To which I replied, for the kind of services you asked, a screenshot really won't do it, because they really need to be seen in action. Videos will come.

Completely understandable. Super excited!

It's funny I haven't really been following GSX progress but just recently I was using PMDG and thought, "Man it'd be nice if GSX were controlling all this stuff" and figured I'd check fsdt. Glad I did, looks like even more functionality is coming with it than what I remembered in FSX.
I did have a question though as I'm not super familiar with GSX and what it's turned into with P3D, but, are you able to have GSX actually load weight/pax/fuel into the aircraft or will that still be controlled via the aircraft EFB/FMS/etc? Or does it depend on the aircraft like so many other things?
Thanks and it looks great!

Depends on the level of integration between plane and GSX I think. For example before it wasn’t fully integrated but planes like FSL take full advantage and integrate GSX. If we get something similar in MSFS with other devs as well it would be amazing.

Hoping it integrates with PMDG more than before - like progressive refuelling (like the QW787 had). I hate the PMDG ground support functions - especially the pushback - it's terrible! Good plane though.
Did GSX ever integrate with FS2Crew? I can't remember.

You could sort of simulate that, by using the "Always refuel progressively" option, which means the GSX fuel truck will react to the the airplane refueling itself, staying there for as long the fuel is increasing.
It wasn't perfect because, if you needed multiple trips of the tanker (not an issue with the hydrant), the airplane would continuing to refuel itself while a new truck was coming, and if the set quantity was reached while the new truck was still enroute, it would have made the trip for nothing and would just go away as soon it arrived. A "perfect" integration would have been the plane pausing the refuel process while the GSX truck disconnects and resume it when a new one connects, but that would need the developer working on his code, since there's no way GSX could force a pause of a custom progressive refuel process.

If you check my previous post, we found a nice safe and elegant way to integrate with those, with the new Aircraft Handler feature, which is a flexible snippet of code that can be different for each single airplane and gets executed in specific moments of a GSX service. In case of the PMDG 737, we use it to enable the new automatic door opening feature, and to send them away automatically the PMDG ground vehicles when you call GSX.
