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.

Thanks for your precious explanations. I was wondering if Follow me car will be used in the upcoming MSFS version and if it will be possible to choose multiple kinds of cars depending on the airport (it would be great, for example, to have the Lamborghini at Bologna airport!). Thanks

it's the addon I expect the most for msfs I'm ready to pay 1000 € to have it now. Can you please tell us an approximate date or is it possible to join a beta, I have been a gsx customer since fsx. Anyway congratulations for your work.

I do not think there's any program like that. Everybody is in the same boat karty3200 :D

Will GSX in MSFS be able to suppress the default ground crew and GSE, or will they overlap if you select a stand through GSX that happens to be one that the default crew/GSE spawned at?

When you select a gate for service in GSX, it will remove all default ground services there, just like the FSX/P3D version. In addition to that, a change from the previous version is if you want to select a gate that is already taken by an AI, it will ASK if you really want to use it, and will remove the AI if you confirm.
