GSX Teaser: Multiple Jetways

Sorry, can't embed for some reason...but great news!

Looks good. 👍

Hopefully there's some logic built into this that prevents the two jetways interfering with one another since they move at the same time. I guess this also depends on the initial jetway positions that are defined by the GSX profile.

Inibuilds also posted a screenshot of the a380 using them

It seems that both Ini AND GSX are suddenly on the verge of releasing something for multiple jetway support. The Ini version will initially be limited to IniBuilds airports (according to their discord), the GSX variant will work on every addon airport, given that the jetways are not modelled as static scenery components.

While I look forward to this long-awaited feature, I fear that this double approach of two independent studios developing the exact same will result in a mess instead of a good solution for us simmers. Hope the ini version will not hamper the GSX one and vice versa.

The GSX video is also using ini’s Heathrow.

I don’t know if that gate has multiple jetways modelled there by default

Well, the GSX video is obviously taken in the last days, the Ini variant of multiple jetways is not yet out. So what should be the conclusion of this?

Hopefully it works in default airports and also AFCAD ones (as it was in the old FSX/P3D version). The MSFS2020 jetways had the problem that they only worked with default airports and any add-on would render them useless

ini_001 confirmed on Discord that every ini airport that has multi jetways will get support for them, implied to be a free update.

It coming first to their next mega hub though.

Sounds like ini's version will only be for their airports.

We've designed the system to play nicely with the ecosystem as it currently exists. We of course don't know what exactly the GSX system will entail but we don't expect it to cause issues as long as their new feature doesn't break existing functionality

Apparently GSX is using something added with SU5 to do their's

I wonder if this opens the door to jetways docking with AI traffic thats not being managed by the sim... i.e. BATC and SI

Wondering whether the ini initiative will include MSFS2020 or will it only be for '24.

Considering they've stopped new developments with 2020, it's probably 2024 only.

If their system takes advantage of the same change in SU5 that GSX is using, then it will absolutely be 2024 only.

Thought as much. Funny how 2020 has been dropped like a hot potato, unlike the longevity we experienced with FSX and P3D. Oh well.
