Title: You need to stop engines to request ground services
Post by: bjratchf on December 04, 2025, 05:34:52 pm

An added feature needed is "start engine at the gate" - to account for times when the APU has failed/bleed INOP, and we're starting with external pneumatics. Trying to request pushback before I start and then starting doesn't help.

It's a feature we had from years in the airplane profile, page 75 of the manual:

Engines Start before Pushback

If this option is Enabled, GSX will wait for at least one Engine to start before starting Pushback. It’s normally used only with airplanes without an APU.

It was originally designed for planes like the Concorde that don't have an APU, but can be also used to simulate a possible APU failure.
