The developers over at FSDreamTeam have not been sitting still lately. Over the last few weeks GSX has gotten a lot of updates including bugfixes and new features. Those new features are largely related to the cargo handling of GSX. The cargo loading system got a big overhaul, allowing it to use the third door on your aircraft. This was previously only possible at FSDreamTeams KSDF UPS Worldport.
Also updated is the editor system that allows you to customize your airplane and parking position/gate. There are also a bunch of other improvements, such as a ‘warp to gate’ function for third party aircraft, gate selection showing suitable parking spots and more. Full changelog can be found below.
You can get the update simply by running the Addon Manager Live Update tool.
