FSDreamTeam has provided an extensive update (v3.7.6) to its GSX suite of software for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024 and also FSX/P3D.
One of the biggest additions to the new GSX Pro update is the availability of the Mototok driverless electric tug. It is available in two variants: the 8600M for aircraft up to 80t/150k lbs of weight, and the Spacer 200. The airport customisation page now allows the Mototok to be selected in the pushback type. It’s good to note that you must explicitly enable this in the airport profile.
For those of you with the TFDi Design MD-11 or the iniBuilds A340, you will now be able to add seated passenger support. Support for the VIP version of the A340 will be coming soon.
What is interesting is seeing FSDreamTeam support FSX/P3D with a few improvements to the original GSX product. This includes the “Show me this spot” feature being backported from MSFS and walking paths improved for the pushback operator. There are some other minor fixes, such as ensuring the Aerosoft CRJ-550 is correctly recognised and fixing progressive taxiway turn indicators. The full changelog is below.
You can update now via the FSDreamTeam installer. If you don’t own GSX Pro, you can get it from SIMMARKET.
Changelog
- GSX Pro NEW: New Pushback service: the Mototok, a driverless electric tug that is operated by remote control. Available in two variants: the 8600M for airplanes up to 80t/150k lbs of weight, and the Spacer 200, for heavier airplanes.
- GSX Pro NEW: Airport customization page now has an option for Mototok in the “Pushback Type” field. The Mototok is never used automatically, so it must be specified explicitly by the airport profile.

- GSX Pro NEW: Added Seated Passengers support for the TFDi MD-11.
- GSX Pro NEW: Added Seated Passengers support for the iniBuilds A340 Passengers version (VIP version will be supported in a future update).

- FSDT Installer New: Activation would work even if the user running the simulator doesn’t have the same privileges as the user running the installer (always the admin, to create Symbolic links).
- FSDT KIAH Fix: AI models from FSLTL pack used as static are now injected with their simulation disabled, which in some cases caused side-effects on the user airplane with some PMDG products.
