So when I start a flight with no passengers and no cargo (i.e. training flight) and I call for de-boarding after returning to the stand, GSX suddenly unloads baggage and passengers start to de-board & walk out of the airplane to the bus.
Any reason for this? Shouldn't it just refrain from sending belts or passenger busses? Where are the people coming from?

Stupid question, but why would you even call for deboarding in the first place knowing you were already empty.

Good question actually. :)
Well, the FSLabs will do that automatically as soon as you switch off the beacon. So if you return with an empty plane, it will still trigger deboarding. But since there are no passengers on board, I wonder why GSX makes some up. It usually deboards the correct amount that were on board, but maybe just can’t handle “0”?

When GSX is under control of a 3rd party airplane, it relies on that plane to set the number of passenger correctly. I *think* there's some code in FS Labs to always set the GSX passenger number at 20 minimum, to prevent the small Van to be seen, and always get the Bus, which comes when the passenger number is at least 20.

Thanks Umberto, I forwarded this, Andrew is looking into it.

Agree, a well known as no passengers on board then don't ask for deboarding, no sense. Better ask for boarding.

To be fair, I had no idea the FSLabs did this automatically.

Hello My Captain, I think you meant FSDT instead of FSLabs.

Negative, sir, I did mean FSLabs since he said the FSLabs calls for deboarding automatically via GSX when I asked why he even called for deboarding in the first place. I don't own any FSLabs aircraft, so I don't know how they integrate GSX into their planes other than just knowing that they do.

There are a bunch of GSX actions that get triggered by various things you do in the FSLabs Cockpit. You can call for pushback with the intercom switch (something you would actually use IRL) or the GPU with the mechanic horn.
In my described issue (of course I wouldnt call for de-boarding without passengers) the de-boarding gets auto triggered by switching off the beacon. There is currently nothing to prevent this, but FSL is considering to implement an option to do those things manually again.
