Small Baggage Bay

This is an example drawing of alternative baggage bay. (I know I am not Picasso :stuck_out_tongue: ) The point is, current baggage bay is HUGE in compare of small airport with only small stands. For example this was one of my test airport and yet baggage bay would be bigger than terminal:

Red line is deboarding baggages and green line is boarding baggages. This new baggage bay can be operated by 2,3, or Max 4 ramp agents. At least 1 ramp agent will work on either loading or unloading. Working principal is same as current bagggae bay. System allows to work with only 1 baggage truck on each time. Baggage truck approaches from 1 direction as seen in picture.

Compare to current baggage bay, this design has to be 1/4 smaller. So if current bagggae bay size is X, this new bagggae bay has a size of X/4.

User can try to build massive int. airport with these bays but he is responsible with delayed bags/flights and angry PAX. As you can see it is designed to be used with smal aircrafts with few baggages.

I will also post a feature suggestion via bug report system. So what do you think?

Thanks

This is a great idea. Good stepping stone to building a more robust baggage system.

The size is needed because baggage trucks need to park beside them. I donโ€™t see how this small design would be functional in terms of vehicle parking.

Could be useful for small airports, I would find some use for. Aslo its probably easy to code since we already have the large one (Jettuh would draw it anyway :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: ).

I am sure it is nothing for @Jettuh 's amazing skills :wink: But it is more about @Olof since he would decide to add such a new object for baggage system.

EDIT

See how much area it takes to build a bagggae bay? 5 x 4 (or small 20 x 16) squares. It is oversized for a small airport. Thatโ€™s why bay with 2 x 1 (8 x 4) squares would be suitable.
