Boarding Passengers Options

[alxvown]

Hello team,

I was curious if a patch update could come out that removes boarding PAX from showing in the sim when they arrive via jetbridge.

Unless the jetways are glass we would not be able to see the PAX.

Loading them into the sim and not being able to see them in a closed jetway adds too many simobjects which causes AI traffic and other GSX vehicles to disappear.

I have read that each PAX that boards is treated as an individual object. For heavies that's 200-300 simobjects we may never see.

While you might not be able to seem them in a sold jetway from the cockpit, you might want to use the Showcase camera or ( in MSFS 2024 ) the Avatar mode to see passengers, so we don't remove them.

In addition to that, while we might have a (rough) idea if a jetway is transparent or not if you were at a default airport where you used GSX replacement jetways, we don't have such information on 3rd party airports, since there's no way to know the jetway "style" programmatically so, at the very least, it should be a scenery customization option to be included in the profile, requiring to specify for each gate if the jetway is transparent or solid.
