QW757 Door Configuration using Jetway at KLAX

(1/3) > >>

FLYERFROMOREGON:
I have searched the forum for this subject.  The jetway is going to L2 Main Door every time even with no door at this position.  GSX is asking for L1 Main door when deboarding/boarding.  Any suggestions why?

virtuali:
Have a look at the GSX manual, the explanation of the preferred jetway option in the aircraft configuration editor.

FLYERFROMOREGON:
I am using FSDT KLAX, today at gate 24. Still going to L2 Main Door for reason unknown to me. Copy my config is here. Only question I have is the line "preferredexit =  0", does it have anything to do with my issue. Read the manual, stating if their is no door at this position GSX should not be using it with your animated jetway. Am I correct on this?

I see you have a big confusion about how doors work...

First, the default configuration that comes with GSX doesn't have the L2 door disabled, except for the freighter versions so, unless you used a freighter version, it seems you edit the GSX configuration to remove the door, which is wrong.

If a scenery uses a standard jetway (not SODE), the door used by the jetway doesn't have anything to do with GSX. It's controlled by the coordinates set in the airplane.cfg so, unless you change *that*, the jetway will always go there, and there's nothing you can do in GSX to change this.

What you can do with GSX now, is to TELL GSX which is the "main" passenger door (previous versions always assumed it was the first one), by setting the preferred door in the editor, which MUST match the one in the aircraft.cfg so, if you set the L2 to be the preferred door in the editor, the jetway will to to L2 and GSX will ask to open L2.

If you don't want L2 to be the main door, and you want the jetway to go to L1 and GSX asking for L1 to be open in order to start boarding, you MUST change BOTH the aircraft.cfg file, and set the coordinates for door L1 in the [Exits] section AND tell GSX the preferred exit is now L1.

FLYERFROMOREGON:
I have done the steps you have instructed, made L1 the preferred door in the editor. The coordinates are the same as the in the 3D editor, the preferred exit is door 1 and guess what it still goes to door 2.
This has got to be the most clunky way of making the default door, door L1. Two steps to do one operation. Clunky Software, keep it simple you which have not done here. I was in the computer business for twenty years as computer operation manager, go between end users and the software people. This what I had to correct all the time.
