You seem to have a pattern of “if developer doesn’t commit (they do listen) to what I want, I will bash their product endlessly”.  You create artificial road blocks on yourself and then blame the developer?

So I take it the almost daily Windows OS updates you ignore?

It saves them as a seperate custom pushback option.

You’re right, I didn’t watch the video. Thank God we have people like you with time on their hands to enlighten the rest of us.

Just let the man work. Please.

He will always do whatever he wants to do I'm not stopping him from squat.  I'm being honest as a paying customer about what matters to me, and he'll ignore whatever he wishes to ignore as evidenced by the fact he ignored my multiple requests to make the lame crew stop walking backwards 60 feet past the plane when I use its option to stop the pushback at 40 feet.  I think Umberto needs honest feedback even from people not trying to patronize him, he deserves that.   I have said multiple times I'm sure most of its issues have to do with limitations in MSFS.  He has a total monopoly in this domain and I welcome options.  Imagine if we only had one plane developer.  As for PMDG, updates happen now and again and cost nothing, patches as it were, so I don't know what you're talking about.  

One of the other reasons I opted out of GSX 6 months ago has to do with integration with Self Loading Cargo which is the app I value most, far more than GSX.  It's probably improved in dealing with GSX so I have reinstalled GSX and am on my  first run with it after the long hiatus.  Things went reasonably well--the stuttering wasn't there thankfully during pushback and moving GSX vehicles, though one truck suddenly appeared and was propped up against the 737 but then slipped down.   The pushback female crew walked right thru the tow vehicle and not sure why but all of the jetways were not attached to that concourse at KDEN.  Maybe there is something I have to change in GSX setup for this issue it's been a while.

Is there a way to make the GSX menu, in 2024, STAY where I put it after it opens?  It always wants to reappear in the upper left whereas I prefer upper right.  We'll see if it's now a net plus here:

• Doesn't have startup issues as it did in the past for me
• Animation stays super smooth and stutter-free
• Integrates with SLC well enough

SLC covers all the basics of pax loading and pushback already, sans the animated PAX seen on air stair loading.  So really, most of what matters to me is handled w/o GSX, that's pretty much it.  So in order to really value GSX it needs to be very trouble free, and require essentially little to no configuration needs after installation.

Please--as said when I was using GSX updates taking around 2 minutes happened very frequently sometimes 2-3x/week which is why someone said they just made a habit of running LiveUpdate before every flight.  Maybe he's now doing these much less frequently I hope, or I'll uninstall it yet again.  Win 11 updates very infrequently overall, I don't know what you're talking about.

Your attitude is exactly what is wrong with forum culture. 

People are too lazy to do the minimum of work. 

Like reading a manual or watching an introductory video. 

We are not peoples personal search machines.

It's very simple:  I don't want to have to look for and install profiles for every airport I visit and they vary greatly.  IMO that should be what the dev should have built in to GSX before moving on to stuff like cleanup crews, etc.

In short: The whole thing is a you problem. 

I've using GSX since Day 1 back in P3D times. Yes, RTFM is mandatory or you will suffer.

Absolutely:  at the time I killed it 6 months ago it was clearly a net loser for how I use the sim.  I used it for a decade in P3D.  I'm retrying again now and hopefully there have been improvements in the areas I found troublesome.

There’s thousands of airports in the world…

You’re asking for the impossible. There’s no way to make sure it works properly for every airport. They’d all have to be tested by hand.

It’s not that hard to find and install profiles. Just use flightsim.to and ini manager for RWProfiles

Naw, what I'm asking is that instead of developing cleaning crews I would strongly suggest Umberto allocate time to do that.  Why?  Well:  because it would largely be one-time action for one person.  He could obtain existing profiles and add them to the installer routine.  As new ones arrive he can include them in updates.  Yep, rather see that than cleaning crews or PAX walking into the cabin of airliner.  

I've installed a few in the past.  This issue is just one of several mentioned that led me to uninstall GSX about six months ago.  I called it a 'net loser' because it was FOR ME:  what I got out of it started to over time not offset frustrations in using GSX.  I mentioned all of these already so won't duplicate them here.  

Part of this is what I wish to get out of GSX.  Even when I used it for years I never liked the arrival marshal/crew animation so would always arrive at the gate MSFS would normally use as I appreciated its animation more to avoid that and the pilot vehicle.  

After reinstalling GSX today I did a test fly and it all went very smoothly w/ I-Fly 737 MAX 8, figuratively and literally, so it's hopeful so long as the startup issues I experienced regularly have been 99% resolved.  And the integration with Self Loading Cargo was flawless.  They've hopefully both matured enough to address most of my concerns with it and if so I'm very thankful for their efforts.

Not sure I understand, you want Umberto to generate GSX profiles for 47,000 or so airports?  Have you created even just one profile at a moderately complex airport?

Lets be optimistic and say someone can create 10 fully tested GSX Profile per day on average, that's 12.8 years to do 47,000 airports working 365 days per year. This is what you want Umberto (a software engineer) spending his time on?

In addition, when the airports are update the profiles may also need to be updated.

Agree.

I really wish there were a “GSX Lite” version that focused solely on pushback. Something simple, reliable, and effective, similar to Better Pushback in X-Plane.

I understand that platform limitations might make this difficult, but the rest of GSX’s features aren’t essential for me.

Because of various issues I’ve experienced over the years, I’ve kept GSX uninstalled from my sim for quite some time.

I left GSX 6 months ago and yes I hope the updates are very infrequent.  My sim install rarely changes anything ever so no, I don't want updates that take 2 minutes frequently from any app.

better to have updates  than have none at all. If you don't want to update than don't run the installer  than.

Agree, I really don't understand what the problem is and why it is even listed as an "issue" by some, I update GSX once a month, period. To my knowledge no GSX update is mandatory to a point where it would block MSFS or even GSX itself, so why the self-imposed pressure to update frequently and complain about it?

Beside, we should be thankful to a developer for updating/improving his product constantly - at no charge - even if some new feature are not what we'd hope for. We always have the option not to use them if we dislike them.

As for GSX to offer ad-hoc detailed profile support of more than 24'000 airports worldwide, it equates to asking Asobo to, please, deliver detailed layouts of the same airports, and while they are at it, detailed buildings.

Just to add you don't have to run the extra features at all, the thing i like about it now is the map
