Do I need to own GSX Pro to use GSX Profile Editor?

Yes

How does GSX Profile Editor make airport profile editing easier?

Most downloaded profiles become out of date after 6 months & may no longer be fully accepted by GSX!

Editing via GSX Pro's own editor is not for the faint hearted and implies a steep learning curve.

GSX Profile Editor is desgned to simplify the process

Can I change or add walkers,boarding and deboarding routes?

With GSX Profile Editor you can quickly populate a parking slot with VDGS,vehicles & pushback / walker / (de)boarding paths.

GSX Profile Editor enables you to quickly create vehicle paths for fuel/catering/water/lavatory trucks and buses!.

You own GSX but gave up on profile editing because the workflow is too fiddly, technical, or time‑consuming.
You just want to enjoy the show — passengers boarding and deboarding at any airport, from any stand, following routes you create.
You want to design your own pushback routes quickly and visually, without wrestling with config files.
You love seeing life on the apron — walkers at every stand, and yes, even wandering across rooftops for a bit of extra fun.
The new vehicle paths are a great addition but quite tiresome to create and/or edit. GSX Profile Editor creates vehicle paths within a minute.

Can I add or change vehicle approach paths?

Yes, you can. Vehicle approach paths is a new section in GSX profiles that defines the exact routes service vehicles follow—buses, fuel trucks, catering trucks, baggage carts, and more.

Can I create routes for fuel trucks, catering vehicles and buses?

Yes and see below for where to place first waypoint:

Lavatory Services: Lavatory service seems to reverse on arrival ; so, ensure the vehicle points away from the aircraft.

Fuel Services : Approach the plane from the plane's tail, NOT the cockpit.

Bus Services: Approach the plane from the plane's tail, NOT the cockpit.

Catering Services: When approaching finish wing's width. Any waypoints nearer the plane forces it to reverse.
When returning , start wing's width of plane allowing it to reverse automatically.

At present, it's not worth spending any time creating paths for baggage vehicles and loaders!

Each baggage vehicle and loader follows a predetermined internal route and more than often ignores the routes you have created!

In this new version of GSX Profile Editor, these routes are fully visualised on the map.

Each waypoint can be selected, dragged, and reshaped, allowing users to edit vehicle paths with the same ease as pushback routes.

In addition , the user can create approach and return paths without having to use the GSX fiddly editor.

Currently,very few profiles include 'vehicleapproachpaths' as they are quite cumbersome to create and/or modify.

Can I see the position of the marshaller?

Yes and also the direction, shown by an arrow, the marshaller is facing.

Can I see which airport parking stands have the most detailed profiles?

GSX Profile Editor is ideal to select the best GSX gate or parking slot with or without jetways.

Each parking slot is graded based on the level of detail contained in its GSX profile.

Can I edit routes visually on a map?

Yes, just click on a node and drag it.

Right click on a node and select add waypoint to create a new waypoint.

GSX Profiles

Because GSX insists on using Navdata when validating parking positions, many—if not most—GSX profiles become unreliable in less than a year. As soon as the Navdata changes, the majority of profiles, regardless of airport size, end up with parking mismatches!
This makes it largely pointless to invest time creating detailed pushback routes or custom logic if GSX no longer recognises the parking spot itself.
Any profile that relies on this_parking_pos or parkingsystem_stopposition is especially vulnerable, because these values are tied directly to Navdata and will break as soon as the data updates.
The irony is that GSX is perfectly capable of locating your aircraft without this_parking_pos. In fact, the most reliable profiles are the ones that use the fewest objects. The more objects you add, the higher the risk that GSX will reject the stand entirely.
A robust profile should start with only the essentials—typically passengerentergatepos—and build from there.
The good news is that routes (boarding, deboarding, pushback, walkers) are safe. They are not affected by Navdata changes and can be added without risking stand recognition. That said, pushback paths are checked to see if they run through valid regions.

Select Customize Airport Positions to enter GSX Editor

Select Restart Couatl to force GSX to reload your profile.

'This Parking is Isolated'

When you hear this audible warning, it means that one or more coordinate entries in your profile do not match the Navdata

To resolve ths issue:

Check all coordinate based entries to a parkingsystem .ie parkingsystem_objectposition = etc which includes coordinates.
Review anything in your profile that references a parking system or aircraft position, such as:'this_parking_pos'
After correcting any coordinates, save the updated profile.
Load couatladdons.ini and REMOVE reference to your profile - more than likely near the bottom of the file.
Press ESC and select END Flight
Reposition yourself at the last gate/ramp
You will here This Parking is Isolated' when reentering the flightsim but your profile should load properly. If not , check the coordinates of anything related to the plane - ie stop position etc .
Stairs,Baggage,Walkers , Boarders, Deboarders, Pushback routes should not cause the 'error' message.
