GSX Mapper free & available soon.

• Click on each gate/parking.de-icing slot to check out what features have been included or omitted.
• The contents of each gate/parking areas has been graded making it easier to identify the most detailed slots .
• Left and Right Pushbacks are easily identified.
• Passenger boarding and deboarding routes are clearly marked in green and yellow respectively - see below
• Walking passengers follow a purple line see below.
• See where the Marshaller has been positioned.
• Check out the pushback labels.
• And much more.

Which Gate should I select?

GSX Mapper is ideal to select the best GSX gate or parking slot.
It rates each parking slot and shows whether it includes a jetway.

Grading

• Each parking slot is graded based on the level of detail contained in its GSX profile.
• When you load a profile, you can immediately see how detailed it is thanks to the grading system.
• The grading also reflects how many gates or parking positions include precise coordinate data for their placement.

Suggestions

It offers targeted suggestions to help enhance the accuracy and completeness of each slot’s data.

When Walkers and Passengers paths cross, GSX produces unexpected results.

In addition, this profile did not include an essential:

'passengerentergatepos ='

Passengetentergate scan only be placed in locations which contain sufficient data to make it valid for GSX.

If you do decide to add it ,GSX throws an error with an 'isolated parking' warning causing the whole profile to become inoperative! You can still add Passenger waypoints , BUT with out an entry gate the passengers get very confused !

Tip

To check if your profile is 'running' , add a a few walkerwaypoints as they are not affected.

Top Tip

Within FSX, create a new profile by selecting all gates and parking and click / unclick Marshaller then click Apply.

This trick creates a new profile. Click Refresh button to view new profile and start adding routes

Some general observations regarding 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.

Improved Instructions for Creating and Refining GSX Parking Profiles

1. Ensure All Parking Slots and Labels Are Present

• In FSX, create a new GSX profile by selecting all gates and parking positions.
• Toggle Marshaller on/off, then click Apply.
• This forces GSX to generate a complete profile containing every parking slot.
• The profile will not include coordinates yet, but that’s fine — GSX works even if the parking type shows as none.

If you’re comfortable with the GSX Editor:

• Create a short walking route using F6 and Enter.
• This gives you reliable coordinates for your current stand.

If the Editor is difficult:

• Use GSX Mapper to zoom into the Google Map view and visually identify the parking label.

3. Add Pushback Endpoints

In GSX Mapper:

• Add pushbackrightpos and pushbackleftpos by clicking where the end of each pushback should be.
• These are endpoints, not the start of the pushback.
• Save your work — this enables GSX Mapper to zoom correctly into the stand.
• Then add pushbackleftapproachpos and pushbackrightapproachpos.
• At many airports you can see the painted centreline where the aircraft would sit.
• Do not add a this_parking_pos entry.

4. Add Passenger Gate Positions

• Add passengerentergatepos (and _deboarding if needed).
• These are generally safe to place.
• Check your bus settings:
  • For boarding routes (green): add nopassengerbus = 1
  • For deboarding routes (yellow): add nopassengerbus_deboarding = 1

• Add a boarding route (yellow).
• Imagine the aircraft parked on the stand.
• Place your first point roughly halfway along the left wingtip, slightly beyond it.
• Then click your way toward the terminal gate.
• Finish the route near the gate entrance.

Smooth turns:

• To avoid sharp, jerky 90° turns, aim for 30° angles at each corner.
