SLC w/ GSX, Give it a Try if you haven't

[lehbird 48]

I purchased SLC a week or so ago and could not be more pleased. It is so well done and so in depth. They do hit you a little hard on the purchase price though... (Sarcasm there... its $22 USD!) There are many great things about it, but I think one of the best is the scoring of your flights. Scoring flights is nothing new, but most products require to to adhere to the scoring areas the developer feels are important. With this product, you as the user can decide what you want to be scored on and to what degree. 

Circling back  the title of the post, I purchased GSX a couple of days ago as the SLC developer states that it meshes seamlessly with SLC. I was not disappointed, they really do. If you own one product and not the other, I highly recommend you purchase the other and give it a try.

I've been vocal on this too--really well done.  As a user of A Pilot's Life, primarily for the scoring piece, what I like about SLC is that you are really immersed in tasks you and the FO must do to make it all come to pass--you can't just concern yourself with piloting the plane.  I also use it with GSX and they work together quite well once you understand how to do it.  I find SLC has kept me focused on nearly the entire flight, whereas w/ APL it was get up to cruise then go find something to do for an hour or 4.  You can still break away no problem, and the automation option is fabulous--and only requires mere right-click on one spot.  It's remarkably trouble-free despite needing to be so tied to so much in the sim.  The Dev get's an A+ rating for creativity, thoughtfulness and consideration of subtle details of the processes of pilot, cabin and ground crews--stuff I really never thought about much prior to starting SLC.  

My only peeve is same peeve I have w/ speech quality of Azure pilots in MSFS.   The Voice Packs, at least the American pilot's, sounds like more like someone reading a story to someone about what the pilot said, rather than having that authentic, natural, spontaneous speech you hear from real pilots in the RW.  That is something that can be improved upon, one just(!) has to be a good vocal actor to try to simulate a truly plausible pilot.  In fact, I would pay $$ for that because it would add a seriously greater sense of immersion.  The speech that the pilot in the FBW 320NX has is great, plausible, and easily passes as a RW pilot.

Looks really interesting,

Lets see now. Load TrackIR - Load MSFS - Load FLSTS - Load FSHud - Load APL - Load Navigraph -

Now add SLC

Its a wonder MSFS starts at all. LOL

I'll second this - SLC and GSX are a great combination.

Not the kind of flying I want to do at all, but thanks.

I really like SLC but I wonder how to add our own sounds... Before it was possible now in the new version it's no longer the case...

[roland_lfor 245]

You can build your own sound pack or voice pack, see on their discord, many users share them. And the author works on a tool to make the process easier if I understand correctly the recent january announcement. Some people build their voice pack using online AI generation tool, and it sounds very natural.

Which aircraft?
I suggest thoroughly reading the following page, especially the part about FSUIPC and WASM: https://www.selfloadingcargo.com/support/knowledgebase/22/how-to-use-gsx-pro-with-self-loading-cargo

If that doesn't help, you might want to contact support (button on the website).

what about passenger2?

I think as long as the dev remains committed this will only get better but The SLC dev needs to get some flight attendants on his team to make the product better. You would think flight attendants are clueless workers with this product. They dont need pilots to tell them when to arm the doors or when to be seated for landing. Maybe its a EU thing but in the US they already know under 10K feet to get the cabin ready and then to their jumpseats. They also are the ones who normally close the cockpit door before departure and not the pilots which leads me to my issue where I get penalized 1000 points for flying with the cockpit door open despite the door showing green (closed) in SLC and locked in the FBW A32NX.

 Finally I have had to shelve it very recently as the GSX option doesnt even work anymore. The manual states to middle click the door to swap between options (manual door control, flight attendant control or GSX but the GSX option just isnt available for some odd reason. It still needs some more refining and this is why alot of people like the previous version more as I spent several minutes messing around with this instead of flying the airplane.

1) Yes, in Europe the pilots tell the cabin crew to prepare the cabin for landing and also to take seats for landing. But really, how do your flight attendants in the US know the altitude of the aircraft (i.e. descending below 10000 feet)…? Probably because the pilots make some sort of PA, right?

2) By the way the attendants in SLC do arm the doors by themselves, you don‘t have to tell them.

3) As for the cockpit door, SLC does recognize it on my side when I close it on the A32NX by moving the switch to „lock“. Are you sure you locked it? Because the VC will always show the actual door closed, because it‘s not animated.

4) You need to reinstall FSUIPC and check the WASM option. Then GSX will appear as an option in SLC.
