Problem with jetways detaching when using Drone camera
« on: October 12, 2022, 12:29:12 pm »
Hi,
i have found a scenario where I attach a jetway and start the deboarding process - then whilst I am waiting I have used the drone  to look around the airport before returning to the external view of my aircraft.

If you are in drone view for more than a few minutes, when you return to your aircraft, the jetway has returned to its initial parked position away from the aircraft and people are deboarding through thin air? This has happened at multiple airports.

jetway retracting before end of boarding (passenger now flying)

This has been discussed so many times, for example here:

The jetway hasn't retracted, you just triggered a well known bug of the MSFS jetway animation system, which affects default jetways too, that is the loss of sync between the LOD and the docked/undocked animation, it's a problem that has been reported to Asobo more than one year ago, but people are noticing more now, because they see GSX passengers floating in the air, when in fact they are the only correct thing in the scene, see the explanation here:
