Boarding Screen

The boarding screen feature adds realistic immersion to your flight simulation by displaying a passenger boarding interface that mimics what you'd see at a real airport gate. This screen shows passengers waiting to board, creating an authentic pre-flight atmosphere that enhances the overall simulation experience.

How It Works​

The boarding screen is displayed directly in your Cabby flight page.

Layout Options​

You can choose from four different boarding screen layouts to match your preferences and setup. Simply hover over the boarding screen area to reveal the layout selection options. Each layout offers a different visual style and information display format.

External Display Setup​

Opening in Browser​

Click the "Open in Browser" button to launch the boarding screen in a separate browser window. This allows you to display the boarding screen on any external monitor, TV, or secondary display device.

Using External Devices​

You can display the boarding screen on any external device, including TVs, tablets, or other computers on your network. This is perfect for creating a realistic gate environment in your flight simulation setup.
