This isn't just for 787 but that's what I'm using at the moment.

Is it possible to put a pause button on the preflight screen to stop the counter (and associated events).

If I'm using GSX and refuelling is taking longer - or I was late to start boarding etc, it would make it a lot more realistic where I won't have the cabin manager telling me we are ready to go and we haven't even started boarding yet.

 

It's an interesting idea.  I'll consider it.

But you have like way over 30 minutes.  How much time does GSX need?

It can take 40 minutes to fill a 787 for a long haul flight - so add boarding / deboarding (for some reason GSX won't refuel QW 787 when boarding/deboarding even with an aerobridge).

It's not really my point that we need more time, just trying to simulate real life where not every turnaround goes to plan, fuel trucks are busy etc.  It makes it more dynamic rather than every turnaround going to script every time - that gets boring very fast.

I believe GSX are working on an API so maybe one day your boarding events can fire GSX requests - that would be awesome (unless UGCX expands to replace GSX completely).

Okay, in the meantime I might suggest selecting the International Turn around time.  That'll give you 60 minutes in FS2Crew.

TURN-AROUND TIME: INTL (T+60)
