The Cargo Loading is extreamly delayed... pax boarding is completed but no baggage cart has arrived yet to load the luggage ... ok its near to reality^^ ;P but baggage cars have to earlier at the plane....

Just take a look at the video ... its realtime. The top right window shows the progress of the boarding procedure (from stream deck; ingame gsx messages displays only sometimes [its fully enabled].
184 pax were boarded then the baggage cars apear on the horizon.

Note: The bagagge cars at 01:30 min aren't GSX Cars; they are part of the scenery.

Ok, 11 Min overall isnt to long; but it might feel better when pax boarding and bagagge loading are more synchronized

The carts you mention at 1:30 are actually GSX carts.  The way GSX works is the baggage loading carts will leave the gate location (which they did at 1:30) then drive to Timbuktu to pick up your bags and then drive back.  Some airports (depending on where you park) will be quicker and some could even be slower.  But this is how GSX has worked for years.

Hi FerrevmVnion,
What program is that that shows you in that frame of the video, the number of passengers boarding and the amounts of cargo and fuel? Is it part of GSX Pro? I'm missing something.

GSX Is a pretty real simulation so you should add coffee and donut time for these hard working airport people.

The way GSX works is the baggage loading carts will leave the gate location (which they did at 1:30) then drive to Timbuktu to pick up your bags and then drive back. 

Except this is NOT how GSX works.

Sure, during Boarding, the Full carts are coming from somewhere else, to simulate bags are arriving from some luggage processing facility instead of unrealistically pop-out in front of you, but those full carts are NOT the same that drove away empty!!

As already explained so many times, in Boarding you have two separate set of baggage carts, the ones driving away empty that starts on your parking spots, and the ones that comes from afar full, and they start TOGETHER, there wouldn't be *any* time saving if we never had the empty ones driving away, because they are not the same returning full.

Baggage carts will start from a parking spot of the "vehicle" kind, and like any other vehicle that "comes from afar" in GSX, they will try to take paths of the "vehicle" kind by preference, even if they are longer, in order not to clash with airplane taxiing on real taxiways, that's why there are dedicated vehicle paths in real life to begin with.

So, if the airport is well made, with vehicle parking spots arranged in various collecting zones close to terminals, that are also well connected with proper vehicle paths that will allow them to reach any parking spot easily, waiting times will be very realistic.

I would prefer it if the luggage trolleys were already loaded with the suitcases at the plane!
