April 1, 201412 yr In FS2Crew the boarding takes about 20 minutes. I don't think this is realistic in a small aircraft with up to 74 passengers. A boarding time of about 5 minutes would be more realistic. Right now when doing a turnaround I got about 5 minutes for deboarding and refueling. A turnaround within 30 minutes certainly is possible in the Dash 8, but you wouldn't start the boarding 25 minutes prior to the ETD! Could this please be looked at again? I am sure you will get some more advice on the times during the turnaround from your real world advisors. Greetings from the 737 flightdeck!

April 1, 201412 yr Do not have this addon, but it's possible. I've boarded several small airplanes (real life, such as ATR 72, An-24, Tu-134, CRJ 200) and it takes forever due to confused passengers and troubles with luggage. Doesn't happen at major airports though.

April 2, 201412 yr As per second post, you can click on the 'time remaining' to fast forward one minute per click.
April 2, 201412 yr Boarding at 20-25 minutes before departure time is pretty realistic, if you've ever experienced Newark Airport which was my principle airport of operation, and wanted to be out of the gate early/on time.

April 3, 201412 yr The only way to have 5 min boarding time is to have 15 pax or less. 20 mins for full load sounds about right. If you re bored you can always click to fast forward as already advised above. Regards, Martin Martinov / VATSIM 1207931
April 4, 201412 yr Author Sure I know about the possibility simply to expidite it by reducing the time it takes, but the 30 Mins turnaround time overall are realistic. Now a question to you who say that 20 Mins are realistic: If it would take 20 minutes to board the aircraft that would mean about 1 passenger each 25 seconds. Now listen to the boardingsound and you know that there are a few more passengers boarded than only one each quarter minute. Then at least the boardingsound should be changed... Also, where is the deboarding/refueling, etc? I believe this should belong to a turnaround too. Since you claim a turnaround is possible is the Dash, why isn't this simulated then?
