Presently the boarding process of pax fuel and cargo happens much faster than possible in reality. This is no problem for thoose who wish to get in the air quickly.
Since FSCaptian is trying to simulate reality;
Can there be an option (maybe a "slider" in a config field) to give a range of time it takes to load and un load a plane. This slider could contain maybe possiblities from - very quick to real time. When set to real time then random delays of baggage loading or special needs pax should be possible. Fully loading a 747-400 takes over an hour in reality. To watch the fuel guages rise slowly would be a great way to convince the FSCaptian that fuel is acutually being loaded.
Along these lines if it were possible for the FSCaptian System to handle the moving jetways (FSX) and aircraft doors that would make for a more real simulation , because in most airline cases pilots have nothing to do with doors and jetways :-)

Hm, the boarding process used to be a lot slower and I sped it up thinking people would get impatient! For me it seems to take forever...
Adding an option is probably the way to go. I don't like the idea of "one minute" or "two minutes" regardless of the number of PAX. I would support "average seconds per PAX" as the option.

I agree with the Avgrage seconds per PAX idea. Thanks.

+1 Could be very nice indeed, especially when I am using the PMDG MD-11 with it's own refueling system that take quite a long time to refuel 110t of fuel... Talking about the PMDG MD-11, it's own FMS is taking care to refuel the plane as desired and in the proper order for the tanks. Is there any issue with FsCaptain? Is it possible to avoid FsCaptain refueling the plane with the MD-11?? Didn't try enough FsCaptain to known that yet (due to the FCOM installer not working with me). Alex

If you fuel your aircraft before starting the FSC auto load, there is no problem. FSC shows the amount of fuel needed before commiting the flight.

Allright, great.
Thanks for the answer.
