Two marshallers at the gate

[Pirateinparadise]

I keep getting a MSFS default marshaller standing near the GSX marshaller when I arrive at the gate. Did I miss setting an option or something?

Nobody else has mentioned it, so it must be unique to my system.

That's normal if you set that gate with the default ATC. I'll check if it's possible to remove it, like the other ground vehicles.

Yes. That's what I have been doing. I'll skip it next flight.

My apologies for resurrecting this thread, but there may be another solution for this:

In the aircraft.cfg there is usually a section

Code: [Select]

[SERVICES]
FUELTRUCK = 1
BAGGAGE_LOADER = 1
CATERING_TRUCK = 1
BOARDING_RAMP = 1
GROUND_POWER_UNIT = 1
PUSHBACK = 1
SMALL_PUSHBACK = 0
MARSHALLER = 1
JETWAY = 1
We can disable the default MSFS marshaller by setting MARSHALLER = 0. That way we only see the GSX marshaller. Tested it a few times and did not notice any adverse effects.

I have a somewhat related issue. I hope it's okay to continue here...

In (rare) cases, when I request a gate after landing, I get the message, that the gate is already occupied. When I arrive at the gate I see what seems to be the default ground handling crew together with the GSX equipment. The default marshaller seems to be the one occupying the gate, lol.

It happens randomly, it seems. I see no pattern, really. The GSX stuff is standing in the correct position. It's just that the default ground handling isn't removed by GSX, it seems. If I restart coutl and request again, the default stuff goes away as expected.

It's just that the default ground handling isn't removed by GSX, it seems.

It is, but it's not made "constantly", it's only done when you initially select the gate, if the sim has generated new ground vehicles/marshallers while you are taxiing there, they won't be removed.

If I restart coutl and request again, the default stuff goes away as expected.

There's an option in the menu to remove the AI to prevent you from doing exactly that, which is there to cover this case, of the gate being taken after you selected it.

Even before that option, there wasn't any need to restart Couatl, since you would have always used the option to change parking, and select again the same one, the new option is just faster.
