FSDreamTeam - GSX Ground Services X 13: A Review

If you are looking for a realistic and immersive ground service add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX), you might want to check out FSDreamTeam's GSX Ground Services X 13. This product simulates several operations on the ground, such as marshalling, catering, boarding/deboarding of passengers and baggage, stairs, refueling vehicles, pushback with realistic behavior, follow me cars, docking system and more. All these features are enhanced by native FSX animations and believable human characters.

GSX Ground Services X 13 works with every airport, both default and third-party, and supports all default airplanes and many popular third-party airplanes. It also offers easy vehicle customization using DirectX 11 (P3D4.4+ only) and a P3D4 optimized version with PBR textures and new models. GSX Ground Services X 13 has a user-friendly interface that is fully integrated in the sim using standard ATC-like menus. It also has a live update feature that keeps GSX always updated automatically with new supported airplanes and airports.

Some of the highlights of GSX Ground Services X 13 are:

Pushback: GSX adds a new kind of highly realistic pushback service, supporting vehicles with a towbar, with fully animated crew and a bypass pin simulation. The pushback works automatically, reading the airport files to place your plane exactly on the line, requiring only to choose an initial left/right direction. You can also customize the pushback procedure using the QuickEdit feature, which will save it for future use.

Animated passengers: GSX adds visible animated passengers to your flights, regardless if the parking has a jetway or a bus. You can see passengers, crew and pilots boarding and deboarding the airplane. You can also customize any airport to create custom walking paths for those gates that don't need a bus, with optional visible barriers (stanchions) in different styles. Passengers have individual walking motions with randomized gestures and variations for a more natural look. SimBrief integration will set the number of passengers automatically according to your last dispatch.

Refueling: GSX improves the refueling service with support for underground fuel supply using a fuel hydrant vehicle with a custom animated crew and a working fuel counter to refuel progressively with real-time fuel price indication. With SimBrief integration, the GSX fuel service can use the exact fuel quantity in your dispatched flight plan.

Deicing: GSX adds a new service for deicing vehicles during departure if icing conditions are detected. It uses the new improved MSFS visual effect system to show different spraying liquids with different colors according to fluid type and concentration. You can customize the deicing in and out points for each airplane.

Follow-me cars: GSX can help you find your way to your gate or runway with a follow-me car that you can call to guide you either to the destination parking or to the assigned runway during departure.

Baggage loading: GSX makes baggage loading and unloading more realistic with animated characters that use an highly detailed vehicle with an animated conveyor belt and several models of animated baggage carts. Compared to the default system, GSX can support two baggage loaders operating simultaneously.

Cargo loading: GSX supports dedicated loaders for ULD containers and pallets.

GSX Ground Services X 13 is a must-have add-on for FSX enthusiasts who want to enhance their ground service experience. It is available for purchase at FSDreamTeam's website[^1^] or at SimMarket[^3^].
