Do not delete anything manually. Re-download full package here. install to default path and put key back in C:\Program Files (x86)\Multi Crew Experience\ folder. Up to you if you want to overwrite the <Voices> folder, or re-download each voice pack and install. Use the patch to make sure all files are up to date. It takes about 2 GB disk space, even when all human recorded audio packs have been installed. Base install is about 1.0 GB Once up and running, you may delete the other installation folder. I completed the reinstall process, and re-applied the patch as instructed, unfortunately I am still not able to get the GSX pushback to start. I tried to follow the steps Burge was describing too in the recent post, but it still is trying to use the built in pushback. Below is my latest log file: Thanks for your help.

It's not Lvar related. Please tell me which airport and gate you were at. With engines down, did you at least get the ramp agent to introduce him/herself once the battery is on?

Sorry for the delayed response, been away from the sim for a little bit. I have tried multiple airports gates and ramp parking, same results, I am testing currently at KATL Gate D24.

I can get the ramp agent to respond from MCE if I give a command from the "to establish contact" list, such as saying "Ground from flight deck". Then I try to trigger the pushback by saying "Ground mechanic start pushback". Thanks again for your help.
April 7, 20242 yr Try this my good man, this is some of my script for push & Start, my FO does most of the talking pause=3 Notify=Ground mechanic from flight deck Pause=2 Ground mechanic from flight deck Pause=2 Notify=ground remove chocks Pause=2 ground remove chocks Pause=10 Notify=ground mechanic are you ready for pushback Pause=5 ground mechanic ready for pushback Pause=5 Notify=ground begin pushback Pause=5 ground mechanic begin pushback GSX should pop up then you will start your pushback with GSX cheers Barry Edited April 7, 20242 yr by Burge 737

He's expected to pop-in when engines are off and battery is on. You can hear ramp agent "Jane" in this vid. There are different agents depending on where you depart from. Their job is to coordinate with GSX. You can ask "Jane we need catering" and she will take care of the rest. <media> </media> In MCE user interface, go to <Sim> tab and check the green text is saying "on ground engines off". If it's not the case, it would explain why he's not introducing him/herself. Gerald R https://www.multicrewxp.com

Also, tested again using the steps Burge mentioned too, but I am getting the same results of the "default" pushback, no GSX.

Have been monitoring this thread. Thanks for reporting those two switches. This is an example of what happens when a plane is updated. They were working fine for ages. In most recent PMDG update, it appears the SDK no longer provides access to AircraftModel variable, required to distinguish which variant has IFE + Galley or just galley. We had to find another way to work this out. Should now behave as before with the new patch. Edited April 16, 20242 yr by FS++ Gerald R https://www.multicrewxp.com

April 20, 20242 yr when you start mce, does gsx start up after you should get gsx menu then disappear.remember both engines off. with this below your ramp agent should kick in then wait gsx pops up with wing walker hello captain. Notify=ground mechanic from flight deck Pause=5 Notify=ground mechanic are you ready for pushback Pause=10 ground mechanic begin pushback let me know what is in your scripe. its working fine for me cheers Burge Edited April 20, 20242 yr by Burge 737
