Yet another jetway topic

Postby Anxyous » Sun Aug 03, 2008 8:45 am

Hi!

In order to have jetways appear, you must have scenery at max, and advanced animations enabled.

I have the latter, but not the first.

So I'm doing without jetways, but today I wanted to fly around Himalaya, and the airport I flew out from suddenly had jetways.

I tried some other airports, but the jetways only appear at that airport (possibly some others, wouldn't know).

Anyone know why?

And is there something in a .cfg I can edit to make jetways disappear at lower settings?

You do not need to be at max scenery setting in order to have Jetways.
For example, my scenery is set at "Dense" and I have Jetways at all the major airports.

Keep in mind that minor airports usually don't have jetways at all.

I have just tried Heathrow. I get absolutely no jetways when I'm on "Normal" setting for scenery complexity. When I set it to "Dense", I just get some of them, like 10 or so on the whole airport. The more I crank up this setting, the more jetways I get.
