Hello Umberto,
i went thru the several threads about the "issues" after installing the update which came along with the MSFS release of GSX. I´ve learned that most, maybe all?, known issues are fixed, but i´am not sure. I´ve read also a lot of "negative energy" in some posts which i don´t want to read about, because i´am a positive person and appreciate your effords to constantly develop GSX for P3d still free of charge, but i have payed for the product only once at the beginning. :D

I have not used my SIM over the last two weeks and now i´am asking myself, what if i get the message to update my GSX? Shall i confirm and update or do you recommend to wait unless you have takled all issues? Or is the automatic onlineupdate blocked presently anyway, to prevent from getting issues with the current running perfectly non-updated Version?

Greetings
Bernd

Ignore it. I would seriously wait at least a couple of weeks.

I just select the do not update option when starting GSX. Seems the safest thing to do right now.

Sadly i have totally removed GSX from my system as i cannot trust it anymore and will wait a good few weeks untill the addon is stable again before reinstalling,i was suffering CTDs(after not experiencing any for well over a year)amongst the other issues with GSX installed after the disaterous update now its removed no CTDs,no issues and im more than happy using SODE jetways and UGCX for pushback,fingers crossed that GSX will return to its former glories one day,until that day it will not be a part of my flight sim.

I’m with you.  We paid good money for a previously great product, we cannot accept the latest updates as a reflection  . . It’s to go away on my sim as well.  A sad day.

Umberto, could you please reply to this thread.  I used the workaround Addon Manager - GSX works in MSFS, but not it P3d v5.3: fuel truck arrives, but just sits there with no animation of refueling process, boarding is not working.

We have paid money for a product that work almost flawlessly in P3d until GSX Pro.  Now it's messed up. 

Please fix  this mess.

Refueling is confirmed to be working:

Just wanted to report that I've seen some progress on my system. I updated a short time ago, I'm on p3dv5.

I loaded the Aerosoft a333 at FSDT KORD V2. I configured the fuel and pax/cargo loads and called for fuel. The in-ground fueling truck arrived and loaded the requested amount. Prior to the fuel truck leaving a requested catering. Catering arrived, but the fuel truck did not leave although the process was finished. Catering was near complete when I requested boarding. The catering and fuel trucks all left while the baggage was on the way. I requested pushback when pax and baggage completed. The tug came and pushback was completed.

The only issue I saw during this process was the pushback beginning and end bouncing the aircraft a bit. This would cause PACX to freak out and lower pax satisfaction. However, I'm glad to see GSX working again on my system.

Your doesn't work because you haven't applied the latest update. Run the FSDT Live Update now, please so, if your question was the refuel and the 3rd party SODE jetways, those have been fixed already a couple of days ago.

Today we fixed the menu with wrong labels on FSDT airports, and we'll look into other generic issues related to .INI files, the other issue I'm aware of, is a problem with the Marshaller distance readout in P3D V5, which will also looked at later on.

I just ran it.  It said it was doing Step 1,2 and 3 of 37 for GSX Pro.  Jumped then to step 5 and quit.  Tried several more times,  same thing.
