• 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.

Hi Guys!

Does somebody have an animated working example jetway file in 3DS max file?

I'm trying to animate our LHBP scenery jetways. I did everything like in the tutorial video on wiki. I could import the object to the FSX but it does not move.

I would compare with a working example file, what is the difference.


Thanks a lot!

Or if somebody has experience in jetway animation creation I would appreciate if he/she could take a look in my model.

Thanks a lot!
 
How did you import it to FSX? If Im not mistaken, you have to import through an AFCAD program, via GUI substitution. Otherwise, it won't work as a regular .mdl/.bgl

Thanks for the answer!
I did export it as a normal mdl. Is there any documentation about this available? In the video it is not mentioned as far as I remember.

Not sure there is a one spot solution tutorial for that. I have not done it myself, but I do remember that the jetway must be linked to a gate, and only way to do that is through AFCAD.
 
I assume you placed the jetway using a normal placement program?

Actually you need a jetway entry in your AFCAD file which also contains the SceneryObject to display as a subsection.

Thank you! I see.

I usually use ADE for AFCAD editing. I see it has an option to Add Jetway (with right click). I see there is a GUID number, but I cannot change the GUID number.
Do I understand well that you have to export the jetways to a library file in the addon scenery\LHBP\scenery folder with different GUID's than I need to use these GUIDs in the AFCAD file?
 
As far as I understand the guid you se should match your model's guid so it is what displays.
as I don't use ADE I have absolutely no idea why you can't change it.

Problem is I need at least 3-4 type of jetways so at least 3-4 GUID's I would need.
Can I ask what AFCAD editor are you using?
 
I think I got it. In ADE you need the ProKey to edit the GUID properties in the windows directly.
I'll confirm asap.
 
there is an option on ADE to compile into an xml file. You can edit the GUI in the xml file...and then compile again.

yes, your jetway must reside in a library so that the afcad file can retrieve it.
 
I have managed to change the GUID in the AFCAD file, but unfortunately the jetway does not show up. (placing as a normal mdl/bgl it appears).
I would send the bgl/mdl/3ds file to anybody who has experience with jetway maybe he/she could find the thing I miss.
