Haha, count me in, Morten. However, I think that competition is the way out of this, so lets just make sure that GSX offers a jetway part and we don't have to wonder over credits again. I really can't complain about the actual quality of AES services though, it's just that extra cost for every airport thingy I can't get used to, although I've supported it with my money. There wasn't another option.  

Strange side effect is that most reviewers have already adapted ('resistance is futile') to that policy to charge for the extra features on already 25 Euros airports. Also, some bunch of forum users is seems to be extremely happy with this. And the sales numbers seem to be fine too. Each to their own.

But I'll join the 'minority' of the folks hoping for a cheaper way of enabling just some default FSX feature. Cheers!  

Thanks for the HU on that one. Interesting.

Good one.

I haven't used GSX on the C-130. I was using it in Antarctica X and so I didn't use GSX. The airport I landed at was the RAAF Base at East Sale (YWES) that only had a Fuel box and no other parking. So no GSX.

Yeah, I saw that 'stole the formula thingy' over there and wasn't too happy about it. Not that I'm on a special side of the game, but I actually hate it when tricks are pulled from any party. Sentence open to the reader's eyes and judgement.

Morten, you've written down a valid point in my eyes. I did not like to be 'forced' to buy extra AES credits at all on an already 25 Euros purchase. I really think the AES stuff is good and of quality, but I've surely bought more than I really wanted, just to get that default feature back. I've later stopped it as I didn't see the point and cost relation in it.

As said, if GSX would be able to move some structures on all airports, like it is able to push you back at all the thousands, we would not have to discuss this though. So while I would doubt that the business model of the one party changes much, I actually hope that the features of the other one render it to being obsolete when it just comes down to some moving jetways.

Morten, please avoid the touchy buzz words like 'stealing' and things. Me says you are a very capable speaker and you therefore have other options. That's just to make sure that the tone stays fair and polite. Since the complain itself (not so much the wording in my eyes) is valid, there's no need to over-stress certain arguments.

Mind the wording again.   However, keep in mind that you can have at least two reasons for not understanding what a person wants to tell you. First, you don't understand it. Second, you don't want to understand it. Second case is more special, but far more common.  

We just shouldn't expect the guys selling new and shiny cars to honestly tell us about the advantages of the not so shiny (and less expensive) ones. Me says that's the second case of that 'they don't understand' thingy. As so often.

I wonder if you completely lost your voice CoolP, after all that screaming over at another company..?
