Welcome to SimV Jmj.

If I knew the answer, I'd tell you. However, I don't, but I'm sure someone more gifted in the intracacies of FSX will have the answer for you soon.

jmj,

Hi and welcome to SimV.

I seem to remember reading in another post that to have those work you need a VERY current video card that supports the latest shader technology.  At least that is what I THINK I remember reading.

Someone will eventually chime in with accurate info.

best,

Me? Ok...

Yes it does require that, but if you don't know if you have shader or not, just try this.

Under the 'Display' settings, check "advanced animations".

I think in addition to the ctrl+j, you need to open the main exit. shift+e

So, in summary,

shift+e
ctrl+j

Moving jetway.

Make sure you have advanced animations on.

Meh, just for note, you don't have to.    Whenever I start a flight, the engines always off, so I attach the jetway and usually forget about the door, so they have about 10 seconds to get into the plane when I remember to open it  ;D

You need  a video card with shader model two or higher, advanced animations needs to be enabled, and scenery complexity needs to be Dense or higher.
