Hi, is there an option to remove this after selecting boarding?

This option actually didn't exist initially and was added in on request. It makes sense to have it there since GSX has no idea if you're on your first flight of the day or your fourth flight of the day. Is there a reason you want it removed.

Hi,

I have a 737 homecockpit and the less mouse clicks i do the more realism. So why is GSX needed to know this?

GSX doesn't "need" that, users asked for it, because they wanted to either save some time by skipping the crew, but they also wanted the option to not to board the crew, to simulate a turnaround.

Prior to this existing, GSX just assumed that the passengers and crew would get off the plane and new passengers and crew would get on, which isn't useful if you're doing a turnaround using the same crew.

Hensel: Boarding the crew is just a 'one timer' for a trailer .... " The crew's great entrance" like this:

To me: No need, an option to completely disable them would be nice

Under this reasoning, passengers are also just for show, so you just an skip boarding, and that's it.

If you would simulate "being a pax" ... why should i simulate pilots boarding the plane when im the pilot in the sim ?
A small checkbox to enable or disable it overall doesnt hurt.... and all would be fine.

The OP asked to get rid of the pop-up menu, which has been ADDED to GSX because users requested it, so this is what this topic is about. Before the menu was added, there was no choice: the crew was always boarding UNLESS the airplane code wrote some custom integration that controlled the crew, like Fslabs did in P3D.

You, instead, are asking something completely different, which is getting rid of the crew entirely, which is not the subject of this thread or this request.
