has the updating process been fixed? I have no idea what version I’m on or if I should I update via FSDT Live or installer app
Deboarding works well for me (let’s say 80% of the time).
It usually is fine when using stairs, or jetways in Asobo standard airports.
With custom airport, mileage varies, but it is not uncommon the get flying passengers…
The problem here is that this is by design. I agree that it’s weird and feels obsolete but FSDT say there’s nothing to fix here.
Personally I run the FSDT updater before starting the flightsim and that’s it. You can see if there is some major update when you click on the changelog button in the FSDT installer.
Thanks!
So we update via FSDT installer not FSDT live?
Both ways are equal in term of updating GSX. FSDT Live Update on top of that checks and updates all FSDT products you have installed. That’s what I usually use because I also own most of their addon airports.
Thank you for the help.
I just wish I could even buy this products, been trying for about 2 weeks now, paypal doesn’t work, credit card doesn’t work, I wrote their support twice already, that didn’t work… running out of ideas to be honest.
Hi,
is there any possibility to let the MSFS GSX menu pop up with a key command like it worked under Prepar3d?
Under Prepar3d the CTRL+F12 key was the default command for that.
The reason I’m asking is that I have a hardware panel designed for GSX and Im using SpadNext to interface it with GSX in the sim.
Thank you very much!
Best regards Andi
You can try to use a different browser. Or ask on their forum.
If it is made for a specific airport it will most likely have different coordinates for things like jetway, asset locations.
You can always try a config and see if it works, if it does then great if it doesn’t delete it. Or.. edit the file yourself, it will take some learning but it’s always nice to be able to fix something yourself.
Okay thanks, what I suspected. I tend not to visit airports more than once or twice so I’m reluctant to buy extras or add a freebie to my rapidly filling SSD, even if I can remember that I’ve got it!
So I’ll just use the default airports with GSX for now.
Anyone else getting stuck on “50% full baggage loading” only the front cargo bay gets cargo FBW 320
When deboarding both front and rear no issue.
Secondly, GPU wire to aircraft remains even the GPU hss been dismissed? Anyone have a fix for this.
How can I disable front boarding (PMDG 737 and Fenix A320)? Since I want to keep the original jetways at 3rd party airports, I don’t need to see the passenger boarding at front door. I only want to see passengers boarding at rear door with bus or walking and stairways.
My arrival airports have occasionally been disappearing ever since I installed GSX. Departure airports load fine but handcrafted airports on arrival sometimes disappear. Just a flat piece of land.
Coincidence or some kind of conflict? Anyone else encountering this?
I’ve had this happen a couple times with GSX running. Also, from time to time I lose all ground traffic (don’t see the baggage handlers but can hear them loading the plane. Don’t see the “follow me” vehicles even though GSX says they are there. Stuff like that). Haven’t figured out what is causing it, but happens from time to time.
Still really enjoying this add-on in spite of these strange side-effects from time to time. Of course my wife thinks I’m nuts sitting at the gates for 30+ minutes watching all the ground activity and PAX loading up… 
Hello everyone, I need help with a problem in my gsx, at the beginning of the installation, during the first 3 or 4 flights I could choose the airlines of my stairs, now it won’t let me do that, as a result sometimes I am in LEBL (Barcelona ) with an Iberia plane and the stairs are KLM from Frankfurt airport, is there a solution to this or has something broken? Thank you for your help
Is there an option to speed up the baggage loading?
The passenger boarding finishes way before the baggage carts are done and it is a bit annoying.
