GSX and Jetways

[Bob G.]

Sirs:

I am running FSX and I would like to ask you a question about GSX.

I have the paid full version of both your GSX and Las Vegas airport. I also have the full paid version of Flight Beams KSFO airport.

I just bought your full version of Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, and Las Angeles airports but have not installed them yet.

My question is this, at both KLAS and KSFO I am unable to get the jetways to operate and move into position using the "ctrl+j" keys as with other FSX airports, everything else with GSX works just fine but how do you get the jetways to work? Is this not possible to do with addon airports?

Thanks
Bob G.

The jetways at FlightBeam KSFO will not move because they are static and only AES will get those to move. I don't know about LAS though.

I've already replied to you via email.

Hi Umberto,

OK, Thanks!

Now tell me please, you say I should be able to operate the jetway with CTRL + J at your KLAS airport, what about your Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, and Las Angeles airports or any of your airports for that matter?

Thanks
Bob

Why not install them and check it out?  You did pay for them... 

[Bob G.]

The reason is because if they are like the FlightBeams KSFO airport with static jetways I don't want to install them as I do not use AES, I use GSX only, and need the  CTRL + J  keys to control the jetways.

Ctrl+J works at FSDT's O'Hare Airport. I don't own the other two, but they're each supposed to have over 100 "Jetways animated with inverse-kinematics in FSX" (according to the online specs).

as BoilerBill said they work at all FSDT airports...
I have the airports from FSDT that you mentioned and pressing CTRL + J brings the jetway to my aircraft everytime

Hope that helps

Hi Everybody,

Thanks so much for your input and help, I will give them a try. GSX is just GREAT but you need to have moveing jetways to complete the big picture, thats the only thing GSX can't do.

GSX doesn't need to do moving jetways, because they are already possible with FSX without having to use any addon product. Having to use a separate product to move jetways, had some sense in FS9, because there it was otherwise extremely hard to do it and there was no standard and no support for it in the sim.
