GSX Pro profile for MSFS 2020 flyAmsterdam:

• Make sure to have updated GSX Pro to version =>2.9.0(update for push and pull)
  

The profile consist of two files:

• eham-flytampa.ini (GSX profile definition)
• eham-flytampa.py (GSX Python script for complex GSX procedures)

Two methods to use one manual install and a second one via a great drag and drop installer:

• Method one:
  easy and fast: https://elevatesolutions.live/DDI_pages/DDIOverview/
• Method two:
  copy those two files to the following directory:
  %appdata%\Roaming\virtuali\GSX\MSFS
  Make sure to remove any other GSX profiles *EHAM*.* in the name from that particular directory.

So you end up with only the two files above with eham-flytampa in the name.
What will you get with eham-flytampa profile:
Almost 99.9 % close to real life.

• logical placement of GSX ground vehicles
• 100% pushback as in real life with correct stop positions and pushback routes
• VDGS TS-24 with Simbrief integration
• agnis papa stands
• airline companies at the correct gates / stands
• handling and catering at the gates / stands as per real world
• custom stop positions per aircraft type at the gates / stands as per real world
• custom naming terminals (pier) and grouping for better navigation at Schiphol
• pax routes in terminals
• pax routes jetways
• remote deicing which are currently located at P10/P12/P14/P16 at Schiphol
• G71 is the remote deicing for the H gates (with special pushback routine)
• wingspan per gates/stands as per real world

Tip: starting at the gate or stand choose via the GSX menu in MSFS reposition aircraft and then reposition at current gate, your aircraft will be placed at the correct stop position at the gate/stand SPL .

Tip: pushback procedure H gates in case of deicing choose no deice at the H gates and choose pushback VOP G71 when arrived finish the push by starting the engines.
Then choose the deicing procedure via the GSX menu.

• F: Pier
• G: Pier
• G: Platform
• H: Pier
• J: Platform
• R: Platform
• S: Platform
• P: Deicing platform
  

The following aprons aren’t done because they are used in real life as buffer overflow stands (so only towing and parking allowed at those stands nothing else) now with push and pull to gate later in a GSX Pro update this profile will be updated when available.

U: Platform M: Platform L: Platform K: General aviation and maintenance stands

In general you will see in the pushback description which direction the aircraft is facing and the taxi line number after pushback and if there are multiple options for =< medium (cat 4) aircraft types and => heavy (cat5)

You will see also VOP which means in Dutch “vliegtuigopstelplaats” translate to “aircraft stand”

Six more tips to share:

• Make sure to check weekly via the FSDT installer if there are GSX updates and after running and update choose always the config option and to exclude jetways for 3e party.
• Before starting, make sure to update GSX to the latest version.
• Great community and discord server regarding GSX Pro and profiles and tips and tricks make sure to check it out : GSX discord community server
  
• Drag and drop installer (https://elevatesolutions.live/DDI_pages/DDIOverview/)
• Names Schiphol “Platform” is Dutch for Apron and “Pier” for Terminal
