Hi,
For the next SODE release, I need some testing done because there were substantial changes internally in the jetway control logic.
These changes have enabled new features such as automatic docking/un-docking for user-aircraft and multi-jetway support for AI aircraft.
Automatic docking/un-docking
Using this feature, SODE tries to solve the assignment of single or multiple jetways to the available aircraft doors. There is no need for the user anymore to manually assign each jetway to a door.
If successful, SODE will then trigger the jetways sequentially.
To trigger this automatic docking, there are two ways:
To enable the automatic docking of jetways based on aircraft state, you have to turn this feature on in the SODEPlatformManager -> Settings. Per default, it is set to off!
Please test this feature using different aircraft and multiple jetways. Also, please test the improved AI detection with multiple jetways.
GSX operations should not be affected by the automatic features and GSX will react on the actual jetway state (docked, in transition, undocked) when calling the GSX menu.
Here's the preliminary changelog: https://sode.12bpilot.ch/?document=changelog-draft
Here's the link to the beta installer: https://sode.12bpilot.ch/?wpdmpro=sode-v1-6-3-beta
PWD: beta163
Note that SODE will carry "1.6.3 DEV" in its title in the sim. Please comply with the terms and conditions (No release of beta files to the public/projects)
Thanks for your help.

If successful, SODE will then trigger the jetways sequentially.
To trigger this automatic docking, there are two ways:
- Manual: Via the SODE text-menu
- Automatic: Based on aircraft state variables. For docking the parking brake must be set, all engines off and beacon off. For undocking, only the beacon needs to be turned on.
