Orjan Polman Posted April 13, 2019 at 01:56 PM Posted April 13, 2019 at 01:56 PM Hello guys and gals I am just wondering about the use of GSX pushback when on vatsim. I have read that it is not "allowed" due to the extra "strain" it puts on the connection.(not sure about the correct phrases) But almost every youtube video I see, they use GSX for pushback... While it may be a more realistic pushback, facing you the correct way and everything, I can understand that it uses more resources. Should I never use GSX, could I use it when there is no event(little traffic), or could I just use it? Cheers, Orjan. Regards Orjan Polman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipp Edlich Posted April 13, 2019 at 02:26 PM Posted April 13, 2019 at 02:26 PM You can use GSX on every flight if you want to, nothing except your planes movement is transmitted to the servers. However, you cannot connect as a Follow-Me car yourself. In this case, the plane and the Follow-Me would be recognized by the servers. I hope this answers your question. | Enroute Controller | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orjan Polman Posted April 13, 2019 at 05:37 PM Author Posted April 13, 2019 at 05:37 PM Hi Philipp. Really? Well then, there's nothing more to say... Thank you very much for your reply, it sure does answer my question! Much more easy with GSX. I never use the Follow-Me car, so all sorted then Cheers, Orjan.

Board of Governors Gunnar Lindahl Posted April 13, 2019 at 08:01 PM Board of Governors Posted April 13, 2019 at 08:01 PM Welcome to VATSIM. The full suite of features from GSX can be used with VATSIM including the follow me car. You yourself are not able to connect to the network as a ground vehicle - you must be in an aircraft - but all vehicles from GSX are only visible to you in your simulator.

Orjan Polman Posted April 14, 2019 at 02:15 PM Author Posted April 14, 2019 at 02:15 PM Thanks Gunnar! Good to know anyway. A quick on the side question; I thought of joining the "Runway to Holland" event tonight. I found a real life flight from LGAV to EHAM, and this is flown by a 738. Would I be allowed to fly it in a 777? Cheers. Regards Orjan Polman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
