Tight request of the wishful thinker

[Swaluver88]

Please idc just please release the 737NGXu so I have the once in the life time chance to beta test the one. The only. The best. The more hype than FS2020(🤮) . GFO...ugh the days go on the days go past without little gracefulness

[Ephedrin]

Alex,

Maybe Robert is right now preparing for us a coming preview of GFO with pictures all the details etc !

Who knows ?

Best regards,

[Anton Vind]

Can't wait for when that happens

[Swaluver88]

Its gonna be awesome

[Anton Vind]

It's unfortunate that the quality of the presentation on youtube about GFO isn't that good

[Swaluver88]

That was 2 years ago when it was just an idea

[Anton Vind]

well it was in alpha at that point

Gate assignments, different types of performance requests, oceanic clearance if that is needed, and much, much more!

Yeah its definitely needed in the sim.world for realism. Printer compatible etc

[Anton Vind]

GFO will change the simworld forever. It'll become something you enter and exit, rather than creating and destroying. You know that GFO will always be operating in the background 24/7 365 days a year, just like real world ops.

I whave way way way more hope for this than I ever will have for fs2020

[Anton Vind]

So do I. GFO in MFS2020 will be great though

[Swaluver88]

So do I. GFO in MFS2020 will be great though

I have zero hope for fs2020 but.my opinion.. lmao moving on back to GFO

[Anton Vind]

Fair enough, yeah, let’s move back to GFO 😁

[Swaluver88]

Fair enough, yeah, let’s move back to GFO 😁

But yeah GFO is definitely something that should be getting way way way more attention that it is getting currently. It seems highly underrated as it stands right now

[Anton Vind]

Yeah I don’t understand it either. More people should be hyped for this. Might come as the previews come though. PMDG hasn’t shown/talked/revealed a whole lot about GFO here on the forums either so that might also be a reason why it’s not getting that much attention.

[Swaluver88]

I man theres not much to reveal other than the website and the functions it holds. Which will be in like a changelog sort of webpage maybe? Either way having the opportunity to help beta it would seriously be a dream come true

[Anton Vind]

Think it’s quite comprehensive work to be a beta tester - look how many flights some of them already have done Think more people will be excited when previews come

[RichardMcDonaldWoods]

This has turned into the Alex and Anton show

Stick around theres not many commercial breaks. Welcome to PMDG radio at 103Am (where GFO lives on) *insert geico commerical break*

[Tbarker1989]

The potential lies in GFO with the ability to link in different ways. There is potential for VAs but that would require VAs to change their model of how flights work. Then there is gate assignments. Then there is ATC if implemented in online networks via API.

[Anton Vind]

This has turned into the Alex and Anton show

Stay tuned for a special edition when GFO goes live 😂

Hi Tim,
I believe that GFO will change the way people may choose to fly. I am really looking forward to it.
I am assuming that supplying the airline code to ACARS will enable VAs to interface with the aircraft's OOOIs.
RSR, I believe, originally said that gate assignments will be provided during descent. How this will avoid AI aircraft at gates I don't know. Will GFO assign a new flight an appropriate gate?
Re ATC involvement - are you referring to a potential additional requirement beyond current procedures?
Regards, Richard

However most gate assignments come from ramp control due to late gate swaps and etc. So when the pilots call up it usually goes something like this

Pilot: "southwest ****, we are on the ground"
ramp control : "southwest **** D1, gate is clear"


I can only give an example of southwest due to me working on the ramp but I have a hunch the others are very very similar. I'm looking more into weather changes and cpdlc, routes, VA integration, etc

I think we all need a weekend notam by Robert. Come on, it's Sunday ! Please Robert ! Please please !

Best regards,

[Anton Vind]

Would be nice to end the weekend with. On the other hand we’re only half way through June - it’s only been two weeks since last update. Don’t know what to expect tonight though

[Swaluver88]

Yah if you haveng notice he usually does a once a month weekly update to keep us all in suspension

From what I understand there shall be an API for online networks to integrate into GFO. This will be either via secondary program, plug in, or direct integration in their clients. For controllers to use it regularly though it should not add any or very little to their workload. This how I perceive it in an IRL ARTCC. I know some controllers that say I will never use that. So it is still waiting to be seen.
