GSX in MSFS 2024 FAQ
« on: November 21, 2024, 05:40:29 pm »
We'll try to keep this post updated with the latest informations:

1) Please do not report issues about Jetways, GSX has NO effect on Jetways, nothing bad happening with jetways has ANYTHING to do with GSX. There are some differences in the way jetways work in 2024, so they require the airport developer an update.

Of course, as of now, ALL FSDT airports has been updated to fix all jetways issues caused by differences between MSFS 2024 and 2020.

2) Due to the way packages are Streamed in the sim, it's not currently possible to create a GSX Profile for any of the new MSFS 2024 airplanes.

This couldn't possibly be tested with the Alpha, since it only included the DA-62 and an Helicopter. Nobody outside Microsoft ever seen the new planes, let alone how they would work when streamed. The main issue is, the airplane is not installed in a normal way and the airplane root folder reported by Simconnect doesn't contain the whole airplane, just the minimal set of files needed to show it in the UI, the rest is streamed when starting a flight.

3) We are looking into new ways to detect the airplane used, so it would be possible for it to be identified by GSX and create a profile, this is of course something that is not affecting "just" GSX, because it affects repainters and modders in general, which are all asking clarifications from MS/Asobo in the MSFS developers forum.

A while ago, Microsoft showed the ability to to Download add-on packages instead of Streaming then, so it would stay on disk with all its files but, it seems this feature is not there yet, possibly related to the release of the updated Marketplace for MSFS 2024.

This means, for the time being, the only airplanes which can be used right now with GSX, are those in the Community folder.

4) For the same reason, it's best if you Disable ALL GSX replacement jetways in MSFS 2024, since the Navdata is not the same, so we need to update it.  You can still use GSX Airport services.

So from what you have posted i should by able to add the FBW a320 into the community folder and GSX works  if i load msfs 2024 with FBW a320 ?

MSFS 2024 won't load.

GSX only works for me if i load msfs 2024  STARTING ON A RUNWAY, NOT AT A GATE  !

Hi There, I have just purchased MSFS 2024, after waiting for the issues to get better, and have got the installer set to MSFS 2024; I have the MSStore version; have clicked 'check' on your Installer and waited for GSX to reload.

I then go into MSFS2024 and when loading into the Fenix A320 I see it on the tool bar but when I click on it GSX Pro will not load. I got the window popping up and GSX going through its load sequence, gets to 100% but then I get a "failed to load GSX menu, please wait and it may appear later.

Unfortunately I wait and I get nothing.

Would love some help on how to rectify this issue.

Same issue for me, I have tried everything possible.
Only things missing is moving to a new house and divorcing my wife but that is not even an option.
It doesn't matter I do, solution is not anywhere close.
Plus the manual, a bit outdated I think 🤔...

The manual is not outdated, and the chapter at Page 97 explains all possible reasons for the menu stuck on loading and all the known solutions that are all confirmed to work.

In MSFS2020 GSX works alright, but in MSFS2024 there are several issues.
Pushback is not reliable, because sometimes the pushback procedure is not working until the end and the menu switches to the menu option as i where at the end of a flight.

Sometimes there is no connection with simbrief at the start of a flight.

Just so I'm clear (bought GSX just prior to msfs2024), it's normal to have GSX disable global jetway replacement for BOTH 2020 and 2024 when installing into MSFS 2024?  And is that an issue that's currently being addressed?  I kinda miss my jetway logos etc . . .

There was a message in the installer about that (alerting jetways will be disabled in both sims), and it's there precisely so you'll know it's normal.

Hi Umberto, for Fenix FS2Crew voice integration (requesting vocally pushback etc.) not working inn 2024, is it an issue for which I should contact FS2Crew or you may intervene? Thanks and buon 2025!

We haven't changed anything in the way GSX is controlled in MSFS 2024, if we did, other integrations that works just fine in 2024, like the Fenix one, would stop working too.

Good afternoon, I have disabled the airport walkways but the GSX also appears to me that it is loading and it stays that way, neither with the default planes nor with the Fenix ​​or FBW

There's no need to do that manually, because they will be disabled automatically if you use MSFS 2024. The message only comes if you have *both* MSFS 2020 and 2024 installed, just to alert that disabling in 2024 will affect 2020 but, if you only have 2024 installed, you won't see any warning, but BOTH Jetways AND Airport Services will be automatically disabled.

I can only confirm that, when both replacement Jetways and Airport Services are Disabled (and they will be, automatically), there are no issues of loading, which instead will happen if you don't disable both. Again, the will be automatically disabled by the installer unless, of course, you both have 2020 and 2024, you saw the warning message an decided not to disable.
