Future Possible Enhancements?
SUBS17:
How about a military version for military air bases and even a carrier version with hand signals etc. 8)
BTW ref vehicles for baggage should base it on aircrafts capacity and realistic load/unload times. ;D

Hi there,
Figured I'd add to this thread rather than starting a new one. Here are a few things I would like to see:
1. Container loaders for larger aircraft? It'd be much more realistic than hooking up a small belt loader in front of those large doors on some of the bigger heavies.
2. So far, I've noticed that the belt loaders only go to the rear baggage compartments of the various aircraft I've tried with GSX. For aircraft like the 737, A319/320, and larger, most ground crews would field an extra loader of some sort to make turns and departures go by quicker.
3. De-ice trucks of course. Ideally, with real-world driving patterns for gate sprays that are associated to a particular truck type.
4. The pushback procedure seems to prompt me, the user, to select a direction and push right away before the towbar and tractor are hooked up. It would be really nice to have the towbar and tractor hooked up, and then a separate command to initiate the pushback. This would make the procedure seem a little more realistic.
5. Wands for the wing walker (most airlines and contractors I know of require wands for these guys). At the very least, it would be nice if the wing walker can pull such wands out during the final marshal.
6. Wing walkers for arrival (having the eyes of the marshaller is great, but most companies have extra people watching the wings as well when a plane comes into an equipment dense gate)
7. Not sure if this would be too complex, but most ground handling companies and airlines also have wing walkers (two of them) stand and walk near the wings of the aircraft to make sure the wings won't bang into anything. It'd be nice to see something similar.
8. Make the baggage inside the baggage carts appear more laying flat or stacked.
That's it for now. Some of these suggestions come from personal experience working on the ramp of a busy airport. I can offer a few more suggestions on de-icing and how people and equipment typically move around. Some of which probably isn't plausible in FSX, but thought I'd throw that depending on how GSX develops further :)

I agree, GSX is amazing tom me (even though I only have the demo) hower container loaders, as i am sure you have already thought about) would be the icing on the cake for me on gsx. :)
Paul Humphries:
Note to virtuali.
Hope this post is possibly used to help you develop what is already an outstanding FSX add-on.
It should not be taken as ungrateful so and so's LOL
I'm sure you can take on some of the suggestions and I know many you can't.
If GSX never changed you still have a very happy customer not only with the product but the after sales support too!
Salute ^^
Paul :)

gsx also needs options to just request the baggage carts instead of the passengers boarding with the people doing the baggage, i know when you in a aircraft you still see people doing bags but they started that way before people start board.
also i think when you open gsx the stairs should automatically come to the plane because without stairs being how are the pilots going to get into the plane? or atleast make an option.
also the fuel truck need more models, when i call it up for the 738 at EGNX a small shell truck comes to my plane which wouild only fill like a quarter of my plane up and in real life at east midlands they have big shell trucks like this one http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=shell+fueling+truck&hl=en&gbv=2&biw=1366&bih=673&tbm=isch&tbnid=q1-LzGfvFL5SwM:&imgrefurl=http://www.truck-photos.net/picture/number5101.asp&docid=Ml-xKxiqh_MdLM&imgurl=http://truck-photos.net.s3.amazonaws.com/5101.jpg&w=735&h=551&ei=xec4T7rqGoyb8gPR99zPAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=188&vpy=316&dur=31&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=147&ty=76&sig=117727180881177706772&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=199&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0
also what would be a good expansion which when i was at palma when my jet2 came in i was in the window just next to the stand and seen people with jet2 jackets on, that would be a good update.
i think you should make more people to do more operations so like say when te fuel truck arrives and starts fueling you should make it so the person gets out the truck and put the fuel pipe in the wing. but i think you should make more people do more stuff even if there just standing around it would still look good and more realistic.
also make an engineer that just walks around the plane lol.
