Severity: Blocker

Bug description: Medevac variant is loading wounded, doctor and nurses when flight starts. I checked the C90 and it is also doing this.

My other variants are working. So I suspect it has to do with making this a Medevac career.

Hello @Flysimware

Can you provide more details about the game mode and what behavior you expect exactly?

When loading up on a ramp I expect all passengers which in this case is the wounded, doctors and nurse to not be visible with no weight. The Nurse shows 160 pounds and the others have zero weight. If you remove all weight from the EFB then they all hide.

  1. They should not show right after load.
  2. Should have control based on weight for each passenger.

This was tested on the Beechcraft C90 default aircraft to confirm this is not my project only. Same exact behavior.

Hello @Flysimware

Are you observing a mismatch between EFB config and passengers?
Here’s what I have when spawning the C90 on a ramp, which seems like the expected behavior to me:

I observe a few strange things. Keep in mind this is for free flight not a career. The career is ok.

  1. When you first load on ramp they are already loaded. That is not default behavior correct?
  2. The nurse is 160 pounds and the others are zero.
  3. Then if you use the EFB you can remove everyone. But if you try to add the nurse only I think others follow. This might be standard behavior as they are a team. But the weight is then only accurate. Not on first load.

Conclusion. Check weights on first load and confirm if they should be loaded on first load. That seems to be wrong.

Hello @Flysimware

This is the expected behavior.
This is the result of how the medical cabin service is configured in freeflight and cannot be adjusted per aircraft.

I will log an issue still, so this is reviewed by the design team and they can decide to expose more control or not.

Sylvain

Hi @FlyingRaccoon

I went to make a mini video today and show the weights right after load. And today they all have their exact weight. And I have not touched the Medevac variant since before this report. So that is weird as it worked perfectly today. Except having them already loaded on ramp is a bit strange as no other variant has this behavior.
