Why does GPX Pro not work and shuts down after a few seconds when the message “This parking is too small for your aircraft” is displayed?
How can I fix this? I can't go into the settings when this happens... nothing works!
GSX recently worked in such parking.....
Now it doesn't.
On parking where there is no message “ ‘This parking is too small for your aircraft’ - GSX works fine!
-
There are plenty of places in the manual where is explained how GSX decides if a parking is too small, and the multiple options you can use to deal with it. For example:
- The one which tells you can still use a "too small" parking, if you really want, at Page 13.
- The explanation of the "Max Allowed Wingspan" parking customization feature at Page 41.
- The explanation of the "Ignore Wingspan when parking" global settings, which is used to tell GSX to always ignore the parking size, at Page 34.
-
Perhaps re-read the problem before throwing the manual at a user
GSX shuts down after the message that the parking is too small for your aircraft.
There is no ability to adjust the position, GSX closes.
I have the same issue, has only started since the last update, perhaps you broke someting.
-
Same issue here. Im no longer able to edit the parking position like before, i cant open any part of the settings, no pushback, no edit aircraft anything...the GSX menu just closes. I have tried to restart GSX and still nothing. something must have changed in the last update as it was working before
-
yep have the same issue here at ymml using the pmdg777, as soon as a load at a gate gsx says too small than the window gsx shuts down and have no option to change to another gate or any other things etc, this is only happening after the last update, before the update had no issues
-
I'm having the same issue with the PMDG 777, and parking space to small. This has been a problem only in the latest version, before that all was good.
-
Same problem with PMDG 777 as described above. Before latest version this was not a problem.
-
Same here. GSX just closes and when i restart couatl it just reloads and says the same thing "this parking is too small". When I am able to click on customize airport GSX/couatl closes..... Not a "read manual" issue!
-
I am having the same issue. Customize parking, no display. When I go back to the desktop to run the FSDT Installer ( ) it starts, the progress bar moves maybe 20% then disappears.

Happens not just with the T7 but also with the 73X at a gate that is clearly large enough to accommodate the aircraft. I'm sure it's an easy fix but until it's implemented it kinda kills the whole immersion factor.

Having not started up my Pc all week I did so to download the A380. Before I did that I did all my usual updates including GSX Pro. Loaded into MSFS with the A380 and was immediately greater with “parking to small” message, nd the. Finding the GSX menu not responsive and basically crashing. After several attempts I loaded a smaller aircraft, and was able to access the setting and change the parking spot wingspan settings. Loaded up the A380 into the same spot and still got the to small message. Tried at several airport with paid scenery that should easily take the 380 and default scenery and still get the same outcome.
Of course most of us know how to read the manual and follow the instructions, but it’s being able to be allowed to change the settings and getting the menu to work in this case is the problem.
-
I'm joining you. The same problem. The GSX settings menu cannot be opened, reinstalling does not help.

GSX always worked like this for years if you start a flight on a gate that is too small for your airplane, you can't do anything with GSX. You must exit the parking spot, go to another parking that you can use, so you can change your settings and, eventually, either override the wingpspan for those specific gates that are too small or enable the option in the settings to IGNORE the parking size.
Again, I agree is not ideal you can't do anything if you start a flight on a gate that is too small but, as I've said, this is how GSX always worked since 2012 when it originally came out, nothing has changed in a recent update. We might update it to present a menu with at least the "Reposition" option, so you can go elsewhere easily, and all the various Settings buttons, so you can also change settings. But again, we never had this before, it always was like this, see this post from 2012:

If the parking radius is too small for my plane. It then says that I cannot get any ground services
In FSX or P3D, we could do multiple nested menus, so we had a separate menu for the Settings and another one for the Airport so, even if you couldn't call the (separate) ground services menu on a too small parking, you could still change the settings or the airport.
But in MSFS, there's just one menu that includes ground services, airport, airplane and settings, that's why you can't do anything on a too small parking spot. You are only see this now, because there's a new popular extremely large airplane that just came out, which has the highest Wingspan of all airliners.
In any case, with today's update, we changed the default for the "Ignore Wingspan" option, to be Enabled by default. If you already had it Disabled from a previous version, just start a Flight on a Runway (or a gate big enough), so you can access the Settings menu.

I have the same problem after last update. When messages shows “Parking is too small” you cant request any ground services. Even you cant update airport position…

Update GSX, load on rwy at an airport, go to GSX settings (from gsx menu in msfs), enable Ignore Wingspan Parking, exit flight, then spawn at gate of your choice. GSX will then ignore aircraft size for all gates. Only need to do this once, it will retain the GSX setting for every flight.

That is indeed the workaround. Unfortunately, the latest update (v3.2.4) has broken this particular option. Before, you could park in any small parking whether it be too small or not and could still access the GSX menu. Now you need to disable the wingspan first (just the once from the GSX settings menu) to ignore the wingspan and it will work from there on. If you don't do this, any aircraft bigger than the wingspan specified for that particular parking and you will have the GSX menu not opening. Not very good.
Best.

Same problem with “This parking is too small for your aircraft" and the iniBuilds aA300-600R as well as the PMDG 777-have the Ignore Wingspan enabled by default with v3.2.4.
Bothers me at large airports like iniBuilds EGLL and FlyTampa or FeelThere EHAM when doing 777 ops.

This workaround is still available, and 3.2.4 hasn't changed anything to this option. The one and only change in 3.2.4 is that the "Ignore Wingspan" in the Settings is now Enabled by default, provided it wasn't already set to Disabled before.
-
Today's update, 3.2.5, allows to open the menu if the parking is too small.

Fixed for me. Thank you, Umberto.
However, I too get the error message on loading the sim. If I click No on whether I want to restart Couatl the nuisance message goes away and everything functions normally.

Which error ?

Please disregard. No issues.
