✈️ GATESTATICINJECTOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

You know the feeling.

A full VATSIM flight, a busy frequency, a solid arrival, and then the airport appears almost deserted. Empty gates, empty ramps, empty stands. The flight felt alive. The ground does not.

GateStaticInjector fixes that.

GSI fills unused stands with realistic cold-and-dark static aircraft, giving your airports the ambient density you would expect from a real-world hub. No moving traffic, no AI departures, no pushbacks, no taxiing aircraft, just parked airliners where they belong.

And when a VATSIM pilot needs a stand, live traffic always comes first. GSI only manages the aircraft it created itself and can remove its own static aircraft when an external aircraft occupies the same stand.

▸ WHAT’S NEW IN 0.2
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GateStaticInjector 0.2 is a major rework of the original beta.

The mix system has been rebuilt to choose more believable airline and aircraft combinations based on the airport, time of day, installed models, fleet data, airport presence data, and profile rules.

The placement system has also been rebuilt. GSI no longer relies on MSFS Parked ATC to decide where aircraft should appear. Instead, aircraft are now injected directly at the intended stand position, making the result far more predictable and consistent.

However, this direct placement approach does not currently allow us to support jetways in a reliable way. To make jetways work properly, we would need much more control over how FS24 handles the final aircraft position, alignment, and interaction with the jetway system. Right now, FS24 does not give us enough stability or precision there to deliver a feature that feels consistent.

I’m honestly the first one disappointed by this, because jetways were something I really wanted to make work. But rather than shipping something unreliable, I’m stepping away from the feature for now and focusing on the parts of GSI that can be made solid, predictable, and genuinely useful. This does not mean jetways are completely abandoned, just that they are not ready to be part of the current update.

Airport Profiles are now a core part of GSI. They allow airport-specific tuning through universal, versioned, shareable files. Profiles can define stand usage, airline rules, aircraft compatibility, local restrictions, and mandatory aircraft presence.

A new integrated profile editor lets you inspect airport stands visually, edit rules, manage multiple profiles for the same airport, and validate settings without editing JSON by hand.

▸ HOW IT WORKS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Launch MSFS, start your flight, then launch GSI and press START.

GSI detects the relevant airport, builds a static parking plan, and injects aircraft progressively. It stays active around your departure and arrival airports, then runs quietly during cruise to avoid wasting resources.

Before arrival, GSI can prepare the destination airport from SimBrief, a manual arrival override, or automatic detection. When you arrive, it continues to respect stand conflicts, GSX reservations, and nearby external traffic.

When you are done, press STOP so GSI can clean up its own aircraft before closing.

▸ MODEL SOURCES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GSI can use FSLTL Traffic Base, AIG OCI, or both depending on your settings.

You can run with FSLTL only, AIG only, or use AIG as the main source while letting FSLTL fill the gaps for models that are missing from your AIG installation.

When this combined mode is used, GSI keeps AIG as the priority source and only falls back to FSLTL for missing airline/aircraft combinations.

GSI reads model folders in read-only mode. It never writes inside FSLTL, AIG, or your Community aircraft folders.

▸ AIRPORT PROFILES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Airport Profiles are the main way to improve airport-specific behavior.

They can define how stands are used, which airlines are allowed or blocked, which aircraft types are suitable, and whether specific aircraft should appear at specific locations.

Profiles are designed to fix scenery-specific issues and improve realism without turning GSI into a full schedule system. GSI can still run without a profile, but a good profile can make a major difference at complex airports.

Airport Profiles are also designed to be shared !

If you create a profile for a specific airport or scenery, you can publish it and share the link in the comments or on the Discord so other users can benefit from it.

We will also push for flightsim.to to create a dedicated category for GSI Airport Profiles, making community profiles easier to find, publish, and keep updated.

▸ GSX & SIMBRIEF INTEGRATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

With SimBrief configured, GSI can detect your planned destination and prepare the arrival airport before you get there.

When GSX gate selection is available, GSI can reserve your selected arrival stand and keep it clear. If a GSI static aircraft is already parked there, GSI removes it.

GSI does not control GSX services, pushback, baggage, boarding, or jetways. It only reads the flight and gate context it needs.

▸ DENSITY CONTROL
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GSI 0.2 separates density from the maximum aircraft limit.

Density controls how much of the airport’s expected real-world presence should be generated, based on the airport itself, its traffic profile, available models, and profile rules.

The maximum aircraft limit acts as a safety cap to keep the final plan within the range you want for performance and stability.

This gives you a cleaner way to tune the overall atmosphere without forcing every airport into the same level of traffic.

▸ REQUIREMENTS & INSTALLATION
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GSI is a standalone external app. Do not place it inside the Community folder.

Extract the zip into a dedicated folder, configure your paths, then launch GSI.exe.

Requirements:

- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

- FSLTL Traffic Base and/or AIG OCI

- MobiFlight Event Module for bridging with MSFS

- SimBrief username if you want automatic arrival detection

MobiFlight Event Module:

▸ PUBLIC BETA
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

GateStaticInjector 0.2 is still a beta version.

It is much more capable than the first public release, but some airport layouts, scenery data, aircraft titles, model availability, and online traffic situations can still produce imperfect results.

The current focus is stability, better airport tuning, improved model matching, and more predictable placement.

If something looks wrong after a full injection cycle, please report the airport ICAO, the scenery you are using, your selected model source, and what the final state looked like. That kind of feedback helps improve profiles, data, and placement behavior.

Enjoy :)
