Ever wanted the jetways in FSX to work with your Posky 777?

All you need to do is edit your aircraft.cfg. Look for the section titled "exits". It should be towards the bottom of the cfg. You will see something like this;

[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
[glow=yellow,2,300]exit_rate.0 = 0.10 ;Percent per second
exit_rate.1 = 0.08 ;Percent per second
exit_rate.2 = 0.10 ;Percent per second[/glow]
exit_rate.3 = 0.08 ;Percent per second

What you do is simply remove the first 3 entries highlighted above. And in place of them, add this;

exit.0 = 0.4, 72.1, -7.0, 8.00,0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, 40.5, -7.0, 8.00, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, -42.30, 9.0, -7, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)

So now the "exit" section should look like this;

[exits]
number_of_exits = 4
exit.0 = 0.4, 72.1, -7.0, 8.00,0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, 40.5, -7.0, 8.00, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, -42.30, 9.0, -7, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit_rate.3 = 0.08 ;Percent per second

Save the cfg and thats it. The default jetway should now attach to the 1st door on the aircraft. I've only tried this on the 777-200ER, but the others shouldnt be very different, if at all.

It will look like this.

Thanks!

What is the setting needed to have jetways?  Is it ground detail that needs to be all the way up?  Also, is there a guide on jetways?  I still haven't really figured out small, med, and heavy yet.  Again, Thanks!

Here's a guide on getting jetways on lower settings.

Hi, I followed the instructions to make the jetways work on the UNITED 777-200 but it does not work. Any ideas? Thanks. by the way, the majority of my planes can't use jetways, which s*cks big time! I would like for all them to work. thanks!!

As long as you did exactly as it shows in the original post, there is no reason for them not to work. That is unless your basic sim settings are too low to even get the jetways. Make sure the scenery complexity is set to "very dense". Or follow the link posted by Anxyous to get them at lower settings.

It worked! Only on the 777-ER though. Why do you think it does not work for the other 777's? or any other planes? Thanks.
