Let me first express my respect and admiration for the FS Dreamteam for creating GSX as it is now.
For me the lastest version is the first version I 'meet'. But I think it is wonderfull !
Please consider my carrying in idears as enthousiasme about the add-on, not as a message I would miss things.
I am a GA simpilot and mostly I fly in rural or jungle areas.
That ofcourse is the reason I would like to do a suggestion for creating ground support in the rural version too, next to the allready available GSX ground support.
I am thinking of:
Fuel supply
For real small airstrips:
by small van with gasoline or jetfuel drums, maybe even with a man/woman on a ladder filling the wingtanks.
by a man rolling a gasoline or jetfuel drum to the plane, putting it up and handpumping it in the wingtanks.
by a man pulling an unmotorized flatcar with two standing gasoline or jetfuel drums to the plane, then handpumping it in the wingtanks.
For local airports:
a man walking to the default available GA fueltank facility, rolling out the hose, putting a ladder next to the wing and filling the wingtanks.
Loading and unloading Luggage and freight:
loading and unloading from and on a flatcar that is hand pulled
the same with a flatcar motorized
the same with a bigger flatcar pulled by a small rusty tractor
Choice between pure passenger flight ground service (with mainly luggage), local freigh flight ground service (with mainly wooden boxes, crates and sacks, medical supplies, foodsupplies, even small cattle sometimes goats, chicken eg), or medical flights, injured people.
Luggage or cargo that is just hand carried out of and into the planes (different reaching heights for different sizes planes)
For jungle serviceflights
A group of helpfull local people that come running to the plane as soon as it is parked or that help loading the plane (choice between several skincolours would be great).
Guiding service and marshaller
There a several substitutes thinkable for these services.
A guy on a motorbike guiding the plane to its parkingplace.
I think of an old pickuptruck with a 'marshalling' man in the back.
An allready from the runway visible man on the platform waving to 'call' the plane to where it is expected to park.
Well, enough idears for now, probably.
I would like to offer my help with creating these expansions for GSX if I can.
I appreciate if you let me know how you - devellopers of GSX - think about these idears.
Greetings,
Bram Stikkel
