Although GSX from FSDreamTeam was released many years ago, the developers continue to surprise and delight with updates for the product. In the latest video preview from FSDreamTeam, a whole host of brand new features will soon be made available for GSX.
The large update will feature PBR material on a range of brand new custom designed objects and vehicles. From the brand new baggage loaders, new pushback trucks and fuel trucks – lots of new designs have been made with the new technology. This means surfaces will reflect in certain lighting conditions, and materials are now much more detailed. Further to the objects the humans have also seen a vast improvement with FSDreamTeam using native Prepar3D V4 skeletons to increase the bone count. This then means improved animations and better details. The video above demonstrates the humans interacting with the ground service equipment like never before. For example, climbing in and out of trucks, jumping over ropes and cables and much more.
Furthermore, many of the vehicles now have custom camera sets, meaning you can get closer to the action then ever before. Most objects now enable you to set up a custom camera to follow the trucks in a variety of cinematic positions. In addition, you can also ‘ride along’ in a first-person view, as though you’re pushing the aircraft back.
The update will be completely free for GSX owners. The new fuel hydrant will require GSX Level 2, but again, will be free for those that own it.
I have summarised the video features in the list below.
