	FS Dreamteam just released their ground service thingy (that's a scientific term!) GSX. If you know AES (Airport Enhancement Services), you may already be familiar with that kind of software. However, I think this one really shows the benefit of a new development. The smoothly animated people alone are worth a look. Find some videos here. http://youtu.be/5PrTvMocs_U Here's some catering action. http://youtu.be/dXLALZynwaU Or pushback with voice here. http://youtu.be/yxdx0ZOgoRE Now the best part is that you can try it for free and that it offers native support for the CS 767 as from this list. http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=5481.0 I may add that AES also offers a set of free airports to explore the product. So you can compare them both of course.

	Wow! Looks really nice. Thanks for the HU. I'll have to give it a try.

	Thank you for posting this, I wouldn't have found out otherwise. Great program, I'm using the demo version currently and it's so much better than AES.

	I can't complain about AES, but GSX is way cheaper. And it supports all 26.000 airports, while I had to spent quite some money to get some of my addon ones in AES running.

	Thanks indeed for that one! Just what I needed!...and much more! BTW..Funny how the workers move to the music on those videos.. Until now I I've used DBS Follow Me Car which is crab software with bad support.

	That baggage loading and unloading is worth the money in my eyes. And the thing is even that smart to read the actual payload values and then adjusting the loading times accordantly. Way to go for that addon!

	It is awesome from what I have seen and done so far (as the demo allows) and I love that it updates from within FSX without the need to restart. EDIT: Resistance was futile. I bought it! Has any one looked at the catering guys going into the 767 cabin from the Galley views? They are way out of sync with the exterior view. It's a bit sad. Mark

	Could be that the viewpoint definition of the plane doesn't match the external model's coordinates. I haven't tried that one though.

I had 2 catering trucks show up at the same front service door side by side. One guy correctly walked through the service door with his cart, the other one walked right through the skin of the aircraft. I did contact FSDT and waiting a reply. I think the door paramters may not be correct. The marshaller did inform me that I did a lousy job parking and I wonder if that might have something to do with it.

	Otto, check their thread. They currently support the 767-300 only on the 767 lineup, but I think the wish for the -200 already was placed in that thread. If not, place it. http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=5481.0 Me says it's a matter of time, be careful with the catering in the mea(l)ntime. �

	Yeah. CoolP is right! The CS767-200 is not supported yet. My post was more about the misalignment of the CS767 interior with the exterior. Normally it doesn't bother me because there not much to compare the interior and exterior with (except the jetway). This changes it with at least one more object to show the discrepancy. I just wanted to see the guy come into the cabin with the cart! Mark EDIT: The pushback awesome! It always places the aircraft in the correct position on the taxiway after the turn. I can never get it right no matter how hard I try! Close, but not spot on like that.

	For the variants which aren't supported yet, there's a fallback option. GSX reads the files you may know from AES, the intelliscene.cfg in the aircraft folder. Their text simply define the nosegear position and the ones of the doors for each plane. Looks like this. Quote: [Descr] Type=B707 [Geom] Nosegear= 14.2 Door1=-1.6, 14.55, 3, 5 Door3=-1.85,-7.3, 2.8 Door4=-1,-16.5, 3.05,-5 Front= .15, 8.3, .5 Rear= .65,-9.2, .85 Now those coordinates are rather cryptic and therefore AES (which is the main user of the files) has a small tool to generate them. Since AES is free to download and use at some airports, there's no problem downloading it and using that tool on the planes of your choice. When GSX doesn't know the plane, it will read what the intelliscene file says and therefore knows some model specific aspects.

I don't think GSX is aware, jumping over to FSDT now:)
