GSX: "You need to stop engines to request ground services"

Featured Replies

I keep getting "You need to stop engines to request ground services" with GSX even though both engines are stopped.

This happens in both the Fenix A320 and the PMDG 777

AMD Ryzen™ 9 9900X3D, AM5, Zen 5, 12 Core, 24 Threads, 4.4GHz, 5.5GHz Turbo
64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz Corsair Vengeance
32GB GeForce® RTX 5090 Graphics Card

Have you tried ignoring it and carrying on with enabling GSX from the handlebar?

I get the "parking brake not set" message (it is set) as well from time to time but GSX starts anyway.

Is this on startup or after taxiing in to the gate?

GSX reads the only thing that can read: the sim official variables for the engines. Some airplanes use a custom engine simulation that normally is supposed to sync their internal variables with the standard ones and sometimes they might fail to do that, or take longer than usual, especially when starting from a specific state (like cold and dark) so when you call GSX the standard variable (which is the only thing GSX can read) is still reporting the engines running but you might just open the menu again later and it would work, assuming the airplane completed its job properly in time.
