PMDG 73x Door Not Closing Quickly
« on: April 11, 2023, 12:38:10 am »
I tried finding other threads on this, but I recall Umberto mentioning in a past update (a month or so back) that the passenger door should close quickly now when we select "ready for pushback" -- it was working great, but a couple of recent updates seem to have the bug back... the door remains wide open even when the tug person is locking the pin, etc.

Anyone else?

Please provide a precise reproduction step:

- the airplane used

- if the gate has a jetway or not

- the precise, exact, sequence of operations in GSX

1 - PMDG 737-800 and 737-900
2 - Gate has jetway (KDFW)
3. I always typically do the following every single flight:
A. Make sure simbrief profile is green
B. Refuel
C. Board
D. Once boarding completes, ask for departure. The baggage people close up, leave, the jetway begins to exit from the airplane, but the door stays wide open for about 30 to 45 seconds, then it will close.

My understanding was a recent update was supposed to fix this or shorten the time, but it seems it's back.
