This GSX profile will bring real Gatwick operations to your sim. Everything in this profile is based on real life gatwick operations.
Custom GSX menu for quicker selecting of stands. Stands are now grouped to South Terminal 1-38 / North Terminal 46-574 / West Park 130-145 etc.
All pushback options are based on real standard pushbacks used at Gatwick based on the real Standard Pushback Manual and some popular non-standard pushes to allow other traffic to move around you.
SafeDocks placed for all stands that use them (Most Safedocks at Gatwick are T2-18 models which isn’t modelled in GSX so T2S-24’s are used)
Stop locations adjusted for more accurate parking relation between the aircraft and jet bridges
Individually placed Ground Service Equipment for each stand based on usual locations it is parked during aircraft arrival.
Handling Companies are correct.
Remote De-Icing Pad Sierra East and West
IMPORTANT
When stand is selected from MSFS map screen, inital spawn location on stand may be incorrect. WORKAROUND = Open GSX menu > Reposition Aircraft > Select Stand
+
If your aircraft should use Door 2 for Jetway/Steps (eg. B787 B777 A330 etc), Ensure door 2 is set as main door in GSX (Customise aircraft menu). If door 1 is selected then stop position will be wrong!
Please report any bugs or strange goings on straight away and I will fix ASAP if needed (Gatwick can be a strange place)
Copy both of the downloaded files, EGKK-MKVY.ini + EGKK-MKVY.py, and place it in the GSX profile directory, typically found in:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\virtuali\GSX\MSFS

This is a great profile, although there are things I don't like about it, but are for realism, for example some south terminal stands have a north pushback only, but that could be one of the weird things at EGKK in real life. If a controller gives you an east or west push in these stands, use quickedit.
Overall, a great profile for a great airport, the only GSX profile for EGKK you'll ever need.
OLD REVIEW, IGNORE
I would give 5 stars, but some pushbacks are missing, for example Stand 20 is missing East and West, Just some time ago at the time of writing this, I was told to push facing west on VATSIM, however the profile allows North only. DHL Ground Handling is missing too.
