We are checking it.  Which gate you were parked on ? Do you see it at every gate or just some of them ?

[tylerj93]

all of them.

[virtuali]

Ok but, can you please specify more clearly what the problem is ?

[beechcaptain]

I had the same problem a few weeks back and for me, it was a conflicting afcad file for KDFW.  In other words, I had 2 AFCADS and once I located the other and removed it, problem solved.

This could be yours, too.  Have you checked?  ScanAFD is a good program to do it for you.

Hope this helps.

Virtuali, All of the jetways are intruding into the parking spaces...all of them. beechcaptain, I will try that, Thank you

[tylerj93]

I tried the afcad thing, didnt do anything any more ideas? Maybe a patch?

[tylerj93]

any suggestions yet? Or am i going to have to just live with it?

I just joined the forum a few minutes ago to post about the exact same issue. For me it is most, if not all, of the jetways are missplaced just as the original poster's picture shows. I'm using the FS9 version. I wouldn't imagine an AFCAD file could cause this or fix this unless the parking spot markings are part of the AFCAD. But, I will try the AFCAD posted here in the forum and see.

Also for some reason I cannot download the DFW 1.0.3 update. I get an error saying the website refused the request.

The jetways are not misplaced. They are in the correct position, just extended.

In other sceries for FS9, we had them fixed in the non-extended position, some users complained wanting them in the extended position so, I guess we simply can't make everyone happy.

 The real issue is they are static so, the real solution would be either waiting for AES in FS9, or use the FSX version, which obviously has animated jetways.

[dave_paige]

Just to clarify, I have five FSDT sceneries and love them all.

The extended jetways at DFW are so extended that the end of the jetway is actually over the parking spot centerline. So there is not really any way to park the airplane properly in the spot without colliding with the end of the jetway. So I guess I would have preferred the retracted jetways or extended only to the point where they would be connected to a parked aircraft, much harder to do, I realize.

Can you try if this file is better ? Put into FS9\fsdreamteam\kdfw\scenery
