I’ve played like 3 times and still can’t get how it works, like the passengers just go over the crosswalk to the plane and that’s it? Does the door to the crosswalk generate automatically? Can you put a small stand somewhere else and have the passengers take a bus to the plane?
Thanks in advance
They go out a door where the crosswalk is, remote stands are not in the game yet so commercial flights need to be attached to the terminal.
Oh, shame, I just think I saw remote stands in the Alpha Gameplay videos. Cheers for the help
What video did you see that and at what moment?
But that probably is a GA stand, can’t remember seeing one.
They can be place anywhere you like.

Yeah. Must be GA stands - Airport CEO: Pre-Alpha Gameplay Video (Part 3) - YouTube (on the right)

Remote stands are not yet implemented, decoupled boarding desks are implemented but they (for a very little time till). They walk with a direct path at the moment but I will soon update that to get the ability to build boarding corridors.

So what you are saying is, that i actually will be able to place the boarding desk like this without people walking trough walls?

No,they will use the door if I am correct. At least I always placed a medium door at the pedestrian crossing. But try out and tell us if it works.
I am unsure that will work, as those are remote stands. Give it a go, but don’t expect it to work. Normally commercial flights require the stand be right up against the terminal. Be prepared to extend your terminal up to the service road there. When you do that, a special door is made that the people go through, you do not make the gate door yourself.
You can move from the terminal to a small stand via a secure area crosswalk. I did a “commuter concourse” this way.

That’s sweet. I don’t think the OP will work though with sidewalks, he might get it to work with an overlay of crosswalks though if yours worked.
I haven’t tested, but I’m pretty sure crosswalks are limited to roads (regular or service).
Related, I attempted originally to make this an “open air” boarding area using tarmac and fencing (placing the boarding desks back in the main terminal area) but you can’t designate tarmac as a secure zone. Though those are fewer and fewer, there’s still some of that type around.

Once the small stand is turned on for commercial, it becomes a secure area on its own. You’ll have to have a boarding desk available for it as well (before turning on commercial flights).
Click somewhere on the stand and this dialog pops up. Enable commercial flights using the right slider.

I can confirm that remote stands are very much possible and do work via crosswalks/secure zones. People even use the Sidewalks and are not running directly into the turbines of another plane 
Screenshot follow when I am at home somewhen tonight.
Stands are always secure so no need to paint it.
Looking into this. They are using what we call direct path when boarding. If the sidewalk is secure, they should be able to plot a path to the stand but need to verify this.

I also can confirm it. But I found a pathfinding bug in that case.
On first Picture you see the arrival passengers, walk correctly on the as secure zone marked walkway (3. Pic).
On second Pic you see de boarding departure passengers walk directly from Boarding desk to the plane stand entry and not on marked area.

I’ve used a path like this and secured the path. Arriving passengers plot a route following the secured path. Departing passengers go in a direct line from boarding desk to the plane, ignoring walls.

So basically you build remote stands and they work. I’m gonna try this tonight myself with longer distance in between.
