can we " please" get 2 new lvars
for door request? or a between stage in the current boarding and deboarding catering
currently i can automate "opening the doors" aswel as send the boarding request. whit 1 joystick button.
due too a lightweight cabincrew sound tool i make.
but " it stocks as GSX wants the doors closed. ofcourse i can ignore doors. but seems to me its a minor update to GSX that wil go a long way.
basicly a var info to know GSX want doors opent!

Sorry, but I don't understand you. Please try to rewrite your post in a clearer way.

the lvars for Boarding and deboarding, catering state.
example L:FSDT_GSX_BOARDING_STATE can i have a status for " waiting on pax doors openend and closed and for cargo door :)
for example 8 output means waiting on Pax doors to be openend :)
for example 9 output means waiting on pax doors to be closed
-
other question i send the request command to lvar
FSUIPCConnection.WriteLVar("L:FSDT_GSX_BOARDING_STATE", 3); but it doesnt work? im trying to bypas ure menu.
can u please advise?
i mean :) if i can by pass the menu. for 90% of the time :) it makes my game gain more realism :)

GSX manual, Page 68:
Checking the doors status
The following variables can be checked to know if GSX is waiting for a door to be opened
So, by reading both the Boarding status and those "waiting for doors" variables, you can achieve what you are asking.
FSUIPCConnection.WriteLVar("L:FSDT_GSX_BOARDING_STATE", 3); but it doesnt work? im trying to bypas ure menu.
Of course it doesn't work, and it will never do, since GSX is not made to be remotely controlled. You cannot entirely bypass the menu, but you can automate it using a method similar to what has been discussed here:

Thank you virtualy.
i wil investigate the 2nd lvar . i thought those where only for level 2 :)
because it says so at the top of the manual
-
new suggestion tough :)
i maked a work arround for automated GSX control. (my virtual crew) wil on certain terms activate GSX. services.
through virtual key commands. but only 1 thing we cant select !!
can we add one extra writteble lvar? FSDT_GSX_GATE ?:)
i mean 1 simple lvar. can connect GSX to any ATC program :)
Example any atc can give GATE assignment we can read the offset and transfer it too GSX :)
then we can just follow atc instructions til we reach our marshaller :D

It doesn't say so. The blue line on the left, which means "GSX L2 only" doesn't cover THAT paragraph.
-

As I've said, GSX is not designed to be remotely controlled. It works only from the menu. That, if I understood correctly what you meant with "transfer to GSX"

is that 1 "lvar" realy a big issue. (i just the data that u select in GSX for the gate.)
else can GSX get a function to link airline to "pier" for example
EASYJEt at eham prefers Pier H. that GSX auto select a gate at H?
whit 1 LVAR u open up ALL ATC and even the online ones possible to GSX
making GSX bigger then big.

i wil try again but i wil be nice and think along.
if u tell me what language gsx is written in il even willing to write the if else in proper code.
i give a solution.
read a .txt file. (any c# vb c++ etc can just edit a .txt file thats why)
if ( empty or txtstring != in GSX gate/park array) {
base operations
}
else {
selectedgate = textstring;
}
because the problem for me is. in the current situation
i am getting from atc my gate assisgnmetns and taxi directions to get there. (this solution wil allow the main atc's programms to activate GSX waiting at the right gate.
because now we have to go through a menu to select the proper gate. which at a small airport its ok. but on some larger airports it can take quite a while. (which remove per time more and more realism for me)
for the same reason i wrote a software from start to end which activates and act inside ure menu. by doing it fast enough that GSX is nothing but a hidden flicker that last les then 1 second on my screen. i have a 4 option button on my home cockpit to cabin crew and ground crew activation automation . just for the push so i can work arround that . but Arival GATE is a missing thing .
sorry i am pushing this but i am just trying to turn gsx more realistic and improved

As I've said, GSX is not designed to be remotely controlled. It works only from the menu so, in order to allow that, it would require quite a bit of updates.
If we'll do it, we'll do it properly, in a way that remote control would be generic, so it can be remotely controlled over a network, with voice commands, with an API, etc.
