Air stairs not touching ground

[B77X 2]

Hi

 

I have noticed that the air stairs on the NGX do not touch the ground and that they leave quite a dangerous gap.

 

Is there a fix for this?

 

Thanks

You don't want to hurt those virtual passengers.

 

Can you send a shot.. honestly I have never noticed.

You can see it in this image. Actually in the sim, the gap looks a lot bigger.

Ah... but, you see... with a light or tail-heavy airplane... there actually is space between the bottom of real airstairs and the airport surface.

Hey, I was going to say let some air out of the tires  :lol:

I just tried it.. cant really tell on my PC.

 

oh well.. I guess not many airlines IRL use the built in airstairs.. Ryanair is the only one I can think of.. rest use gates or ground equipment stairs.

Most airlines don't use these because of the additional weight it adds to the aircraft.
