Title: Baggage handler refuse to "go home"
Post by: joefackel on October 04, 2017, 01:38:37 pm: Hi,

yesterday after landing my PMDG 737 at ORBX Bilbao Airport i watched the deboarding from the outside. First it all looked good but after the end of the deboarding the baggage guys still stood on their belt cars and just refused to drive off. I then called also the catering service, these guys made their job and get back to their stations when the baggage guys still stood on their vehicles and enjoyed the mild autumn sun.

Maybe a bug in GSX or on my side (NGX? ORBX Airport?)?

yesterday i had an flight from LEBB to LSZH (from FSDT of course ;D) and parked at GATE A57. After deboarding completed the baggage handlers ended loading the luggage but didn't leave the scene.

Maybe they are supposed to wait for loading the baggage for the next flight?

That's not a bug, it's how GSX is supposed to work.

Exactly. It would seem a bit redundant if the loaders were retreating back to their home position, only to move again as soon as you ask Boarding.

In addition to that, if they stay there for the likely subsequent operations (Catering, Refueling), we reduce the chance they could conflict with those other vehicles in their home position, which is always different depending on the parking size, and can even by user customized. At the airplane door, we always know where they are.

For me it looked strange because after deboarding i like strolling around on the apron and wondered what the handlers are waiting for :D

Thx for clearing that up!

It's the same with Level 2. But the engine'cars are always on. It's not realistic.
Would it be possible to send them home ? like it was in the firsts versions ?

and for the engine's car ? Is that possible to shutdown ?

So, choose if you prefer the unrealistically man waiting, or the vehicles unrealistically clashing into each other. Sometimes, you must do a compromise, and choose the lesser of the two evils.

Post by: supersym on October 04, 2018, 10:38:23 am: it would be easy to delay the others cars and let's the first going out.
This is what happens with the bus of the passagers. I don't see why it would not be possible to do the same

Post by: virtuali on October 04, 2018, 10:42:32 am: Everything in GSX is already made with delays, and that's something we would like to change entirely, for a future update.

Post by: supersym on October 04, 2018, 10:45:00 am: So if you could take a look about that in the futures updates, it would be amazing :)
