Bus Service Gate->Plane

[janhaus]

Hey there,

first of all, I want to also say that this game is super awesome. I am completely in love after having followed the devblog for about a year now, and I must say that I had really high expectations of the game. However, the game exceeeds all expectations I had. It is super fun and I just can’t stop playing.
After having scrolled through the forum, I have already found so many great ideas on how to improve the game even more, and I’m really excited to see where the game is going and what changes will be implemented in the future.

One Idea, that I would love to see, and I’m not sure if this has already been mentioned, is an Airport Bus Shuttle Service.
I know, there have been lots of talks about interior transportation already, but I do not mean Busses transporting Passengers from e.g. Terminal A to B, but from a Boarding Gate to the actual stand of the plane.
This, I think, could really work well together with the “Backup Gates” or Gate Changes if a plane runs late:

If Plane A runs late and still blocks the Gate for Plane B, and all other Gates are also blocked or awaiting for a plane, passengers just board a bus to Plane B, which stands and waits at a backup-Gate, that is not directly connected to the Terminal.

Sorry if this has already been proposed, I just found busses for regular transportation or from Terminal A to B in the forum.

Thanks so much for an amazing game!

Great idea mate, these are planned and usually refered to as remote gates. Looking forward to their implementation.

Have a look at these…

Remote Stands- centralised discussion

Realise there has been (a LOT) of discussion on this but don’t think its ever had its own thread which it deserves as such a big future feature. If i’m being blind, please do merge! So obviously this is for after alpha release as it would throw up lots of issues I’m sure, but recent trip to a small airport gave me a thought at a potential easier first step for implementing remote stands. Here, the passengers walk along the pavement of the service road from the exit of one gate to the stand. I …

Different type of aircraft stands

Hi guys! This is my first post , i hope it will be appreciated… in aviation we have a lot of different type of stands , for example in London City Airport the plane has to turn around on the stand prior to stop , or in some big airports they have 3 jetway for the A380 etc etc i’m just curious to know if the game will have , maybe after the release of the prealpha , different type of stands and i will attach some photos so you guys can have a better idea of what i’m talking about and maybe if the…

Remote stands [Implemented]

What i think is that this game could have early/late into development is that we could have Remote stands and or Stands that take up more space but allows aircraft up to the size of an A320/B737 to turn around on under it’s own power like slots 91-98 at KIX Terminal 2 operated by Peach Airlines allowing aircraft to turn around under their own power. By making a 360 degree turn around, also we could have LCC Terminals as they have some options to remove from what we would consider a normal termin…

Hope they help!

Thanks
However, I didn’t want to propose Remote Stands, I know they are already in discussion

This was mainly about the busses

Could also work without the Remote Stands, just to have Regular Scheduled flights boarded by bus
