I read your post's Mort, and you have a valid point, but from a business perspective I can't knock another company! He say's it's the developers, so I say go after the developer's, and I'm willing to bet the developer's will blame another company for the jetway's. Anyway it goes no one over at another company or the developers is going to take the blame. One rule of business is never tell customers you are in it for the money, because it comes of cold, to the customer. I don't have GSX as of yet, but if you can use it at default airports for one price, the AES is gone this weekend, LOL! I to am tired of buying those credits! I'm an ol school guy I don't mind using the default airports. But I do like the effect of having ground service.

Unfortunately for another company, it was the credit system of buying for AES that stopped me from buying it in the first place. I did try the free trial and liked it. I just did not want to spend so much money to get them on only selected airports - looking at their list, AES is not available at any Aussie airports yet

GSX came to my rescue and it works at all the default airports I have tried it at (my ORBX airports are not installed at the moment) and it did not cost me lots of money. I think that is the real selling point for GSX over AES. AES might be better, but I don't have oodles of money to spend on expanding it to all the airports it's available for.

Yeah, that money aspect. That's the (dev's) elephant in the room over in the other thread, obviously.  

Well the sheer jetway movement currently is an AES special at the airports with the missing default feature. GSX can't help you on that so far. I hope this (GSX) aspect changes in the future since it does not look like the AES pricing system is about to change soon.
Do the maths, on a 25 or 26 Euros airport, some folks (like me) bought credits for some additional 7.50 Euros. That's a 30 percent plus on the cash flow. Can't complain about the actual quality of the services involved, but the price is too high in my eyes.
However, I think GSX offers a nice competition to that credit based payment system and I'm looking forward to any progress, at both dev's ends.

Side note. On the AES airports where you have your credits enabled, disable GSX via that ini file. So the features won't interfere in any way. I have PANC for example. And if I press the GSX key commands there, it tells me that is was disabled. So my slow brain remembers to use the fancy AES instead.
