• 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.

Hello folks,

I recently uploaded an enhanced version of KSTL (for FSX) to AVSIM, filename
fsx_kstl_v1.zip. Anyway, about 500 people have downloaded it since Saturday...but today, I got an email from *one* of them, saying that my jetways were in the middle of the aprons, etc.

Can any of you verify that my scenery is working well with FSX Deluxe?

I want to verify that this NOT a problem with my scenery.

I figured I would have heard more cries if there was something wrong with it. I would like to think I am pretty meticulous when it comes to testing...I'd hate to have dropped the ball here.
 
bump?

I will assume all is well if I do not hear anything, and blithely move on to bigger and better things.

Nothing wrong with the Jetways.

If the user is seeing the Jetways misplaced on the apron and not attached to the Terminal there is a conflicting KSTL scenery on that computer.

Jetways have their own LAT/LON which you set to the FSX terminal. A 3rd party terminal may not be in the same place that FSX has it positioned.

There could be a slight chance he is refering to your 3 combo Jetway setup but I checked that also and they are assigned to the parking spots correctly.

That is exactly what I told the user.

I wanted to make 100% sure though. Thanks for the info.

That combo jetway SHOULD work ok.

The combo jetway was a compromise. It looks very similar to that in real life, but I debated as to whether or not I should do that overrun.

Any other way to do it, would take more gmax skills than I have at the present time.

Essentially the jetway nearest the terminal is a static scenery object. The other two move, and service adjacent parking spots. This is how it is up there. They use that area for the Regional Jets. It's possible that this has been changed as it's been about 10 months since I was at St. Louis.
