GPU while Deboarding

[abrinson]

GSX can't connect GPU while passenger deboarding. Is this correct?

That looks correct, you usually should connect the electrics before passengers will exit.

Would it not be possible to have them connect simultaneously? I'm not sure of any physical limitation that would not allow for that. In real life, if the gpu is connected via the bridge, that has to connect first in which passengers can leave anyway.

I'm not sure what do you mean with "have them connect simultaneously". You must understand the GSX GPU is really mostly graphic and doesn't perform a real function because:

- Default airplanes at default airports have a "magic" ground power that is always provided by the airport, regardless if a GPU is connected or not.

- 3rd party airplanes using a custom electric system cannot be charged by GSX, and they have their own GPUs anyway.

So, if you just want to add a GPU to default airplanes as an extra vehicle just for eye-candy, call it from the GSX menu before boarding/deboarding, since it won't make any difference to the availability of the external power, for the reasons explained above.
