UK Ground Operators Update
« on: November 15, 2018, 10:03:09 pm »
Hi,

Is it possible for the following changes to be considered in future updates? a few UK ground handlers have changed quite a bit in recent years

Servisair
- Fully acquired by Swissport with the exception of EGNT, EGBB and EGKK initially transferred to Aviator UK (this is accurate, I was employed by them) which subsequently has ceased operations at these locations with the majority of operations transferring and remaining to date with Swissport

Aviator UK
- EGCC is their only remaining UK operation.

Are you aware you can set the operators yourself at any airport or parking ?

thank you Craig .... Umberto, if you do this centrally it keeps GSX updated and saves everyone hours of NFS (non flying simming)

Developers could make use of website mentioned above to discover more airports handled be swissport
just like in Japan


And I hope we can have more presets in future version of GSX
Remember, we are users, not developers.

The reason for having added the ability for users to update the operators at any airport, has been added because if we tried to keep up with all airports operators worldwide, we wouldn't have any time left to do actual useful things to GSX, like new services, better services, better graphic, fixing bugs, something that users *cannot* do by themselves.

Opposite to setting the operator, which is trivially easy to do ( you know you can do it with just two clicks for the whole airport ? ) for users.
