Note! PMDG now supports that you can start boarding/deboarding without calling the bus. As such, this mod is now outdated.
A majority of airports in Northern Europe that doesn't have jetways, and alot of airports around the world, has direct boarding from the terminal to the aircrafts - so no bus are used.
This small mod removes the model of the bus. You still need to call the bus in order to start the boarding, but at least you won't have the thing clipping into the terminal right in your line of sight.
Ensure to read the enclosed readme, as you'll need to replace an existing file; not just a drag and drop into the community folder.
Please note that after an update of the aircraft, this addon might have to be reinstalled. For update 31 that was released the 29th of July 2022, no action was needed, but that might change for future updates.
This does not appear to work for me. Followed instructions as per readme + restart sim (multiple times) - tried redownloading and starting from scratch.

Was this for the 700 or the 600? I have not updated the readme for the 600 yet, so you need to replace the model in the 600 folder as well.

Great idea to just replace the model with an empty gltf. I'd have done the same if I wanted to make this. I appreciate it very much since I also live in Norway with my local airport being ENHD.
I think it might be possible to make this as a drag 'n drop as well, I'm not experienced enough with that to make it though. The only downside to doing it like this is that the bus will come back with every aircraft update, so the removal will have to be re-installed. Maybe add that to the description?

Thanks for your comment!
I'm not sure how to make this as a drag-drop addon. The positive thing is that no action was needed after yesterdays update to the 700, and the 600 should also be supported with no action.
I'll add to the description that after an update, a re-install of this addon might be required.

Funny because I literally just made a request on PMDG's website for the bus to be optional. My flight from Burbank is a perfect example of this.

Yeah, I did the same, but they basically said that would never happen, so then I made this little thing.
