"No jetway can operate at this position" - Tried a good bunch of them.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? I keep getting the message of this post title at every jetways I try.

The jetway in my image down below should be able to reach the door of my A320?
The jetway name and bridge used can be seen on the image below if anyone wants to try?

You seems you are creating the jetway backward. Usually, they are placed in a way that will require rotating in counter-clockwise direction to reach the airplane door. Yours seems to the placed in the opposite way, which is not how they have been designed.

I mean...I am placing them the way they are supposed to be in Geneva, so.


Sattelite image from FR24, I rotated it to match the position from P3D.

Same problem... what am i doing wrong?

Nothing wrong from our side.

"Usually, they are placed in a way that will require rotating in counter-clockwise direction to reach the airplane door. Yours seems to the placed in the opposite way, which is not how they have been designed."

In short, they won't turn clockwise to reach the airplane doors. Only counter-clockwise. I hope FSDT will bring out a patch.

The jetways in the Geneva airport (only those in the roundabout) operate symmetrically opposite to the normal jetways, for this reason they have the staircase and the service exit on the opposite side. There are currently no GSX level 2 models working in this mode. I have to do some tests to verify that SODE allows the resolution of this kinematics, so I see if can create special jetways for LSGG in the next update.

so I have to place then behind the door

[ols500]

So this won't work

At the moment I suggest to try the noseloaders, which are closer to the way the real counterpart operates.

No this parking is normal, you have inserted jetways too short, try a longer model and rotate the internal one clockwise by about ten degrees.

This should work. But you chose a very short model with 2 tunnels. Either use a longer model, or try the 3 tunnels variation, which is more flexible.

Thank you Alessandro.
Here is a sattelite image of the servicing.

The rest positions of the jetways are very close to the satelites, the red markings, on purpose so airplanes can taxi in and out on their own.

Ok i will try

[Alessandro]

In 3d editor mode, while you position the models, use the 5 on the numeric keypad, and you can test if the jetway solves (hear a DING)

Still trying to get it to work- i'm sure it will...
