Suggestion for improvements in next version
« on: June 29, 2019, 06:25:57 pm »
Hello there

Two suggestions for improvements in next version :

- force boarding via door with stair when available even is parking position has sode jetway but that jetway cannot connect to plane for whatever reason (door too low for example)
  current behaviour is No passengers visible in that
  desired behaviour : passenger board by the door with stairs if available and open of course

- adjust crew number depending on max or actual passenger load
  current behaviour : crew is always 4 people (excluding pilots)
  desired behaviour  : crew to be from 1 to 14 (?)

What do you think?

Thanks

The first one is not very simple, because GSX might have to decide which vehicles (stairs or not) put on parking even *before* you get there so, it cannot possibly know if the jetway would work, unless you get there, park and call SODE, which is what tells GSX if the jetway could work.

The variable passenger number has already being dealt with by exposing a control variable that airplane developers can write to, telling exactly how much crew they have so, we don't risk of GSX saying something and the airplane saying something else. Both FS Labs, Aerosoft and Leonardo will support this when the GSX update will come.
