Add regional jet ramp and gate valet
« on: July 25, 2023, 09:13:54 pm »
In many American airports, non-gate operations use these blue ramps instead of using aircraft stairs. Additionally, they offer a gate valet service where cargo is loaded into the plane's cargo bay and then handed to passengers on a cart when they deboard the aircraft, removing the need for baggage claim. It would be nice to see this replicated by GSX.

Like the ones we have a KIAH.

I'm sorry but, I don't think it's really feasible adding each and every passenger with the required animation to grab a bag from a cart. There is a reason why there's only one type of guy handling baggage in GSX, and it's because that animation is very complex.

Do the ones at KIAH actually connect to the aircraft or are they just static?

Yes, they connect and passengers walk through them.

Could you add the KIAH ones into GSX so we can have them at non-FSDT airports?
