Feature request: baggage/cargo loading progress updates
« on: July 01, 2018, 04:34:34 pm »
Would it be possible to add an update to the progress of baggage or cargo loading similar to what we get for passengers--something like "20% complete," etc., either in a box at the top of the screen or in the GSX menu (so the line that says "Cargo loading in progress" could now say "Cargo loading in progress (20% complete)")?

I get that it's possible to just switch to an exterior view and see how many carts in the baggage/cargo train are empty, but often that's inadvisable for other reasons (e.g. switching views can increase the likelihood of an OOM situation on FSX).

In general, we try to limit the number of messages on the top row to be as few as possible, because other addons might need to write something and, in this case, it would be GSX itself, that might need the text line to write the number of passengers, since baggage and passengers loading/unloading CAN happen at the same time.

Could a message be added to the menu?  e.g. where it says "5 - Cargo loading in progress," it could be something like "5 - Cargo loading in progress (10%)"?  That way if you want to know you can just call up the menu.
