TFDi MD-11 Freighter - No boarding stairs?

Featured Replies

I can't seem to find any capability in this aircraft addon, to deploy stairs for the crew to access / exit the aircraft?

In the 'Services' menu, there are only options for doors, GPU, etc, but no options for stairs.

As Freighters are less likely to use jetways, this is a real immersion breaker!

Am I missing anything?

The only way I have found is to use GSX.

Ah that's disappointing (as I don't use GSX).

I can't help but think that TFDi have missed a trick here.  No way for the crew to get in and out of the freighter! (unless they take a rope with them 😀)

It's missing from the passenger version too, but at least there's the option to use a gate with jetway.   The 'services' page is sparse; just doors to open and the GPU / ASU.

I'm just glad it's getting  regular  updates.
