Floating jetways

Featured Replies

I've arrived at a couple of flights recently (into DD KJFK and Aerosoft MYNN) and the jetways are floating above ground like this https://imgur.com/Vk6oPGb

Can anyone help?

thanks

If you're running GSX you might try restarting COUATL.  I have this issue whenever landing, but restarting COUATL from the menu resets them to ground level for me.

Seems to be a known issue since GSX Pro was released. Hopefully fsdt will be able to fix it sometime.

I tried restarting Couatl but all the jetways then disappeared, couldn't access the GSX menu, and the GSX option in the add on menu had also disappeared.

Loads of problems with FSDT GSX updates recently. Extremely frustrating.

There was a button you could press in GSX options (opened from in-flight), and it would replace the jetways to the correct elevation, but I don't remember well which one.

That wont resolve the issue, broken further with the GSX Pro release and outstanding since May 2020

This method:

Did you try it? It always worked for me, but it's been long since the last time I used this feature.

It only fixes an issue with altitude discrepancy against the afcad it does not resolve the broken GSX function as posted on the FSDT forum since 2020 and exacerbated since GSX Pro.

Acknowledged by the developer and still awaiting a fix.

Will FSDT airports work without GSX Pro? That does seem to be the cause of some issues.

Hi Vic,

In recent versions of GSX (for P3D), yes FSDT airports do basically work. I have been messing around with adding SODE GSX gates to FSDTs Zurich and this version of GSX works, however as described above, a recent GSX bug leaves the gates "high and dry" when you arrive at the airport. As far as I know, this bug affects all airports in P3D version of GSX not just FSDT airports, but is not apparent when positioned at the departure airport, it's only visible once you have landed at the destination airport.

I've just landed into KJFK and again the jetways are still floating despite me having done all the FSDT updates.

Are they trying to fix this?

Lets take a guess following the 4 months since Pro broke GSX.
