Boarding Gates - multiple floors (experimental branch)

[WhattyWhatWhat81]

Not sure if being on the exp branch is relevant but just in case.

I have 20 remote stands (small) which operated well until I added a 1st floor to my terminal. Due to a new layout I moved the boarding gate to floor 1. Since then I have been unable to connect the boarding gate to the airport shuttle stop. Connecting to the stand is fine, and stand to service car stop is fine. Any ideas?

Does the boarding gate have to be on floor 0 to use remote stands (via shuttle bus) ?

Cheers

For small stands, boarding desk on level 0, not level 1.

It's only when using the shuttle bus though. works fine if the passengers walk to the stand. i think it's true for medium stands too... basically level 0 if you want to use shuttle buses; level 1 if you want to use a jetway (medium stand only); any level if passengers walk to the stand (directly onto the plane or using stair truck once at the stand depending on small/medium)

Would be nice to see this changed to allow a boarding gate level (level 1) and then either jetway (small stand) or escalators down to level 0 to get out onto the path/tarmac either to the stand or shuttle bus stop

From Stoner on another thread just now... fixes the problem in my initial post, although level 0 and 1 rather than 0 and -1 (same theory). thanks

You CAN connect Stands and Checkin Desks from Level 0 to Level -1. Click the Stand/Checkin-Desk; click the Baggage icon. Hit your PageDown key (goes to Level -1). Select the Cargo Bay. Done.

And now an issue with connecting to security... again only for small stands which are level 0. Boarding (level 1) via shuttles (level 0) is now working thanks to the above from Stoner. With no option to connect boarding gates to security checks, has my plan come unstuck?

ok so i decided to try a level 0 security checkpoint for the small stands ("might be nice if you could split a terminal due to this quirk" was my thinking) but alas as soon as that checkpoint became available all stands (small and medium) connected to it. The small stands then decided to connect to the checkpoints on level 1.

So... all stands connected to all checkpoints as I had wanted in the first place. Therefore delete the level 0 checkpoint and all stands now go through level 1! Hurrah!

I am left wondering if you need the level 0 to be created to force the small stands to 'find' security...
