Moving GSX from 2020 to 2024

I have an issue with GSX pro in 2024 seating passengers. Everything seems to work, GSX wise up until then. So, when the passengers enter the aircraft and get to their assigned seats they disappear. I have my view objects set at 200 as I did in 2020. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way I fly in VR.

Go into GSX config page and uncheck the seated passengers next to the aircraft you’re flying and then recheck. It should work fine at that point. This is a known issue with the software.

Be aware that if you change liveries, you’ll have to go back and do it again.

There’s no need to do that, and there’s no issue with the software. It’s the way seated passengers are added, which is done by patching the airplane model exterior. This ensures the best possible performances (seated passengers become part of the airplane, so there’s no code required to keep them in the airplane), but requires the exterior model to be patched again if:

  • You add a new livery

OR

  • The airplane is updated and the exterior model is one of the updated files

If either of this happens, you must start the FSDT Installer again, but there’s no need to Uncheck/Check Seated passengers, it’s enough entering the Config page, because just doing that will refresh all exterior models for all airplanes that have the Seated Passengers enabled.

Thanks for that! Appreciate the info.

Thanks @Umberto67, I have since removed FS2020.
