    Feature Overview

    B737 series / A320 family / A380 / B777 series / A330 family / A350 family / B787 series / B748 / ATR

    More aircraft types will be added in future updates.

    Additional Features

    - GSX or Nool VDGS (where applicable in real life)
    - Custom pushback procedures
    - Defined engine start positions
    - Real-world gate capacity implementation

    Gate Groups
    - Terminal 1 [2A–50G]
    - Apron T2 [80–88]
    - GA Apron
    - RFDS Apron

    Heavy Gate Information
    Currently, Bay 18R is the only heavy stand equipped with a fully functional jetway.

    At other heavy R positions, GSX may detect adjacent stands, which can result in limited or non-functional GSX services.

    Notes
    If your aircraft position does not match after spawning, please reposition manually.

    If ATC assigns a pushback route that is not yet implemented, feel free to contact me so I can add it.

    Known Issues
    GSX services at heavy gates 16R / 20R / 22R may not function correctly
    Small stands (10A–10D / 50A–50E) currently optimized for ATR only

    Improvements / Support
    If you experience any issues, please contact me before leaving a rating.

    The profile will be monitored and updated whenever necessary.

    Enjoy MKStudios Adelaide Airport!
    A 5★ rating is highly appreciated 😊

    Im new to GSX, so this may be a 'me' problem, but when ever i ask for pushback with this profile enabled, it gives me options for either straight back (2 versions) or face NW, yet the ypad rw & taxiways behind the jetways are SW/NE, so not sure why it would suggest NW. No profile allows me to choose nose right or left, which i feel is better. For reference i just had this happen on 12L but have had it on other gates too. Am i messing something up here?

    Hello! No you’re not messing up with something. The general pushback clearance given by ATC is „Tail South“ or in other words facing NW which is shown to you. I’ll maybe change the wording in an update.

    There’s a special pushback stop bar which is used as in real life which doesn’t end you on the taxiway. If you take a closer look at the ground movement at ADL for example FR24.com you’ll see the exact same thing. The only pushback options which allow you to face east or west on the taxiway is for the heavy gates.

    Hi there, great profile from what I have seen, I seem to have this issue with the GSX version, I followed the instructions and removed the nool-aero files from the scenery folder, however still have these models in front of the GSX VDGS on each gate.

    Im very sorry for the late response!
    If you wanna use the GSX VDGS you have to delete the (Nool VDGS) "noolaero VDGS YPAD" folder, which is located at: mkstudios-airport-ypad-adelaide\SimObjects\Landmarks

    Good Profile!

    Hey :) Unfortunately, this is something I can’t change within the GSX profile itself. It’s literally just how GSX “reads” the jetway. I’ll reach out to the devs to see if there's something they can do about it in a future update for ADL :)

    I like that there are heavy and narrow body push back options.

    Just a quick note, were you have bays that have no push back direction, make sure to disable the push back on the gate page, otherwise GSX will load the TUG, and if you are like me and have connect push back on boarding, it will connect the tug, which isnt ideal when you are on a power out bay.

    Thanks for letting me know, and I’m glad you like the profile overall. It looks like this issue came up with my latest update, as those should have been disabled before. I’ll fix it shortly—sorry and thanks again!

    Again, a really well-made GSX profile from you. Seems to be the best creator out there for these profiles. Thank you very much and I hope that you can create even more airports. Every stand, every gate and every deboarding/boarding area is made with love. You can really feel how much effort went into this. 5/5 stars for this stunning profile!!!

    Unfortunately this profile does not work in MSFS 2020, the pax board from the air and you do not push back properly, the aircraft does not line up with the direction you choose. Unfortunately it would seem 2020 needs its own profile.

    Hey, thanks for your message! The profile has been tested, and so far everything works except for the custom passenger paths in 2020. This will be fixed after SU3 and the subsequent ADL update.
    What exactly do you mean by “you don’t push back properly”? Feel free to send me a private message as well. :)

    Real world push back at Adelaide is not 90 deg, the planes push back at an angle and all face the same direction regardless of runway in use.

    Had 5 flights and really enjoyed the gsx profile. Good work on that. Also couldn’t spot any passengers on roofs in MSFS2024

    Thanks for doing this GSX Profile, works well except for the passengers boarding and de-boarding from the air above the roof of the terminal, Oh dear !!

    Hello!
    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. So far, I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue — all walking paths have been working perfectly fine in 2024.

    Are you using the 2020 version?

    Some stands will be updated in the scenery soon, so you can expect an update shortly after the new version of ADL is released.

    I also sent you a private message, so a reply would be appreciated.
    Hope we can earn that 5★ rating then ☺️

    Yes I'm using MSFS 2020
    No prob gives me a bit of a laugh when I see the passengers walking in air above the terminal building.
    I am a present transitioning from 2020 to 2024, how ever long that takes.
