Service Provider Selection

[patent heron]

Would like an option to always use GSX suggested ground service provider, rather than through a dialog box asking which to use.

Afaik there is an option for that in the settings

GSX Manual, Page 41, the chapter named Select Operators

I didn't see anything in settings and page 41 seems to concern customizing individual aircraft parking spots. What my suggestion was to give an option to disable the "Select handling operator" dialog box and to always use the "GSX choice" (i.e. have GSX select the handling operator without me seeing the box pop up). I do know it will select it if I make no selection in x seconds, so I suppose I'd like to set x=0.

The "individual" is not really an issue, because the parking customization editor use multi-selection so, you can assign operators to multiple gates, a whole terminal or even the whole airport with a single click.

That is assuming you are interested in setting the most realistic operator possible for the airport, instead of relying on the default GSX scoring system. This is also what happens if you are using a pre-made airport profile which has set those custom operators. If a SINGLE operator is assigned to a parking position, the menu will be skipped so, with well made profiles that chose individual operators based on gates, you'll likely never see the menu, in all cases where there's just one operator assigned.

Your goal of never seeing the operator selection menu no matter what, instead, can already by achieved by enabling the Assistance Services “Auto” mode option in the settings, because when this option is active, the operator selection menu is ALWAYS skipped and the default choice will be used.
