hi just wondred if any of you knew how to change co-oridinates in the config file to make the jetway go to the plane. I want the jetway to work with project airbus a320 project openskys 777-200 Quantas airbus a380 abacus fly the airbus fleet any ideas ?

Just have a look in the aircraft.cfg of the default Airbus or the default 737 for example, look for the [EXIT] sections. Those sections define where the jetway should attach, and since it's a FSX parameter, it's missing in most FS9 addon aircrafts... either it's missing, or it's not defined in the same way... just make it look like the FSX style.

Here is how it looks like for the default 737:

Code: Select all

[exits]
number_of_exits=2
exit.0=0.4,  36.6, -5.0,  3.0, 0   //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1=0.4, -38.5,  4.5, -3.0, 1   //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2=0.4,  33.5,  3.5, -4.0, 2   //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)

And here is how it looks like with one of the default FS9 planes:

Code: Select all

[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
exit_rate.0 = 0.4                               ;Percent per second
exit_rate.1 = 0.4                               ;Percent per second

Do you see the differences ? The FSX version has the coordinates of the exits of their type, so that the sim can decide where to plug the jetways, and where to send the ground servie vehicules.

That means you need to add coordinates and type to the exits of your FS9 planes. For the type it's easy, it's written in the quoted text. For the coordinates this is more tricky. You need to experiment, make several tries before finding the exact ones.

[b]ok but which part do i start guessing co-oridinates


0=0.4,

hi iv just found some co-oridnates for the 777 but it says its for aerosofts AES But i imagine they would juwt work with with the normal jetway ?

3. If you use Aerosoft's AES, here's the inteliscene file for the 772:


Type=PO77

Nosegear= 22.9
Door1=-2.55, 21.9, 4.9, 5
Door2=-2.85, 11.6, 4.9
Door4=-2.7,-20.75, 5.15,-5
