Hi there,
Why doesn't baggage loading and passenger loading happen simultaneously?
I am in the CRJ and baggage was loaded without pax and when complete boarding passengers.
On this subject; can we have a toggle option to not disconnect the jetbridge the moment boarding is finished? Instead linking it to the request p/s?
In the real world, we keep the jetbridge on until all paperwork etc and this can be some time after the last pax has boarded.

Because you are on a CRJ, which loads bags from the left side, so it's completely normal you can't load passengers at the same time, because the loaders will interfere with the passenger bus.
The vast majority of airplanes, that loads baggage from the right, loads passenger and cargo at the same time.

There is no reason why you can't load the baggage and passengers at the same time. They're not conflicting so not sure the logic is correct here.

Fact that bus and the loaders are on the same side is precisely the reason why you can't load the baggage and passengers at the same time.
Time to arrive for the bus is not always the same so, even if you don't see a conflict now, it doesn't mean there might not be one in a different situation, that's why in this case ( cargo doors on the left ), passengers and cargo is not done at the same time, to be sure this will never happen.
As explained so many times in the past, GSX vehicles are not completely aware of each other at any time, because this would not just put lots of strain over Simconnect and the sim ( every vehicle should monitor the current position of all the others, continuously ), but doing this would introduce a whole new class of issues, like deadlocks of vehicles yelding to each other on the apron, which are very difficult to solve and already plague the default AI system, so we prefer to just skip the whole issue altogether, meaning some service cannot be performed at the same time, for example in this specific case when the loaders are on the same side as the passengers.

Ok thanks for your perspective.
Could you comment on the second part of my opening lmessage too regarding the jetbridge disconnects.
Kind regards

Hi, I was just wondering as it has been years since the last post. Are there any future plans to have a workaround on this issue? I'm not a technical developer but I'm thinking, it could be possible if you really want it to be done, to disable the passenger bus while having the baggage loading and passenger disembarking/boarding at the same time thus avoiding vehicle conflicts. For the ATR and other propellor aircraft in real life its usually walk in passengers from the airport terminal to the aircraft in any case. Since so much advancement in Flight Simulator has been achieved since the last post in this thread as well as the number of improvements you have notably taken towards your product, I'm just thinking maybe it can be done.
