GSX Level 2 Crew Boarding
« on: September 08, 2018, 08:33:07 pm »
Excellent job with the new features. All seem to working well so far.

Is there a way to call the crew boarding separately from the passenger boarding? Obviously, the crew should board before any other service begins.

No, there isn't but, since several users already asked for it, we are looking into it.

While you're at it, it also would be nice to have an option to deactivate crew boardings/deboardings completely.

While you are looking at updates, how hard would it be to add hand luggage to the passengers. With so many airlines now charging extra for baggage I think most passengers fly with some hand luggage.

I've seen some GSX passenger models with hand luggage....

Or even have the crew doing a preflight walk around.

Many of them have it.

Would be also great to add a pilots hat to the first officer and bag as well or an option in the settings. Great addon though. I am having an issue when I call for pushback after boarding  a message comes up departure clearance requested but the pushback truck doesnt move. I have to re set GSX and then it works.

We tried to told a story here:

- The pilot is an older chap, close to the end of his career, he walks slower, and he carries an heavy trolley full of old fashioned Jeppesen charts

- The first officer is younger, he likes sports and computers, goes to the gym and walk more decisively, doesn't fear rain so he doesn't wear a hat, and has all chart of the world in an App on his iPad...

Hi

Great expansion to GSX - thanks!

While you are considering further options for crew boarding could you please think about:

1. Varying cabin and cockpit crew numbers according to the size of the aircraft ... 4 cabin crew getting onto a 747 seems a bit low! Maybe an additional pilot too at times?

2. Giving some variation in how the CC board ... right now it seems that the cabin crew leave the bus one by one with very regular gaps between them.  They're a team so maybe have them come off as a group (but with some variability!)

Best

Hello Umberto,

Thanks for this great GSX enhancement ! :-)

It would be really a very cool feature to divide the crew- and the passenger boarding !
Since my 'crew' is already preparing the flight form C&D to running it looks really weird when the second (backup ;-)) crew arrives with the passengers !
So i would recommend, that my first interaction with GSX is to call the crew bus...
...after all cockpit preparations - I call the Passengers (without a 2. crew)...

That would be very nice
greetings
Gerolamo

This has been already asked and answered in several post in this forum and yes, we already confirmed it will arrive with an upgrade.

Will he get a walking stick in a later update?
