GSX De-Icers..........

Featured Replies

Hi Umberto, unfortunately still having the same problem after getting auto update today. For reference my push-back has always been set to "Both".

 

Cheers, Rob.

They do look nice .... (except perhaps the gray triangle emulating flow from the nozzle ... assume was done for performance reasons)

 

 

There appears to be a bug ... after the De-ice completes there is no option for push-back, have to reset position clear GSX.

 

Otherwise, very welcome update, especially this time of year.

 

Cheers, Rob.

 

Nice video, thanks. Maybe I am picky, but shouldn't there be liquid run off?

The baggage cars don't deliver bags and the catering trucks don't deliver food trays either. 

Thanks for the update, greatly appreciate the continued support and I couldnt do with out GSX

Actually, they do.

I sat at my computer waiting for a delivery of food and none arrived. I'm here all day and still starving! I believe his comment was sarcasm, because it would be difficult to also include wet textures onto the ground textures.

Well they've lost my bags hundreds of times over.

Actually, they do in GSX. Darnit, Jetfueler, you beat me to it. :blush:

Maybe precipitfx can do it?

I think the effect would be pretty difficult to achieve with in the confines of FS. Particularly because the run off would occur at points where the fluid would be building up on the trailing edges like flap fairing and the wing root which are obviously very model specific.  It sure would be a neat effect though.

 

My wish would be for an optional deicing pad in which you could taxi to.  We hardly ever deice at the gate at my airport and I think it is fairly common practice to use a deicing pad for turn arounds and gate decing on overnighters.  Perhaps an area users could define much like the way we can customize gates and things?

What about H.O.T while we're at it? :rolleyes: Good job GSX

Some airports in Canada have remote deicing pads. Is it possible to model deicing away from a gate?

Better if you would have posted this on the fsdt forum where you would get some results  as all issues about gsx or any other fsdt  related issues

On the FSDT forum Umberto indicated that remote deicing pads would need to be done by the airport developer. 

 

I'm guiessing that it is because there is no mapping, etc. in the AFCAD for placement of a remote pad by an external app.

I thought the effect looked a bit suspicious too. Last I heard Propylene Glycol is very slippery. Ethylene Glycol is very toxic. Probably should deice at the pad.

That's Ok, the cement at all the airports has been specially treated not to be slippery.

No worries as the drainage system in FSX is a closed loop system and special filters remove the pollutants and recycle them. Go Green, FSX!
