I really I'm liking the FBW FS2 Crew software. Wont fly without it anymore! Thanks for the great work! I have a request which in my opinion would give even a more realistic emergence. After parking and shutting off engines, the flow continues to bring the jetway to the plane. Can the flow also contain the baggage and food truck to show? That would be great to have for deboarding. Also to reset the program for a turn a round flight or new flight without having to exit all the programs and restarting msfs. It's a little quirky if you don't. IE no tug shows for push when doing a return or new flight. 

Glad you like it! 😀

The problem is the baggage animation doesn't show unloading animations as far as I know.  It only shows a loading animation... someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, you can do a 2nd leg without restarting FS2Crew.

If you click the PFE events button on the 2nd leg, you should get the same events (with the ground vehicles) you got on the 1st leg (catering, baggage, etc).

Remember the tug will only show if a tug is physically present at your parking spot.  So ensure one is there.

Cheers,

 

To get the ground vehicles operating after parking at the gate, I have started Pushback Express while taxiing into the gate, and then click the services for the ground vehicles to connect after parking, such as baggage cart, GPU and catering truck.  The jetway is automatically connected.  Works great, although as Bryan states, the baggage belt is loading the bags rather than removing them but that's an MSFS issue, not PBE.  

It would be great to have flow as recommended, such as "Arrival Ground Vehicles Flow" or something along those lines that would be triggered along with the jetway connect in place currently.

Good stuff....

What vehicles would you want for arrival?

Baggage is loading not unloading... catering would come again during the PFE events... so you'd essentially then have two catering trucks.

Fuel comes during the PF events, so that'd be redundant.

Only extra one we could do is power.

 

 

Excellent question.  It really depends on whether one is doing a turnaround or the end of this particular flight.  I for one rarely do a turnaround but that's just my preference.

PFE is good but takes much longer time to see the baggage and catering trucks. 

Typically on arrival its immediately GPU and baggage, perhaps a catering truck too.  Fuel would be redundant as you said.

I understand the baggage direction on arrival would be loading but that's the only option currently in MSFS.  Hopefully someday they can provide both directions. 

Trigger on jetway or stair connect:

1. GPU

2. Baggage

3. Catering

It would involve adding another config option "Final sector" or something.

Easily do-able, but we've already got so many options... we're trying not to bury people in options.

 

Yes, understand not wanting to overdo it with checkboxes. 

It works manually with PBE now so its a few clicks.  Lets put it on the wish list for a future release.

Can you add for Voice to Text subtitle on this program since I don't see any accessibility for people with disabilities, we really want to know what co pilot are saying! that would be nice have this feature.

 

Many thanks

Yes, that is a good idea.. it depends if Asobo has fixed the Simconnect message box/tips.  They were a bit funky last time we checked.

 

Bryan, do u can add follow me car?

Scenery data in marketplace airports is encrypted, meaning we can't read the scenery.  This represents a very large obstacle for things like Follow Me Cars, etc.

I was sad after reading your comment. I hope that this will be changed later by asobo?

I hope so.
