I'm sorry if it was answered nefore, just van't find correct answer. Is there any way to change default jetways style? Maybe the model or at least textures.

I am not talking GSX or SODE< i"m talking all of the default CTRL J jetways

 

The methods in v4 and earlier (and FSX) don't work in V5 (and I guess v6 neither). Maybe this is because the jetway model in v5 has a different texture mapping. 

The only way I know of changing jetway models is by installing GSX Level 2. This is what I use currently.

On your pic you have the wrong jetway texture AIR_Jetway01.dds. I also had it replaced once and my jetways looked like yours on the picture. I then searched jetway textures on my system and found AIR_Jetway01.dds existed in different layouts.

@vl1, I’ve hidden your post. Try again without the *****.

Yes: AFAIK, one for FSX (compatible to P3D v4 and earlier) and one for P3Dv5. I hope to be wrong, but I haven't found any developer offering modified textures for the v5 jetways. That's why I mentioned going GSX L2 and their SODE jetways.

I understood the point about the texture I will extract it from the installation archive

 

But I have asked another question can I substitute the jet with texture from any other?

 

Unless you repaint them, no. As i mentioned before:

Yeah it really sucks that nobody ever made replacement textures for the jetways for P3Dv5.  I also wish there was more texture replacement options for the buildings too.  Both the default airport building textures and jetway textures look absolutely just terrible imo.  The only options I've found for the buildings are by Zinertek and you also can manually install (copy/paste) the textures from REX World Wide airports, though P3Dv5 airports have some extra buildings that older versions didn't have so some buildings still have the default textures.  Both those options are definitely better than nothing but I really wish someone would make some nice textures specifically designed for all airport structures in P3Dv5.

Anyway, the end of the story is that I have downloaded SODE Object placer, it is super easy to use, you can take any jetway from any payware scenery, and I have 400 of them and attach to anything, anywhere.

Takes you 3 minutes, WYSIWYG, and you have a beautiful custom jetway where you want it.

Yes unfortunately this is true but I still love using it despite it's flaws, P3D is the flight simulator I tend to use most.  The one of the biggest reason I still use it is because of the huge selection of unique and interesting aircraft and other add-ons that works with it that no other simulator can offer (with the exception of FSX)  as well as the ability to mod it in nearly endless ways to my liking.

I also prefer hanging out with the FSX and P3D community over X-Plane community,  I find that FSX and P3D users are often times much more friendly and willing to help than a lot of the gatekeepers, trolls, some of the moderators and admins that hang out over at x-plane.org for example.  I one time got a warning and rep points deducted from my account because an admin decided a post that I wrote was "useless information" when I asked a question regarding a sale on a particular aircraft in the org store.

I understand though why many users have moved on to other more modern sims though, P3D is a very hands on and high maintenance simulator that can require a lot of effort to keep it working well.  It certainly is not for everyone.

For a dead sim it’s remarkably robust and stable. I flew Manchester to Singapore yesterday using the PMDG777-200LR with its intelligent acceleration feature.

A 12h 20m flight took 5.5 hours and not a single blip. Working radar too. What’s not to like? 😁

Yeah, I've been enjoying this so-called "dead sim" a lot. Furthermore, I've been able to convert some MSFS liveries into P3D for the models I have in both sims (Maddog, 737NG and MD-11). One reason less for missing the other one. I'm even considering to purchase an airport (something I seldom do) and/or the 737 Max for v5, but I was expecting better offers for today 😂

As opposed to those who dived in head first on release day 1 for the “only sim worth having” and have been gnashing their teeth ever since. We should name this forum the “Forum of Tranquility”. 😁

Lol now that is funny, the Forum of Tranquility sounds very fitting 🙂

I made the mistake of buying a new flight simulator (I will not name) on day one of release and it was the biggest mistake I ever made.  This is my personal opinion of course, I have no issue with people who like it.  When it comes to flight sims, I normally like to wait and see what people are saying about it and how further development of it progresses before I take the plunge.  Back in the day I didn't even buy FSX until SP2 was released.
