Third GSX Preview in MSFS: Airport Customization
Erwin06:
That's great news. It has been a long wait since the release of MSFS, I'm glad it's finally in the final stage. I know this has been asked before and there was no answer but, since it's gonna be released in the coming days I'll try : How much will it cost ? Will there be any discount for old customers who bought GSX for P3D ? Thanks !

Wow i cant wait for this to hit MSFS. One issue I wish PMDG would create a way to disable their Ground services to use this!

We already took care of that.
We have a new feature called "Aircraft Handler", which is a custom piece of code that can run only on specific planes.
The default aircraft handler, which is used by all airplanes that aren't specifically flagged to use a custom one, will just open/close doors automatically, for airplanes that use the standard doors system.
The PMDG handler takes advantage of the fact PMDG used a clever way to communicate events in their panel, by using a standard event not needed by airplanes, so we used that to act on the FMC (the secondary one) and do various things, like opening doors, or sending away all PMDG ground services, waiting for them to go away before calling the GSX vehicles. It's completely safe, because we just send a standard event, so in the end it's the airplane itself that will really send away its vehicles. We already support the new kind of Parking Brake which was introduced in the latest update.
Of course, this would normally result in having to wait for the PMDG vehicles to go away before you can call GSX, and it takes about 30 seconds. If you don't want to wait, you can fix it easily by creating a custom Panel State for GSX, which you can create by first sending away all the PMDG vehicles, than save the state, call it "GSX", and load that one if you plan to use GSX. I believe you can also configure the airplane to always load a specific Panel State at startup.

Sweet, So this can be done right now. I currently have My Replacement Assistance vehicles which can work the same way I assume. Its Close to GSx but I still want GSX because it has more service vehicles and Passenger animations!
