Hot off heels from the update for Prepar3d’s Hotfix 3 and the release of PMDG’s 747 Queen of the Skies II (which includes their own form of ground handling), FSDreamTeam have updated their Ground Services X to version 1.9.11. The update includes lots of fixes and several new features requested by the community.
Some of the new features include better icing conditions detection, which is now based on temperature + dew point, as well as adding deicing pads to Zurich and Chicago o’Hare. In addition to icing, the fueling aspect has also been further developed to a more realistic approach. For example, fuel starts refilling via wings further, before moving onto central and external tanks.
Further updates includes support when using PMDG’s 747 Queen of the Skies II and also the automatic detection of 3rd party progressive refueling.
Of course, there’s a range of updates that have been included, all of which can be found in the forums. I’ve also included the full list below anyway.
Like always, you can download the update through the stand alone manager and airport vehicles update, or just download the full installer direct from their site.
