Does anyone get GSX working with the CRJ at a stand? All ground services are connecting correctly except for the passengers and the crew. As soon as they come in contact with the stairs, they get pulled up straight into the air and appear a few seconds later 10 feet away from the entrance, still walking in mid air.

I tried with or without a CRJ profile from flightsim.to, different airports, different airport profiles nothing worked correctly. 

I have never seen this happening, CRJ works fine for me with GSX. Probably worth a ticket / email for GSX support to see what's going on.
Also just to be sure hit "reset" on the aircraft customisation window (in-game) so any old faulty configs for the CRJ will be deleted.

Yes, I have same problem. Restart COATL Engine before boarding the crew and passengers. But on tarmac, after loading the plane. It helped me. PAX to the stars! Yey

@Chapstick

.... another great update, many thanks, looking forward to trying it out later today.

I've noticed which may be of interest to the devs... in icy conditions, GSX advises to delay engine start until after pushback. This introduces a problem because the 'confirm good engine start' message appears whilst the engines are still starting up and it's too early to respond. After a few seconds the 'confirm good engine start' message re-appears but if it's still not possible to respond, (engines still starting) you don't seem to get any further opportunity to respond and it's as if the menu gets stuck and prevents the pushback operation from being completed. 

Do the devs monitor these posts or should I report the issue directly?

Hi Umberto,

>> GSX Pro Change: Changed Deicing fluid colors to be more realistic: Type 1 = Yellow, Type 2 = Clear, Type 3 = Orange, Type 4 = Green.

you mixed up Type 1 and Type  3, see e.g. here :

Thanks for hat Mike!  Do you know to a technical document or explanation of the different types?  Sorry, scratch that request.  I found a few links below.

And the nightmare continues…after the update boarding of pmdg 738 does not work anymore. 

Doors don‘t open automatically as they did before the update. The program simply don‘t recognize the command because I also don‘t get any voice feedback.

Same problem here

Guys, are there any benefits for using this addon with GA aircraft and private flying, such as the Kingair... or is this mostly for commercial use?

The most useful of all changes in the update is "GSX Pro NEW: Added an option to Ignore the Departure time when using Simbrief."

you're welcome virtuali

When I originally bought GSX, on my first use I got an error telling my flight plan was out of date - HUH? I reported it on the FSDT forum and was attacked by other users, and especially virtuali for having the audacity to suggest that GSX shouldn't care whether MY flightplan was stale (and that quite honestly flight plan currency shouldn't be any business of GSX, and it certainly shouldn't block me from using it with GSX. I tried to explain that I don't always have tons of time when I sit down to sim, so sometimes I use a previously created simbrief plan to get up and flying quickly - from the responses on the forum you'd have thought I was the devil incarnate for even considering such a ridiculous idea. I guess I figured it was not reasonable to be forced to use a current flightplan created with a fake planning tool to use on my fake flight in a fake world - but there you have it, tyrants gonna tyrant. So I uninstalled and virtuali was decent enough to refund my $$.

I guess I wasn't the only one who thought it might be a good idea to not enforce FSDT's idea of acceptable flight plan currency.

I just updated GSX and am on my first flight. SWA 2292 KBOS-KBWI.

Refueling, catering, boarding, and de-icing at the gate all worked properly. All of the doors opened and closed on the 738 as required.

59 minutes before I can test arrival procedures.

It's useful whenever you want at least pushback or marshalling into a stand. Any aircraft light enough that you can just get out and push yourself won't need the program. 😉

You know you can edit the departure times on simbrief flight plans right?

Or change the in-sim time to match the flight plan?

Both are quick and simple. There’s even a button on the edit flight plan page to sync it to the current time.
