Last weekend I was at SimWings Munich with Fenix + FSLTL and while GSX was working, it was working with a stealth mode. I could not see any marshals or vehicles but everything was working including refueling, baggage loading all the way till pushback - could hear the sounds.
It happened once and next day onward all was fine again,
Yes, thatās a known thing. There is a limit for loaded objects. You can help it by deactivating āExtra Ground Clutterā in the FSDT config window or by lowering your graphics settings. It rarely happens to me as well, last time with FlyTampa CYYZ.
Yes and yes. The immersion it gives makes it worth the purchase. And it replaces the default pushback trucks with one of its own, which you can remove by clicking on the FSDT config window.
Unfortunately a really buggy software. About 50 percent of my arrivals or departures I have serious issues which spoil the fun completely.
It could be such a great experience.
Issues:
after landing the menu just keeps showing the loading animation, but cannot select anything - resulting in absolutely no GSX services on arrival
jetway operation hit and miss, request for boarding sometimes removes the jetbridge, then passengers walk through the air
jetbridge connection to aircraft is depending on viewing angle, it changes as you move your view
boarding a nearly empty flight takes too long, as several containers need to get loaded
crew boarding option useless, not possible to disable that
everyday I have a āwhat are you doing, GSX?ā moment
on approach I cannot select the destination airport, as there are hundreds of GA airfields nearer to me than my destination airport, but GSX should now it from the SimBrief flight plan
many totally random issues
In general:
update mechanism needs some work, please check for an update before updating again and again every time
It is very frustrating to purchase and use a software in that state. Is there a public known bugs list and do they work on it?
This is a great list as I encounter almost all of these issues frequently. I did find that if you get the āloadingā¦ā on landing it means the couatl engine has stopped and I can revive it by starting the couatl app manually (have a shortcut on taskbar since I have to do it so often).
Given all the bugs Iām not sure why I still keep using it but I still love it when it works. I noticed more airport developers are releasing āofficialā GSX profiles and those seem to work quite well. Without a good profile for an airport or plane there are more problems.
From some reason Couatl program was terminated during flight. The fix is to start it manually from a desktop. Happens to me very very rarely now after the update supposedly dealing with this problem
It never happens to me with PMDG 737, Fenix A320, Aerosoft CRJ and iniBuilds A310
Thatās an MSFS issue, see FSDT forum
I donāt understand what you mean. It works fine for me
Hello guys,just bought the program and everything works fine but i dont understand how to get rid off the default vehicles as ādefault tugsā for exampleā¦i call for pushback and i have 2 tugs near my airplaneā¦and the fuel truck?idemā¦i dont have any mod for vehiclesā¦thabks for the help
Thatās might due to several issue, none of them are GSX bugs:
The airplane you are using ( Fenix ? ) might have a feature to autoconnect the Jetway, which it would be best to disable if you use GSX, since they might end up toggling the jetway concurrently, which would result in a double toggle.
The AI copilot might possibly doing the same thing, if is set to be in charge of comms
This is all related to an inherent limitation of the current SDK, which doesnāt allow to know for certainty the status of a jetway, the door is docked on, if it has docked completely or partially, etc.
This is all going to change with SU12, since Asobo has accepted our proposal for improvements to the Navdata API, which will include all data we need to work with jetways reliably, like their position, their status, the actual locations of the two main points ( Primary and Secondary handles Bones ), the parking they are associated with.
Apart for the MSFS bug that doesnāt have anything to do with GSX discussed in the next point, it should be said that ANYTHING āweirdā right now you see in GSX when Jetways are used, is completely caused by the current SDK limitations, but it should all be solved with the SU12 SDK.
This is of course something totally unrelated with GSX, happens with default airports using default Jetways, and has been documented and reported long time before GSX came out. Itās the very well known loss of sync between LOD levels depending on camera, which makes the jetway ālook disconnectedā, when it isnāt. Nothing to do with GSX and nothing GSX can fix either.
Because the airline doesnāt want to lose money by letting you flying empty, itās taking lots of cargo/mail instead⦠Donāt take this too seriously, please.
Thatās just not true. Each time you call either Boarding or Deboarding, you are presented with a menu asking if you want to Board/Deboard the Crew, the Pilots, Both, or Nobody.
Thatās an interesting suggestion, we might just place the destination airport as the first item in the list ( if you have a Flight plan AND if itās range ), but it would be wrong to prevent selecting other airports in range, you might have an emergency or a diversion, they should always be available.
Iām agree with that. I had GSX in Prepar3D and it was a must have, and now it is a must have with MSFS. Is it buggy sometimes? Yes, but is not so exagerated as some people tell if you know how to configure it correctly. It worths the purchasing.
I am having a real bad time with GSX at moment see No pause menu+toolbar in VR - Bug Reports & Wishlist / Virtual Reality (VR) - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
As a VR user this is game breaking. Posted on FSdreamteam forum so far no reply . Three days .
I will have to uninstall the product soon to carry on using the sim .
If anyone can assit please help.
For anyone thinking of buying and a VR user please buy with caution until the fault is acknowledged and fixed . I am sure was working after su11 so a very recent update.Was not in the beta progam.
The one bit of assitance I have seen about not highlighting the toolbar between VR switches does not rectify.
I took the plunge on GSX. The potential is definitely there and I like what I see. Iām struggling right now with the whole sim object limit. Iāve turned off the extra clutter, reduced FSLTL and still get invisible aircraft/ground vehicles.
I have also found that closing out of the flight to go back to the main menu just causes hangs up and freezes, Iāve had to force close the sim because of this numerous times. So if thereās a way I should properly disable GSX before returning to the main menu, I would like to know.
After reading your post, I tried it again and, no problems whatsoever using GSX in VR, with an HP Reverb G2.
The ESC menu works and show all option
The TAB menu works and show all Toolbar items
I can move the GSX menu window whenever I want, and it all works, I just completed a Pushback with the PMDG 737 entirely in VR, started the engines while pushback was being performed, all working normally.
Some things to note:
Iām using the latest Beta of the sim, the AA 1 update, version 1.30.7.0, not sure if this matters, but better to be precise.
I entered in VR mode as soon the Main Menu loaded, not after entering the flight.
I didnāt use VR controllers, left them powered off, so Iām using only the mouse for everything.
