ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
While waiting for ages for my Boeing 737 passengers to board, I noticed that the mission step for boarding completion runs MUCH faster in external airplane view vs. cockpit view.
In cockpit view the % is practically not increasing, in external view it is an acceptable rate.

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. load a 737 mission
  2. request boarding
  3. compare boarding speed between cockpit (slow) and external (fast) view

I have a workaround:

  • Open ATC Window
  • tune GROUND → Stop Boarding
  • boarding finishes instantly
  • proceed with pushback/mission as normal.

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately that left me with “request IFR clearance” afterwards, which went green when activated (enter) but did nothing.
Then I skipped to Taxi and the mission failed because not all pre-flight procedures were completed.

the iFR clearance bug happens alot. I have a workaround for this too.
you can just request IFR in the air.

  • Request Boarding Stop
  • Request pushback manually ( pushback needed to clear the preflight stage )
  • you wont be able to request taxi because mission bugged.
  • Skip to Take Off
  • Request Take Off Clearance ( if available - sometimes it isnt )
  • Take Off

After Take Off

  • contact Center
  • Request Flight following
  • Request IFR ( with flight plan if available ).

Basically - if you need to skip to take off - you can only do this after pushback and after boarding has stopped.

Passengers are being stuck when you are not looking at them. That’s funny but yeah… external camera always has passengers in sight. Cockpit camera should be turned towards passengers so they will move.
I wish people who released this raw game with so many bugs would eat raw food with same amount of bugs.
Good luck and let’s hope they will ever care to fix at leas some bugs :wink:

That was also my impression, that it could be related to whether the boarding passengers are in sight or not.
Would explain why external view works better.

If that is the case, that would really be a “nice try” mechanic and completely unnecessary complexity in programming imo… propably no player will sit there counting the number of boarding passengers. A simple counting up of the boarding % in an acceptable timeframe would be enough.

Skip to takeoff is too dangerous with the 737

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Boarding in the 737 takes like 20-35 minutes alone.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes and it did not change anything.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Randomly, but well over 50% of all times I try it.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load into any Airline Pilot mission (freelancer)
  2. See how the boarding goes.
  3. Be fortunate if it completed before your next birthday.

The screenshot doesn’t really show anything other than it is taking VERY long for the boarding to be completed. Pretty annoying that you can’t skip, its taking like 20 minutes alone!
