| Simulate cargo and passenger loading/unloading times in X-Plane 12. With adjustable parameters for both boarding and deboarding, you can customize the time it takes to load or unload your aircraft in the .lua. This plugin integrates with SimBrief, allowing you to load your flight data and automatically set passenger and cargo numbers. It provides real-time updates on the progress of the loading process and a time estimate for completion in combiation with Simple Ground Equipment & Services.
Features ✈️
- Customizable loading times for cargo and passengers - in the dedicated section in the lua .
- Integration with SimBrief to load pax & cargo details or manual choice.
- Real-time progress bar for loading/unloading.
- Estimated times remaining for completion.
- Passengers start boarding with a delay unless the cargo is fully loaded before the end of the delay.
- Automatic sounds : to warn you of various stages, and ambient sounds depending on the stage.
- Quality voices generated with AI
- Quick access to Simchecklist.eu for your flight preparations.
- Does not alter aircraft weight or loading, so the plugin is compatible with any aircraft
- 🆕 In 1.6.7 : Now fully integrated with SGES (PAX & Cargo). Choose your starting/arrival point (Remote Stand, Gate W/o jetway or gate with jetway). Ground services will be fully automated according to your choice and the loading/unloading content. PAX will arrive depending on the bus, jetway, etc., so the timing of their arrival may vary.
- SGES remains optional, and your choice of location will be ignored.
Installation 🛠️
- Extract the contents of the archive.
- Place all files in the FlyWithLua/Scripts/ folder of your X-Plane installation.
- You can add a shortcut in x-plane key options : flywithlua > Simload Manager.
Prerequisites ⚠️
FlyWithLua plugin must be installed and activated in your X-Plane setup.
Optional but still really good 👍
- SimBrief account is required to import pax & cargo data.

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback.
If you install the Simple Ground And Equipment Services lua script (link in description) you will have passengers and vehicles coming automatically. I interfaced the two plugins together so that everything is automatic in SimloadManager 😁

If you open the LUA with notrpad++ or simply notepad. You'll find a section at the beginning that lets you set loading times for cargo and passengers.

Good plugin. Can you create an option for pounds other than kg? I was hoping it would change when loading with simbrief, but it doesnt.

Hello, being on the kilo system I confess it didn't even cross my mind 🥲 I'll make a note of it for the next update.
