What is your suggestion?
Different amounts of vehicles at random around aircraft at stands. So one aircraft at a stand could have 2 catering vehicles, another 3 and another 4 at random, placed at random doors but always one at least one at the front and one at the rear. This could also apply to refuelling tankers as airports with no underground tanks/pipelines at a stand would require tankers to do the work as per in-game, with larger aircraft requiring more fuel and thus requiring multiple tankers, normally at once.
How would it work in the game?
More vehicles surrounding some planes, making the airport a little more diverse and randomised.
Why is this a good idea?
What improvement would this bring? Better usability, realism, fun factor, accessibility?It would bring a bit more variety to apron’s, especially for those who use their own fleet with the same aircraft. You’d have the same aircraft type with more or less vehicles around it a bit more randomised.
It is also more realistic with different aircraft types needing more lorries than others and some will have all lorries deliver at once as opposed to swapping over once one is empty. Same with refuelling tankers.
