GSX Level 2: No Jetway can Operate at This Position

[virtuali]

And what, exactly, is this issue you are referring to ?

As explained on the manual, page 43:

By pressing this key, GSX will use SODE to test the Jetway against all the passenger doors in the currently loaded airplane, and it will indicate if any of them will work, taking into account the airplane position the jetway type/position/heading.

And as already discussed on the forum here:

These are the thing that affects whether a jetway will resolve or not:

- Rotate and move the jetway. In general, it's best to rotate them more in the outward position, so they must rotate a bit in counter-clockwise direction to reach the final position.

- Choose a different jetway model. Those with 3 tunnels are more flexible.

- Tweak the airplane Stop position.

I am currently using a three tunnel model. Will I have to tweak the stop position at every single gate?

Only if the model you chose requires to do that (there are MANY models with 3 tunnels). That's why we had so many models to choose from. And changing the model CAN be done in bulk.

I chose the model most close in appearance to the actual jetways. Trying a longer jetway did not help at all. I loaded up a different aircraft and the jetway worked just fine. Is it possible that the jetway is trying to reach a door that it can't? For example, is it possible the jetway thinks it should go to door 1l, even though it cannot reach door 1l? I want the jetway to reach door 2l, which is the main door on the 747

I figured out what may be causing my issues: I am using a custom configuration for the PMDG 747. I'm going to try using the default and see if that helps

There are many models with a similar appearance in different sizes.

I think I already explained, quite clearly (just like the GSX manual), the airplane position AND its door configuration is one of the several factors that decides if a jetway can work or not.

If you are referring to the parking editor test function, the one activated with the 5 on the numpad, it will try (asking SODE) with to ALL airplane doors, and will report which ones will work.

If, instead, you are referring to the normal use, it's not "trying" anything, it will simply present a list of the jetway that will surely work, and the doors they can connect to. If there are none, you'll see the error.

Unfortunately I can only find one model of jetway that matches the YVR jetways. Do you plan to make custom jetways when you update it yourself? The Thyssen Krups do NOT look very flattering at that airpoirt

They have JBT, and we surely have several model of them.

Found the right one. Sorry for all the trouble I gave you over this lmao. I guess I owe FSDT a purchase now.

[Speedbird ATC]

False alarm: None of the GLASSED JBT jetways match up to the door. Oh well. I suppose you could look into it when you make your update for YVR. For now I'll make do with a substitute jetway

There are surely many models that will, if you play with all the parameters I already explained several times by now.

You are keep complaining you have to manually tweak each parking position, but you would have already finished with CYVR by now, with all the time you spent posting. And I would probably be able to do the same, if I didn't had to type all these replies.

I'll upload my config here when I am done. Feel free to use it

I have moved the jetway in every possible position and it still does not work. I cannot think of a single other place to put the jetways. I literally put them everywhere in the vicinity that they could logically reach. I suppose the JPT glass models have some sort of bug. Try placing one of those jetways at YVR in a 747 and see what happens on your end
