MSFS SDK Documentation not up to date? [Solved]

[Viktoren69]

With the last SDK I have found that the official documentation is a bit different from what you get into the editor.
I can't find the way to add the Jetway to the Gates, and the options for the Generic Control Tower to have the procedural ones.
As what is shown in the pictures does not match the last SDK, any idea to what to do?
Thank you.

How did you do that? I can't find the "Add SimObject" feature in the Properties or anywhere else.

Did you select the red stuff (the jetway group)
before opening the Properties?

Remember that you need to add a gate before adding the related jetway Simobject, once you add a gate the red jetway group Is gonna appear automatically so you can changes properties

Can't help more at the moment 'cause unable to open the Sim till this evening

I actually have both. First I put the gate, but a got warning (in yellow), then the Jetway from the SimObject library, but again no red errors, just yellow warnings. The Gate hasn't been set as a group as in the previous SDK 0.17, it seems a stand alone object. I'll post a picture once at home. Same for the Control Tower, thatis not in the Airport Group and can't be move in it either. Sei il Mamu del ProjectLifts?

I have found the screenshot, where selecting the gate (B2 and B4 in yellow) there is no group. The others are RAMPs. The Jetways for both GATEs have been positioned nearby.

Can hereby confirm that everything works as expected and 99% like SDK doct

Add Airport
Add a Taxywayparking type GATE_HEAVY (or _SMALL or MEDIUM)
in the scenery editor, click on the yellow arrow to expand the group
click on the red jetway
open the properties
click add simboject
select a jetway simojbect
click add
assign a instance id
move the jetway in a convenient position

I have found the problem: I usually add parkings as RAMPs all around, and then edit the heading, numbers, sizes, etc. If you change from RAMP to GATE in the parking properties, there comes the issue: the SDK considers it a kind of "halfway" between a GATE and a RAMP, so it's a gate without the possibility to add its simobject. You must add it directly as a GATE, or it will not work. I'll report to Zendesk. - [UPDATE: They are aware of the issue and told me it's under investigation]
