EFB bugs (and suggestions)
The EFB 'service' panel has some weird bugs on the 787-9 (I dont have the -8 so I dont know if it's the same), which I'll list them below:
-
Catering option makes the aircraft crash for some reason
-
When the jetway option is clicked, both the jetway AND the air-stair will clip into each other to connect to the left door. The air-stair always spawns out of nowhere, and just ruins the flight for me a little.
-
When clicked on the jetway option, door FWD left and door AFT left both open up. For door FWD left that's fine, since it's getting connected to the jetway, but the AFT door just opens up for no reason. Same goes when you click on door FWD left, both the FWD and AFT door open up
-
Door FWD right and AFT right dont open when clicked on.
-
When clicked on door cargo FWD, door FWD left and door AFT left open up for some reason, and the cargo doors won't.
-
Door cargo AFT has no function
suggestions:
Just like the PMDG, is it possible to add ground crew vehicles that are static and have no function? like the cargo loaders, 2 or 3 catering trucks instead of just one or air stairs on the FWD and AFT door when there is no jetway available. Companies like swissport or d'nata, and KLM ground services when chossing the KLM livery. (example provided)
Since GSX isn't available on xbox, we miss out on a bit of realism. Adding this make it a bit more realistic. If this isn't possible then I understand.
I hope these bugs will get fixed soon, other than that, I cannot wait for future updates on this aircraft

Regarding the ground equipment. We can change logos for each operator but the reality is that you will land at JFK and the track will say KLM. So Swissport and Dnata are the best options.
This was done several months ago. This will work with the new EFB.
The one thing that we have to do before releasing this update is to control the interior lighting.
Because this is a mod that is tricky to build on, we had to put it on hold and focus on other elements that are now about to be wrapped up.
For the crashing issue we recommend to ENABLE Remove crash until the plane is 100% 2024 native.
2- I've noticed that myself that the stairs and jetway approach the plane in 2024 at the same time. This is forcing us to possibly make a simple-2024-native jump and then we can add what we need.
3-Both doors open because at the moment there's no individual control. And it's already done with the new upcoming EFB which can do this.
The AFT door opens to accommodate the GSX users in order to load passengers via the rear. And I've personally seen this door open without any stairs attach to them at JFK. I should had taken a photo so people would believe me. I think is a cleaning process, I'm assuming. But it's not a popular thing to find on the internet. It's something you stumble upon in the real world.5/6- This is a product of an incomplete EFB function that was forgotten midway it's build due to the fact that the developer had to do some work in another country. And so our EFB was incomplete and I didn't want to release the plane at an unknown date.
With the new EFBv2-Boeing version, it controls everything correctly.
Thank you for replying. The ground equipment looks really good! I'm looking forward to it. Will the EFB update come out on update 5?
Francis @LeadDeveloper2026-03-18 14:44:04.795ZHi, yes it will be out for Update 5.
I'm moving as fast as I can. But being precautious as well.
