GSX - A new product from FSDT - Ground Services X
aircanadajet:
I am so happy!!!!!!!!!! The flying experience just got better!!!!! You have earn a loyal fan !!!
virtuali:
A short note, the video is somewhat jerky at times, but that's entirely due to Fraps (I bought it yesterday and haven't found the time to configure it properly to not affect fps too much). In the sim, it's absolutely smooth, and animations are really fluid.

We thought about this but, the main issue is many services are dependent from each other and there are several logical constraints between them like, for example, if you request a refueling when your passengers are still on board or are still boarding, you can, but it will first call the fire brigades so, it's somewhat difficult to just switch off a single service.

Ah, I understand. GSX is sounding very clever and detailed. :)
It's that I believe that AES will automatically perform certain actions without having to call for them - such as have the marshaller present, send airstairs if a jetway is not present or extend a jetway, etc. I'm not sure of the entire list.
So if it becomes a question of "do I run AES or GSX at a given airport?" then the already existing AES menu can handle that.
Now I wonder if GSX would also handle the thumpthumpthump of the centerline runway lights? ;)
ESzczesniak:
I'm curious if you could expand a bit more on how the AFCAD is used. Honestly at this time, about the only thing I am using AES for is realistic pushback. It would seem that if you're reading out of an AFCAD, there might be a possibility of interacting with pushback for a smoother interaction rather than the default 1,2,1,2 dance? I don't really care so much about realistic paths for pushback, but would just like to be able to say 1) start pushback 2) I want to end facing this direction and then end up somewhere near a taxiway without having to judge when to push 1 or 2. My sense has been that many people feel the same way and in large part this is why AES still has a role in FSX (the jetways and vehicles, particularly now, or not terribly useful anymore).

Yes, Oliver knows about this for a long time (more than a year) and we agreed that, as long we are producing FS9 sceneries, we'll still support AES and will not do anything special to prevent it, even in FSX.
We don't want to force anyone using our product, there might be some things that AES does better, since each single supported airport is individually tweaked (which is both the best *and* the worse AES feature), our approach is different, and it's all geared to supporting every possible airport right from the start.

Thanks Umberto, it is so great to hear about different developers working together. I am very jealous of the new product!! ;)
