A BUNCH OF AIRPORT CONFIGURATIONS (100+) IN GSX2 & FULL VIDEO TUTORIAL

[Snuffleupagus]

I just discovered this gold mine! I do have a question, how accurate are these jetways vs the real world jetways?

Either way, thank you for all of the hard work and dedication! And for sharing with all of us!

hello!
well not very.  I started doing a few exactly the way in real life are, and here is the thing.. 90% of the airoprts use very similar jetways.. thus it would be boring as hell to have all the sceneries the same...
Also i must accept that i abuse a little on the glass jetaways.. but is more fun this way, to see the passangers boarding.
Also take into account that doing a scenery of lets say, JFK that came this week takes a good 40hours to do in my full v3 configuration... (and this is being very good and fast at it with plenty of tricks to speed up the process).. the part of selecting one type of jetway of a configuration is not more than 3% of the work, the hard part is placing things into position, make them fit. editing ALL the pushbacks, etc, etc..

Therefore, if you find that you rather use a realistic metalic jetway other than mine, adapting one of mine takes you 5-10 minutes.. so all in all, is a good saving of 97% of time! lol

in the future, with more liveries and maybe jetways to be able to adapt in height we will be able to do more.  Then I will update sceneries.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply! I do agree, having most of the jetways the same gets old after a while. I was just curios. I love your work and really appreciate it!! Downloading and installing them now. This saves us a LOT of time!

Cartayna, I have a question for your EGCC scenery. I am at a loss. Can you explain the A, B, and especially C to me? I did part 1 and 2 easy but the MOST IMPORTANT and after confuses me.

Thank you,

Hello Tim,

Sure, I will probably do a video this week on this. Is pretty straight forward once you are familiarized with that is Sode, the .ini files that contain the instructions of GSX, what is an Afcad, and how does a couatl work. this last is the engine that moves GSX .ini file.
For now, just trust me and follow it to the letter. a has to do with the Afcad. go to your scenery folder of EGCC and check that the file that starts with "EGCC_afx_UK2x" ends in TRM. if you have another one, delete it and replace it by EGCC_afx_UK2xTRM.bgl that is in the options folder of the scenery of UK2000 EGCC. b)that is simple, but do it after c has been checked out.. maybe i should change the order. and c, go to your scenery folder where you have done a, and make sure that there is no file that starts with EGCC and has the .ini extension on in.  Once you have done that, and you have of course done instructions 1st and 2nd, go in the simulator Addon menu and (Add-on Menu > Coautl settings > Rebuild airport cache once and if you dont have ALL my jetways there, restart the couatl in the same menu untill they all show there).

Let me know if this helps.

Hello Javier,

I just want to be sure, whatever changes or improvements you've made to your files are included and re-published in the original archive the download link points to correct? or in other words, that link has your latest files for all sceneries?

Saludos,

First I want to commend you on your support for all of our hobbies.  I seem to have a problem with EGKK.  I have read all the forum posts but whenever I open EGKK I get a Couatl Crash.  Gives me an error report that I can't read.  Then it asks to restart. I do and then it crashes again.  I believe I followed all the directions and I know how to get it back to working but would love to have your magic at this airport.  I was successful with EBBR (Brussels) and EDDM (Munich).   Thank you again.  Just wondering if you or someone can refer me to a solution.

Also want to let you know when I return to normal.  No Couatl crash...

Hi,

just for info, the docking systems for the Gates in Leipzig are from wrong type.

Hi,

just for info, the docking systems for the Gates in Leipzig are from wrong type.

Hello Torsten,

Well i dont go exactly to each airport and find what do they have in real life. that is something i leave to you guys. the reason for this, is I could go crazy and would do 10% of the configurations I actually do today. Also because this is an issue that creates a lot of discrepancies between users. As a mater of fact, in another scenery (LOWW) that another user who claims to live in that same citty, corrected this dockings, the advertising and another few issues. So i did. and then later another user said they were a different type.  imagine with 50 sceneries! I would go nuts.
Also, 95% of the time that takes to configurate a scenery is the "other" things, pushbacks coordinates, placing objects, revising afcads, etc.  And this is why I say that i leave those "esthetic" or "realistic" issues to you guys to change, for it takes aproximately 1 minute to change, for example all dockings in the scenery to your liking. Same as the jetways for example. Also the adds (which another user told me to change them, this does not make sense, since the adds change with time, ... ) and so forth.

The only scenery that I am doing this is with a surprise that is coming this friday, for those who like to fly in the US.  Something that i am doing in collaboration with a cool and popular developer of sceneries.  So out of respect for his generosity and dedication, i will create 2 versions, mine and a very realistic one.  The rest, as I say, leave it up to you.


Cheers!
