Any chance for deeper GSX integration?
-
One of the most sought after experiences for me in flight simulation is full integration with GSX the way the FSLabs Airbuses and the Leonardo Maddog have.
For those who haven't used either product, the aircraft is connected to GSX, since that GSX can pull down your Simbrief OFP, when you request fuel in GSX your plane is fueled to the OFP amount, when you request boarding the boarding animation plays and weight is incrementally loaded to your plane as the passenger boarding and baggage loading animations run, until all are complete and you now have a plane loaded per your OFP.
The immersion this provides is incredible, and based on a few conversations I've had with the Leonardo developer he made it seem like developers can tie into GSX basically on their own without any special intervention from the GSX developer.
It is, of course, also optional -- users of those products who don't have GSX or don't want to use GSX for that purpose are able to load the aircraft normally.
All of that to ask the JF devs, is there any chance of that being implemented in the future for the F28, please? (and if so, the same request would apply to the BAE, the F70/100, etc.)

Somewhat related to that topic:
Internal support for the Fokkers has been announced here: Version 2.6.5 – July 16th, 2023

@woolies It's certainly fussy and Umberto, the developer, can be extremely difficult to deal with when you ask for support. However, as a long time user, most of what people thing are bugs are just people not understanding how it works.
If you take the time to understand how it works and have profiles installed for your aircraft and airports, it works very well, and I can't imagine not having it.
An argument could be made that it shouldn't have the learning curve that it does, but I'd say the curve isn't as bad as it seems, and once you're over it you kind of never have to think about it again other than keeping profiles updated as creators refine them.

With the new GSX 2.6.5 "GSX Pro NEW: Added internal support for Justflight F28." - do we need to download the GSX profiles found here ? :

With both the JF and new (last update) FSDT profiles I had consistent issues iwth continual prompts to open "exit 2". On looking in the airplane config, it appeared to be assigned against the service door. When I changed that door to "no exit" it seemed to clear the prompting. However, I still needed to open that door to allow cargo loading to actually happen - until then, the belt was sat ready to go but would not start.
I also found the progressive fuel loading would load left tank correctly but stop early on the right.
To be certain, I'm going to delete and reinstall GSX and then use the JF override so it's hopefully a known baseline to discuss here. Will update later.
