January 25, 201115 yr PMDG,I just recently discovered that some 737's have electrical stairs that are stored below the front left door that can be automaticly deployed, and I was wondering, will the NGX feature this? It seems like that was a good idea when stairs or a jetway arn't avalible...Thanks, Spencer Hayes My Layout HP HPE-510y Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 16.8 clock speed!

January 25, 201115 yr just as an aside...I was thinking about this whilst playing with the FS9 ver in FSX (multiple models with and w/out stairs) - with weight being a premium, what additional weight does this add to the standard NGX? J Thomas YBBN
January 25, 201115 yr Stairs were once standard on the aircraft, however, many airlines removed them due to weight and difficulty in operation (they would jam). They are now an option.Cheers,Nick Jones
January 25, 201115 yr Fixed, and thanks for the fast reply... :(Hey Mate-What Ryan means is put it in your signature so you do not have to post your name every time, or at the end of every post on the PMDG forums you will have to write it!!

January 25, 201115 yr Come on, don't make shortcuts ... We found the way back to tranquility ...Regarding the stairs, what is the weight of it ? As asdf987 said, this got to be a serious one ?! In which case do company take this option ? Small airports ? The advantage must be real regarding extra fuel cost !
January 25, 201115 yr They are used to save on costs too, it's cheaper than parking at a gate with a jetway or using ground equipment stairs. The aircraft can park at an empty remote ramp and deploy it's own steps :) Alaister Kay
January 25, 201115 yr Is that bike included too?it's not a bike, it is follow me vehicle for ryanair. second officer drives it and he get off and grab it when 737 arrives the runway. Cenk Demir Besiktas JK 1903

Just in case you didn't know. Matthew Bellette
