Unusual default jetways behaviour.

Featured Replies

I don't know whether it is a known issue, but I wonder if anyone else had noticed something like that in P3Dv5.3HF2.
First, I check and adjust [exits] entries in aircraft.cfg.
Then, I check if all default jetways of a default airport are attached to the AI aircraft properly. Exit sim.
After that, I make a full flight arriving to the above airport, I see all jetways improperly attached to the AI aircraft around user plane.
The user plane jetway attaches properly though. The same for the AI aircraft coming in to the terminal. I find that behaviour weird and unreasonable.
Any ideas why this happens ?

I've seen this a few times as well.

I wonder if it's something to do with the AI plane model.

If [exits] section in aircraft.cfg is properly adjusted, no, absolutely not. It seems to be a P3D glitch.

It is odd that the jetways rotate like that, which they should not be able to do.

You may be right that it's a P3D bug.

I think this issue was reported in FSX before. Does cycling the external views of the user plane correct this behaviour at all?

I have never seen it but others have reported it.

Not at all. Just tried it.

If your user plane attaches correctly then this could be your AI may be at fault, do you use an AI program or default AI.

No, I don't think so, as I have adjusted AI aircraft.cfg [exits] section properly.

Besides, if an AI comes to terminal, after the user plane docks, the jetway of that parking spot is docking properly.

The problem exists with the AI that are already docked, before arrival of the user plane - check my initial post.

I don't use neither an AI program nor default AI, work with manual AI installation only.

In other words, the issue appears because of the way P3D configures AI traffic at the parking spots, which are equipped with a jetway, before user plane arrival.
