I wonder if anyone knows of a stand-alone bit of software that would add air-stairs to jet aircraft? I don't mean moving stairs as with AES (though that would be great!) but just something that would create an image of stairs at the aircraft door. Some a/c (CLS etc.) do have this option, via an icon in the cockpit, but I assume that they are part of the model and cannot be incorporated into other planes. I wondered about trying to adapt the AES stairs - but that's a task and a half, even if it's possible, and the position would have to adaptable to fit various a/c types, (though that in itself wouldn't be too hard) - but Aerosoft may not like it anyway, copyright ot whatever...Have searched AVSIM and flightsim.com to no avail - but my success rate when Googling/searching is always depressingly low compared to others (or so it seems), so just maybe .... It would be good (in the constant quest for 'as real as it gets') at least to be able to imagine passengers climbing up a set of air-stairs rather than somehow clambering up the fuselage to get to their seats! (and the first person who tells me to 'get a life' is NOT a real flight simmer!) :-)Martin

If the aircraft has animated "air stairs", they are of course built into the aircraft model.About the best alternative I can think of would be to use one of the object placing programs and place a few mobile stair objects near some gates and/or parking spots so your aircraft and/or AI craft would be parking near to them.I have done this on a few airports to add a small sense of realism near the aircraft - much in the same way that having some baggage carts in the area does.Hope that helps.

I do have Rwy12 etc., but was really thinking of something that would 'run' from the aircraft panel.cfg.. That way the stairs could be 'tailored' to fit the a/c. May be over ambitious, if no one has created such a thing already.
