• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Is there a way to convert FS9 ai aircraft to FSX so that it will activate the Jetways and other functions?
How can this be done?

FS9 aircraft cannot be converted to FSX format. However, FSX jetways should operate with FS9 aircraft.

The correct operation of a jetway depends on certain settings in the aircraft.cfg file. I know the matter has been diecussed on fsDeveloper. If you do a search on fsDeveloper for "Jetway", you should find it. Otherwise, a post in the aircraft design forum may help.

Hi,

As Don said I think it is mainly a cfg setting to get the jetways working. The locations of the doors must be defined. There is nothing in the mdl for it.

With a future update of modelconverterx I hope to allow conversion of ai aircraft from fs2004 to fsx mdl format, since it can give some performance improvements to use fsx materials. But at the moment I am not aware of a tool that can do this.

Thanks to both of you. I did the search and finally found it. I copied the exits from several planes in FSX and placed that data in the FS9 aircraft.cfg and it works fine.
Again thanks a bunch ......
