GSX no longer removes the MSFS 2024 default GSE vehicles?
« on: August 17, 2025, 11:11:08 am »
Hi, I have noticed that GSX no longer removes the default MSFS 2024 GSE vehicles? Is that a known issue or by design? Because it sometimes creates issues on some airports where default MSFS vehicles are intersecting with the chosen stand in the GSX, even when for example they are spawn for an adjacent stand.

Would it be possible to remove all GSE vehicles on an airport, when using GSX? Or at least giving it as a toggleable option.

Surely GSX removes default ground vehicles in MSFS 2024, just tried it and it works.

There has been a change not long ago, caused by a change in MSFS 2024 where they fixed a bug we reported 3 years ago in MSFS 2020, and it was that jetways weren't present in the list of Simobjects when asking the "ALL" objects category, we needed this *before* the SU12 Navdata API update where better methods to detect jetways were added. So, even if we didn't need that, this bug was fixed in MSFS 2024 SU2, and this caused GSX removing jetways when activated, because now jetway DO appear in the list of Simobject when using the "ALL" category.

Because of this change, we had to update GSX that, instead of searching "ALL" objects in a gate, it will only ask for those flagged as "Aircraft" or "GroundVehicle", to prevent removing jetways and possibly other objects from the scenery. This might result in some objects that might have been removed before, not not being removed anymore, but of course we must use this method, to prevent removing jetways, so the change was necessary following the change in the sim.

I've noticed that the GSE which remains is actually for a different stand than I select, based on some probably random choice made by the default MSFS ATC.

Would it be possible that you are removing only the GSX on/or in the vicinity, of the stand selected in GSX?

To clarify why I have noticed this difference. I was flying lately to an airport where there are taxi-out stands and the GSE vehicles were basically blocking me from taxiing.

If you are removing only the GSE at the selected GSX stand, would it be possible to introduce an optional toggle to remove it for the entire airport?
