ATC observations

Hi all and I hope this gets to the developers team. I have been ATC at my home airport CYUL for some time now as well as my other favourite airports and I have been noticing that with the recent upgrade especially the 777 that pilots have a tendency to leave doors and or cargo doors open when taxing or flying and I don’t have any way of advising them to check their aircraft before moving to the runway. Do you think there could be a way for the IF developers to add in the “other messages” category a line saying “check all doors” or something like that to make it look more realistic hope to hear back soon

@Alec made a feature request with the intention on preventing the pilots to push back with the doors open. This should prevent flights with the doors open

Doors Open Warning Before Pushback

This is just kind of a way to prevent pilots from leaving their doors open for flights. Its not really stopping them from doing it, just giving a warning that the doors are open if indeed they want to close them. Why do we need this? If you have ever been looking through replays and found the perfect screenshot with another plane, and then realized they have their doors open, it sorta ruins the picture. Also, its annoying when you legitimately forget that you left them open and realize halfw…

Unfortunately I believe that is a glitch in the game ive noticed it as well and I believe the devs are aware of it

Yeah it’s a glitch. There’s also this request if you’re interested:

ATC -> Aircraft "Check your aircraft."

I used to have more screenshots until my recent phone change, but it’s all too often I see pilots that have forgotten to close all of the doors or hatches on their aircraft before beginning their taxi. The pilot in this particular photo was landing at KLAX at the time. [Screenshot_20210407-120050629] In the name of realism, I think it would be a good idea to throw a Misc. Message in there for a controller to request that a pilot check their aircraft for open hatches. Of course a pilot forgett…
