GSX integration?

[piedmonitor]

Can anyone give an overview of how GSX and the JF BAE 146 play with each other? Is there any kind of integration like there is with the Leonardo Maddog?

For example, will GSX refuel the BAE and, if so, what settings in the GSX menu are required to have that happen (custom fuel setting, refuel progressively)?

Late response, but no, there is no proper synchronization between GSX and the 146. GSX has a default profile for it, but from what I can tell it has no control over door operation, weight adjustment, and even has a bug where the "arm doors" announcement will play on loop once boarding is complete, until you close the door yourself. You could choose the "always refuel progressively" option in GSX and then set your desired fuel load accordingly when the fuel truck arrives.

@lerno1 It's one of the "joys" of GSX how just about every a/c seems to have differences in behaviour. I know it's not solely down to GSX but the documentation (to my brain) is quite opaque and I find it maddening that once a request is registered there's no way to manually interrupt other than restart coatl.

Saying that, when it works it enhances immersion 1000% and I will always start it and kill it if it goes postal. If nothing else I love the pushback environment and on the odd occasion that fails I fall back to Toolbar Pushback - or at least will once Ambitious Pilots resolve the damage done to it in SU12. For those who haven't seen - he is back and looking to issue an update asap to fix and enhance.

We included full GSX integration for the P3D version of the 146 but it wasn't fully released by the time of the MSFS release or subsequent updates. We'll take a look at adding it in the next update if possible.

@martyn That would be fantastic if you can. If you are able to, can you also please give clear statements about how best to use it? Currently it's kind of hybrid behaviour in that calling for refueling in GSX does actually put fuel in the plane but I believe it doesn't do the payload. Of the payware planes I fly, the 146 is the only one that does this - the majority need me to set the target quantity and GSX then pretends to load that.

In reality - I'm happy with setting all manually and GSX just looking busy for the immersion but either way docs are always good :-)
