Rather than not being possible, I don't think it would be even useful because, as I've said, just because you have an integrated staircase, that doesn't mean you'll always want to use it so, even assuming we did something like you are suggesting, it would mean you would always *forced* to use the airplane stairs with that airplane, no matter what, which is hardly realistic.

That's because the way the 737 is made, it always let the pilot *choose* if using the plane stairs, it's not like other planes like the CRJ or similar, that when they have stairs, it's embedded in the door, so you never use the airport stairs.

I agree, that would be unrealistic but the way it’s currently set up, I’m always forced to use the airport airstairs which is equally unrealistic. What would be useful is a dialog such as the one for the jetways where I can select what jetway goes to which door. This would also be rather useful in the case that you don’t want the rear airstairs while at a jetway.

That's not the same situation, since jetways are always created regardless if you want to use them or not, since they are a feature of the scenery.

GSX vehicles, instead, are generated depending on the airplane, possibly even before landing and, if we had to wait for your decision about using stairs, we would have to re-generated the vehicles again, which might distrupt services already in progress.

The only possible solution would be asking if you will want to use stairs the moment you select the gate.

That makes sense, yea.

Honestly, that would improve it a lot.

Captain Kevin:
Or just even ask which stairs you want to use.
