3.5.3: no auto door opening

[Flare]

This still doesn't seem to be working properly in 3.5.4. I had to manually enter fuel, and manually open and close doors. Log file attached

It is also not working for me. I am running version 3.5.4 Uninstalled and reinstalled the GSX.

The issue with PMDG automation has already fixed with an hotfix we released yesterday, it will be noted in the release notes for the next version, but the fix is already up and it works, after you perform an update CHECK.

Sorry to contradict , but it is not fixed. Today I have uninstall and reinstall GSX, because I have the pink texture issue (witch was solved by reinstalling GSX), but the PMDG door automation still does not work. I guess reinstalling today , was also with the hotfix, so it was not fixed nothing. Is useless that you say that the hotifx was release yesterday, when people is talling you today 31/05/2025 that the automation door for PMDG is not working.

Run a Check again now. The FMC buttons worked, but the door automation didn't. Now they both work.

Yes it works now. Still there is an issue yet. As you know PMDG 737, for some unknown reason, when you spawn at the gate with jetway, it show you from cold and dark the L1 stair. Before update, GSX was capable to remove the stair, because understand that you have a jetway. Now , open the doors as it should, connect the jetway , but don t remove the stairs, have to remove manual  in FMC telling that is a jetway. Guess need another fix

from cold and dark the L1 stair. Before update, GSX was capable to remove the stair, because understand that you have a jetway.

On the 737, GSX uses the 2nd FMC to remove the stairs, and in cold and dark, it has no power until you turn at least the battery on. If the FMC is not powered, neither GSX nor you can push its buttons, but the change from using the 2nd FMC from the first one happened long before this update, so I can't see how GSX could have possibly been able to use an unpowered FMC.

I guess we might "fix" this by checking first if there's any power (real cold and dark), and in that case use the 1st FMC instead, but never had this logic before.

The reason why the PMDG 737 stars in cold and dark on a gate with a jetway with a stair attached might be a quirky, but you should be able to prevent it, by sending away they stairs manually once, then Save this as a new custom cold and dark preset, which you can also make as default or not, if you want. If the save state works as it's supposed to, you will never start with the stairs attached.

My logic flow to star a flight: spawn at the gate, power the batteries and the ground power, and then after call GSX. So before the update, GSX removed the stair attached. I didn t change the flow of power the aircraft. But anyway, I know I can save a cold and dark state in PMDG without stairs attached. The reason I didn t do it until now, was because GSX was more intelligent then PMDG, and remove the stairs. What I was intend to say, is that now, it doesn t even with the second FMC powered up.
