Totally agree, but the question remains
233.78 =  jetways incorrect
233.780 = jetways correct

Also why does GSX not write the correct elevation to the ini

GSX DOES write the correct elevation in the .INI, because under any possible definition, 233.78 and 233.780 ARE exactly the same number and, even by truncating the last decimal, the maximum error would be 1 cm, which cannot justify so big visual difference.

So does anyone have a reliable way to fix this? At Aerosoft's PANC, I'll click the icon to adjust the elevation and it brings the jetways down to the ground. But if I come back (e.g. fly away and return and the jetways reload), the jetways are floating again.

Currently my workaround is to use previous v4 afcad where possible.

Hopefully the issue will be identified.

Is this yet an identified issue with some afcad formats Umberto ?

We'll look at this as soon as possible. GSX surely reads the updated V5 AFCAD format, otherwise it could't possibly work with any of the default airports, which all use the new format.

Hi,

Same problem for me. My example shows Aerosoft (sim-wings) Malaga LEMG.

As I've said in my last post, we'll look into this as soon as possible. You surely must know these are very busy times, and the MSFS release announcement has taken everybody by surprise, so everything else has taken a backseat, in order to be able to have *something* to show for the 18th.

 Could addon mesh be causing these issues? I don't use any mesh because of issues it usually creates around airports and I haven't seen any floating jetways at any of the airports listed so far.

I had the same problem @ Aerosoft EDDB and solved it replacing the afcad with a p3d v4 version.

Possibly Dave but it is related to the v5 afcads and the mesh does not cause any other issue with the scenery's.

With a dual jetway config why would one of them load at the correct elevation and the other not. And why when having used the correct elevation function in GSX the levels are restored but not retained.

No issue with SODE jetways either.

The list of airports affected is growing and seemingly no resolution in sight.

As I've said, multiple times, we'll have a look at this, but we are just overwhelmed by the workload to provide some initial support for the next MSFS with at least one product.
