how to make the jetways move ?

Featured Replies

Hello ,can`t get the jetways to move with Ctrl+JAirport Scenery is setted to dense.But they won`t move...............so what to do??Any knowledge here?cheerspmpilot

Assuming you are using default aircraft, make sure Airport Animations is also checked.

I'm afraid a have the same problem. Other animations work (most of the time) properly, like pushback truck, bagage belt & lorry, fuel truck. The jetways don't move, whatever plane type is used. Would be great to know what stirs them :( Greetz SVB

>Assuming you are using default aircraft, make sure Airport>Animations is also checked.that should read "Advanced Animations"

can someone please tell me what jetways are?thx

Also, it's important that you are parked at the right spot !So make sure your aircraft is lined up properly, and the nosewheel on or near the yellow crossline (the latter also applies to the pushback tugs).I've tied the jetways on various airports with various aircraft (737/747/airbus/CRJ) and it never gave a problem.Note that it won't work for all aircraft (like the Lear45).In fact it's a great animation, to see how the jetway is trying to find the proper position, in length, angle and heigth.Although the latter is not very accurate sometimes (the wheels of the jetway may sink in to the ground) but I most certainly can live with that :-)Rob

>can someone please tell me what jetways are?>>thxThe passenger "thingy" that connects the aircraft to the terminal building. See picture.Rob

Rob's picture shows what a jetway is. I just thought I'd add, think of it as a walkway to board a jet. :)

" ... think of it as a walkway to board a jet. :)"In other words: a Jetway ...LOLAlthough I must admit, that at first I didn't know what it was untill I noticed the "event" description in the SDK :-)Rob

I had this problem when I went to talk to the press in Europe. I think they're known as "skybridge" there.

thanks for clarifying thatits a nice touch, im gonna test it out :D

I still can't get them to move.All sliders to max, default ac, crtl+J ....No move at all...The fuel truck works, baggage works, etc...Tried several positions of the front wheel over the yellow line, and it still doesn't move...What's going on??

Seems to work for me only when I have one.-Rob
