With the same performance as Mega Aerosoft Düsseldorf (EDDL) LHS LHBP looks way better.

 

 

 

GSX moves default FSX jetways only.

 

AES-supported airports replace the default jetways by ones which can be moved by AES (only).

 

LHS LHBP jetways can only be moved by AES, as soon as AES gets updated with LHS LHBP. (Not yet with the current version.)

 

UK2000 airports have an option in the installer to either install default ones or AES-supported ones.

 

For AES, download the (free) basepack from either Aerosoft or from Simmarket. Install it and use Nuremberg (EDDN) as a demo airport to explore AES functions. You'll also get the manuals with the basepack, which explain the credit stuff.

 

GSX also offers a demo version.

'gsx moves the default jetways' What does it mean exactly? I don't understand what gsx/aes even has to do with moving the jetway. The sim has that feature by default.

Picked that up today, to replace the Aerosoft Budapest.......   this one is STUNNING!

 

I tell you, with this airport and Drzewiecki's Polish Airports and standalone Krakow EPKK, there is some stunning flying to be done in Eastern Europe now!

That's it, Dave. You've convinced me.If you like it then I'm going to get both. The other day when I purchased 4 airports from Taxi2gate as the £ was strong v $, I was musing on adding that EPKK but gave it a miss. Now it's on offer at 30% off, I'll get it. Thanks for your feedback on both.

The sim moves jetways on default airports. With an addon airport there are two ways to implement jetways:

 

1) standard jetways, operated by an FSX hotkey command. That's what GSX relies on, as it tells you to trigger jetway movement by your default hotkey.

 

2) custom jetways that are triggered by some different command. The most common variant is to map the custom scenery command to the AES 'move jetways' command . This way you move the jetways on AES-supported airports by the hotkeys defined for your AES installation. When preparing for pushback, the sequence of hotkeys is triggered automatically from within the AES 'engine'.

Hmm.. what benefit do I get from moving jetways via aes?

 

I'm not sure, but I guess some add-ons are made so you must buy aes for the jetways to move and some are like this one which is working with either aes or without it?

Yep, it depends on the addon airport:

 

Some airports have jetways that can't be moved anymore by the default key command - for those airports it's either AES or jetways remain static.

Sounds like a money milking move to me.

 

Hope I'm wrong.

I've wondered that myself. I don't understand why addon airports don't use default FSX jetways, then EVERYONE can use them. Perhaps AES is much easier to program and implement for the airport addon makers.

Its a real pet peeve of mine

I somehow doubt that. Moving jetways are simply another animation that has to be programmed by the dev.. similar to the vehicles moving around the airport, I really can't see anything special about it.

 

I also guess most airports using aes exclusively are made by aerosoft? or do other devs stick to it as well? by sticking to it, I mean, not implementing default jetway trigger.

 

Maybe someone has a different explanation.

Even though AES

 

- supports a number of freeware airports

- supports a number of payware airports with zero credits

- includes a 'reward' scheme with up to 30% of additional credits depending on the number of credit packs you own

- services FSX and FS9 airports with the same credits (usually no extra credits if you use the same airport by the same developer in the other MSFS version as well)

 

it becomes expensive over time.

 

GSX is a pay-once-use-on-all-airports-worldwide investment.

Ok, so what are the disadvantages of gsx? airports that only work with aes? What I see here is a monopoly over airports using this 'aes' product, if that is indeed true.

GSX works on AES-supported airports without any problems. Only the default jetway hotkey is INOP.

I don't really know how the whole AES thingy works behind the scenes, but from what I read it seems to me that the scenery developer does not have to do anything except 1) allow Aerosoft to implement AES on that particular airport and 2) model the static jetway. All the custom animation of the jetways are then up to Aerosoft. (Please correct me if I'm wrong here). So if I understood it correctly, using AES saves the scenery developer some time. Besides, those custom jetways usually fit the plane much better than the sometimes weird-acting default jetways.

 

@Oliver: You were wrong earlier - I didn't have the slightest idea there were any Austrian freeware airports supported by AES -_-, so thanks for pointing me that direction.

 

 

On a side note: Wasn't this supposed to be about Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport? :rolleyes:

This add on looks amazing. Man, now i want this and Polish Airports Vol1 v3 !!

I own this LH Simulations LHBP, the Drzewiecki Design Polish Airports Vol 1 (v3), and Drzewiecki Design Krakow, as well as SkyHighSim Belgrade and Taxi2Gate Bratislava, and let me tell you, I'm having a hard time leaving Eastern Europe!

 

Some of these airports are a bargain!! ...... Belgrade is only EUR 10 (plus tax) and is pretty good.

 

Next on the list is TropicalSim Tirana (Albania), then I'll have a fantastic network within Eastern Europe. :cool:
