Hello,
I used to use GSX (Level 2) regularly but for some time now it hasn't been working properly under P3Dv4 (Windows 10).
The problems I'm reporting here are still observed after the last update (2.9.0), and even though I've just tried a new installation.
1. Regularly, but not always, and even during the same game session, when I open the menu to configure airports, the thumbnails are not visible (see photo). I should point out that I've already excluded the Addon manager folder from the antivirus scan.
2. The pushback configuration in the airport configuration menu doesn't work: when I set Disabled, the vehicle is still present; when I set Towbar, GSX sometimes displays the Towbarless vehicle (and vice versa).
3. Less serious, but if I set Disabled for pushback, and choose option 5. in the GSX menu (Prepare for pushback and departure), I get an error.
I should point out that I've tested this at many different airports.
Thanks for any help!

Furthermore, after pushback, I have no "Return to Gate" option and the truck do not return to its initial position (and uses a strange and long path before it stops)

This one I can confirm. I started another post about it a while ago, but what I've noticed is the option is only available starting with the third pushback slot, which is a custom slot. The two default slots don't have that option.

Thanks for your answer. I tried a custom slot at LDDU (Gate 1) but the option to return to gate is not available.
Could you try to validate (or not) the other issues I reported?

Just to be clear, you had three pushback options at that gate and you selected the third one?

No issues on my end for any of them.

I tried with #3 on GSX menu (which is QuckEdit Pushback) and with #4, a custom Pushback slot... Same conclusion.
No issues on my end for any of them.
Thanks. I don't understand why these issues on my PC. It's very boring; is the company really still interested in P3D?

I guess I forgot about the quick edit pushback option since I never use it. And just to be clear, when you selected the custom pushback slot, you completed the pushback and set the parking brakes? One other thing to note is you need to set GSX, so that it asks you to confirm good engine start. If you don't do this, the option won't appear.

If any P3D product still receives updates here, it would actually be GSX, so yes, things do still get updated.

In fact, it works now that I've activated the Confirm good engine start option (I had disabled it because I use Self-loading cargo).
When I say it works, it's not quite true... I can see the option to return to the door, but when I click on it, I get the error message below:

Hello!
I've noticed that my post, like most posts over the last few days, hasn't received any response from the GSX designers. Do you know if there's a problem or if this is the end of support via the forum?
See you!

Hi fslogin,
Support is via this forum. I am not aware of a ticketing system.
Umberto is around today. He has posted a couple of replies in the General Discussion forum.
I expect he was taking a well deserved holiday break. I am sure you will hear from him shortly.

OK. Thanks for your anwser.
I can confirm that these issues are still active with 2.9.1:
- Regularly, but not always, and even during the same game session, when I open the menu to configure airports, the thumbnails are not visible (see photo). I should point out that I've already excluded the Addon manager folder from the antivirus scan.
- The pushback configuration in the airport configuration menu doesn't work: when I set Disabled, the vehicle is still present; when I set Towbar, GSX sometimes displays the Towbarless vehicle (and vice versa).
3. Less serious, but if I set Disabled for pushback, and choose option 5. in the GSX menu (Prepare for pushback and departure), I get an error. This is solved!

Any chance to have an answer from the staff?

Do you only have P3D4 and, if yes, is this happening only with P3D4 ?
-
Yes, I only use/have P3Dv4.

Need another information?

Looks like there's no more regular support from FSDT? And in any case, priority is clearly given to MSFS vs. P3D...

Well, of course priority is given to the sim where most of users are.
Not only that, you aren't even using a current version of P3D, and this issue is something specific to P3D V4, doesn't happen with V5 or V6 and doesn't happen with FSX or P3D1, 2 or 3 so, again, we'll check it when we can.

Thanks for your reply. This is the first time you've written that it's a problem: at least I know it's not just my configuration.
By the way, I'm sorry I don't have enough money to upgrade my PC and buy a more recent version of P3D or MSFS.
