GSX 1.9 Update - De-Icers!
omitchell:
I can't even install this into FSX Steam Edition or P3D v2.5. It hangs "Copying Local Couatl Updater Executable" and will not go any further. 2 boxes flash up and vanish rapidly when it reaches this point and it won't progress.
Clean install and run as admin has no effect, same issue (And there is no anti-virus)

Hi all,
After a long time, I finally have a new laptop and hence I have re-installed the latest version of GSX. I must say I am very impressed and very pleased with the development of this program!
The De-Icers are a very nice addition to the services. although I have a comment about them.
The De-Icers are treating my wings from the training edge side. That is prohibited, as the fluid would be able to penetrate the wings more easily. Also, just aft of the leading edge is the most important part to de-ice. It is also mandatory to start at the wing tip and work your way down in a S-spray movement. so Leading edge to trailing edge, tip to root. only exceptions are the Anhedral wing aeroplanes. for example, the 146 Jumbolino would have the spray from the root to the tip.
Here is a video of the spray methode
There are two methodes, ramp de-icing which is already modelled, and remote de-icing. where the aeroplane taxies to a remote platform and get the treatment there with the engines running. This is the preffered method because of the short hold-over times of the type 1 fluid, (which is the cheapest!)
Back in 2008-2009 it was my job to supervise the de-icing at Schiphol. It's nice to see this important feature in FSX
Keep up the good work!

They are made like that to overcome possible issue with other conflicting vehicles, since GSX vehicles don't have any awareness of other vehicle or each other.

Remote deicing pad are a feature which has been discussed and answered so many times on the forum, and it's planned for inclusion in a future version.
