Like the other person was saying you got hardly any black ones & mostly alot red ones.. I handle luggage everyday & I see more black then I do any other colors & some boxes mixed in.. :)

LOL, yeah that was me. It was hard not too notice all those red bags, too many imho. Maybe red suit cases are more common in Italy/Europe, or it was a charter flight for the Cincinnati Reds, hence all the red bags, lol.
I'm sure Umberto and team can add some more colors before release though.

Very cool! ;D

Umberto,
You mentioned liveries that could be targeted to a region, nation or airport. Could GSX support liveries for certain objects per-airline? So if I'm flying an Iberia liner, I would get Iberia-labeled baggage trucks.
Do you plan on an API so that 3rd parties could - for example - call for a GSX fuel truck, be notified that the fuel truck has connected, and then tell GSX that the a/c has finished loading so the GSX truck could disconnect? Ditto for de-icers and other ground support functions.
Finally a non-truck related question - will there be speech? If so will there be the capability for multiple languages?

I must say, I will be sticking with AES for two reason: 1) I like the individual personalization on 3rd party airports that AES does (which you smartly noticed is the BEST and WORST feature of AES) and 2) I only use FS9.
But wow, this looks like a powerful product that I can only assume will sell very well. Nice job!

That's an interesting suggestion, it might be the lowest level of customization. Right now the customization is made by looking at the ICAO code of the airport you are in, with a pattern matching to a string in the vehicle SIM.CFG file so, for example, a GSX vehicle with a "KJFK" pattern, will appear ONLY at KJFK, and a vehicle with "K" only will appear in every airport with an ICAO starting with K. In Europe, one could use "ED" to create german-only vehicles. But yes, adding an airline specification might be useful.

This might be possible for us, but I somewhat doubt the willingness of airplane developers to embrace an API. We'll try to do things that make sense on our own, when possible. For example, the when the GSX Fuel Truck arrives, it will automatically trigger the default FSX Loading page. It will be then up to the user to use it or not.
