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.
FSXA Make the parking weight AFCAD to make jetways moving ?

I don't think what weight has anything to do with the jetways. If the proper exit information is in the aircraft cfg. file, than the jetway will move to that location on the plane regardless of weight. As I recall exit information is seldom in add on planes. Information about how to deal with aircraft center points and exit points is in the SDK, but can be hard to follow. Perhaps someone will answer that has better information.

I agree with Bob. I do not think weight is relevant. What is relevant is the setting in the aircraft.cfg.

Hi,
In order to get your jetway working for an AI aircraft, you have to add some entries in the aircraft.cfg:
For instance:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.5, -30.30, -9.0, 0.88, 0
exit.1 = 0.5, -146.0, 8.0, -7.5, 1
exit.2 = 0.5, -42.30, 9.0, -7, 2
Where exit.0 is the main exit, 1 is the cargo exit and 2 is the emergency exit (provided of course that your AI aircraft does have that many exits), where after the = you find the speed with which your door opens or closes and the postion of the door (lon,lat,vert in ft from the reference datum) and finally the type as mentioned earlier (0,1.2).
This is also true for your pilotable aircraft because FS has to know where the jetway has to go when you call it by choosing ctrl+J.
