[Other] - Service vehicles

Vehicles coming from Terminal and stand
When the plane comes into the stand at a normal airport, you already have the cargo/luggage trailers, passenger jet ramps & stairs, catering trucks, etc…

  • UI – For Vehicles to come from buildings instead of thin air.

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
For any of the service vehicles coming from buildings instead of thin air, Like passenger buses coming from terminals and same with luggage cars.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
When a plane lands, there are already essential vehicles waiting, Once you activate the service of the kind. Example lets say passenger gets enabled then a bus will come close and be ready for the service and once its full it will drive back to the terminal and unload and then return, for larger aircraftb it can be more buses.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
Because it is realistic

:camera_with_flash: Optional: Image or reference
Like Airport PRG and real life.


Totally agree with this, it is really weird seeing these vehicle just disappear into mist haha. While I don’t think the level of complexity like airportPRG has them where you have to manually drop off pax and refuel the trucks, it would be really nice if you would actually see them driving to and from different airplanes and then their respective docks/bays.

the devs said that it is to resource intense for low end devices and they dont want to make two game versions (high end vs low end)

If I’m correct, there are several things that the devs said that they still did do. So it is also a suggestion for a feature request, so I don’t need you coming along and putting down my post.

my bad was not intended to be negative rather reasurring and having hope aswell

As per this post from 10 days before yours, [Other] - Ground Vehicles Should Not Spawn Instantly , the vehicles are linked to the aircraft type and stand type and are not a separate entity. It would require an astronomical amount of work to make the vehicles dependant on the airport infrastructure which is different for every stand. It would put a lot of strain on a simulation already struggling with IAD. I’d personally love to see the mobile lounge at Dulles but it would be too much work to implement. I do admit that it is strange to see them vanish like Scotch Mist but it’s something that isn’t within the games scope sadly.
