Please add an option to add "traffic jam" for boarding PAX
« on: August 26, 2022, 02:14:58 pm »
I've never boarded a plane without having to queue up in the jetway or on the stairs. I have set the PAX density to "very high", now boarding 150 people takes not even 5 minutes and they all can just walk inside the plane. I'd love to see a queue in the jetway waiting to get on board, that would be so much more immersive and would match the boarding of the Fenix efb (15-25min) much better! Can you add this please?

If you want the boarding to take longer, just lower the density? "dense" will get you to 15-20 minutes boarding time for 150 pax, "normal" to about 25 minutes.

Yeah but that makes it even worse to look at. Have you ever seen 200 people walking into an airplane one by one with like 20m distance to each other?

Oh I've just seen there are even animations for waiting PAX. So should be possible to add this without even needing to make new animations. With those queues you could even set the time the boarding takes without needing to change the density.

Real life is complex and diverse, you have these situations:





But also THESE situations:




Nobody can say one is "right" or the other is "wrong".

I think those are either business-pax or late arrivers lol.
Well in those about 200 flights I took in my life as a pax, I had to queue up in almost every single one (poor eco passenger).
Would it be possible to add this as an option? I think boarding time span would also be much easier to control with that too.

Wow if this is all the problems you have with GSX Pro half your luck.  Some of us havent been able to get it going since release.  passengers that walk and stop gee whiz what a luxury that'd be.

Well, you not being capable of installing a program has got nothing to do with this thread. If I pay for a program that enhances immersion by boarding pax but does it in an imo unrealistic way, I can suggest something for improvement, can't I?

I asked for something similar a while back and kinda got laughed at…
