Multiple Jetways in Gate List
« on: June 15, 2021, 03:36:14 am »
This is quite a simple new feature request - when listing the gates,  would it be possible to identify multiple jetways at certain gates?

Ie
Gate 1 - Small
Gate 2 - Medium J/S
Gate 3 - Medium 2xJ/S
Gate 4 - Heavy 3xJ/S
 
If you are in a large aircraft like B747 or B777 this would help you select a gate with multiple jetways without having to look it up in a publication first.

Thanks for the suggestion, it's already live now on FSDT Live Update.

Thanks so much for implementing so quickly.

It works well at FSDT airports - but I've noticed most other custom airports (eg flyTampa, Flightbeam etc) they list as 0x regardless.

Is there something different those developers have to do for GSX to count the jetways properly?  Or is this a bug?

The feature works only if the scenery has SODE jetways ( provided by GSX or by the scenery ).

Umberto, I posted a video about a completely different issue in another thread, but in that video, you can see that despite all the sceneries being used having SODE jetways, the only time the counter seems to work is with GSX jetways. This is with P3D V4.5.

Yes, as demonstrated by Kevin above, I have the issue at many non-FSDT airports which have SODE.

It does work at FSDT airports though.

It's a great feature, just seems to be a bug.

The missing jetway number on 3rd party SODE jetways has been fixed now in the Live Update.
