GSX controls doors
« on: February 27, 2016, 12:50:52 pm »
Is it possible to have GSX to control the doors during boarding? Its one less thing to remember while setting up your aircraft. Ie + 3 mins to pushback have GSX close service and cargo doors and +1 close FWD and AFT entry doors

GSX has no way of knowing when you're going to call for push back, so it couldn't close doors 3 minutes before push.

If you set boarding time to 15minutes it can work off that

That's why GSX REMINDS you!

However, the issue about GSX automatically handling doors has been discussed many times on the forum, and we also had it like this while it was in Beta ( 4 years ago ), and it didn't work, it was just too unreliable with 3rd party airplanes.

See here for a more complete explanation why GSX doesn't touch your plane doors:
