The doors might have been opened, but if the plane is not correctly configured to recognize them, it won't detect they are. Some 3rd party airplanes are included in the GSX internal database, but if you are trying to use an unsupported airplane, since you only said "a 777-200", it's difficult to know if your problem that you tried to use an unsupported airplane without configuring it first, or you tried to re-configure an internally-supported plane and made some kind of mistake doing it.

The GSX airplane configuration page will tell you if GSX is using its internal database, or a custom customization, or it's lacking one.

The GSX manual, of course, there's a complete section on airplane customization.

The manual can be accessed in 3 different ways:

1) From the Addon Manager menu inside FSX, selecting GSX and pressing the “Open Manual” button

OR

2) From the Windows Start button, under the FSDreamteam program group, there’s a link to the manual

OR

3) By browsing your FSX\fsdreamteam\Couatl\GSX folder, the PDF manual is there.

Ok I got most of it working. I used the aircraft configurator and set the doors that will not open to the first option, no door checks. BUT one several airports both default and payware, everything-all equipment and the marshaller are on the ground. The tow vehicle is in the air above the aircraft! I did check the nose wheel settings and they did not need to be changed. Any suggestions?

That's because you are using an old (older than June 1st) GSX installer, which resulted in the "floating vehicles" problem when applying one of the latest updates, without paying attention to the release notes:

Either download the current FULL GSX installer, or the current vehicles update.

Jammerjonn:
Yes I bought it several years ago. I really like this program. I uninstalled it along with the vehicle updates and reinstalled the new installer and vehicle update. I also reinstalled the addon manger x just in case.

Jammerjonn:
Can you set a joystick button to do the Crtl+Shift+F12 command?
