Pilot and Crew Boarding Timings
« on: November 30, 2022, 10:25:28 am »
Morning

Currently if you select 'Both', the crew does not start until pilot boarding has finished and if there is 'walking' to board this can increase the boarding time vastly.

Can you change this to improve the realism of the complete crew boarding, as in the RW they all walk together and leave the crew bus together, again they walk as indivduals with massive gaps between each person.

Thanks

There's no clear consent if they always board together, real life is usually more varied:

No problem, so can you apply that randomness to GSX?

Just don't bother with the Cockpit/Cabin boarding and select "None". It's totally unrealistic in GSX anyway since nowhere in the world pax starts boarding just a few seconds after the crew. It simply doesn't make sense.

Obviously in the real world cabin+cockpit board *together* since they are coming from the briefing they did together and usually remain together on the full duty which can last multiple days, they even switch aircraft together if their next flight is on another airframe.
The post Umberto linked is obviously an exception (nobody said they *always* board together) but modeling the exceptional case instead of the far more common just adds to the bunch of issues why I don't even bother with cabin/cockpit boarding.

The OP wanted to have them boarding together to save some time during boarding, not to make it more "realistic", by adding an extra pause before the passengers.
