Sinking Jetways

[Jeff Nielsen 1,385]

Was wondering if someone could help me figure this one out.  Made a video describing the issue.  Much easier than typing.

As far as I can remember, they've always done that...

What Russ said. SODE jetways don't however.

I have SODE installed.

But each airport needs to implement SODE Jetways, this is done by developers.

Default Jetways are not SODE.

Right.  I've tried at default airports and the add-on as seen in the video.  I guess I'm confused.  When I taxi the wheels also kick up debris.  That led me to believe it was maybe a afcad issue?

I remember back in the day that's how we solved the issue, at least for sunken wheels, etc.

The GMAX WheelsGroundLock attribute for the integrated IK jetways has been broken since FSX SP1 (circa 2008 IIRC) and is still broken in all versions of FSX and P3D.  The only way I know of to avoid the sinking wheels is for the scenery dev to use SODE instead of IK, or another form of custom animation (e.g. AES with boxed FSX).  But pretty much all of the CTRL-J/IK jetways will have this issue.  It has nothing to do with the ground surface materials.
