Choosing which side to come through?
« on: February 11, 2012, 06:15:32 pm »
Is there any way now, or is there plans in the future to be able to order the catering truck and the stairs to come to the door you want them to come to, such as the left front, left rear, right front, right rear? My answered about the Level-D was answered by Leve-D staff, where they clarified that there is no way for me to open the right front door to let the caterer come through. Otherwise it looks like the caterer is a super human and able to go through walls.

Well, we'll think about this, but it should be made in spite of realism. For example, the real MD11 has a separate baggage door on the left side.

But the 767 has proper service doors on the right side, it would't be right to let the catering on the left side, just because not all airplanes have animated it properly, also because having the same door used for passengers and catering would conflict with the whole operation logic.

I have to say it was disappointing (when we made the customization for it) to discover the Level-D 767, which is still great product today, doesn't have a complete set of animated doors. I'm not expecting they would go overboard like Captain Sim, which animates everything even the unnecessary (although it makes for an airplane which is quite fun to use), but at least the main exit, cargo and service doors should be modeled, since even default airplanes have them.

I agree, it is a shame Level-D didn't model the doors to operate. Well, I guess I will just have to settle until the possibility of an upgrade on FSDT side, or just deal with it all together. Thanks for answering at least.
