Birkster Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hi, I recently added EGFF & EGNT to my UK airports & note the following; EGFF jetways don't move & runway is flat & no marshallers . EGNT jetways don't move but runway has undulations & no marshallers. EGNM jetways move, runway has undulations & marshallers. EGPH jetways move, runway is flat & has docking systems. EGNX runway is flat & no marshallers. Is this how they are meant to be or is there something I have missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I will ask the devs about your observations but do you have Runways follow terrains contours enabled in XP Settings/General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jones Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Hi, EGFF: Correct, the airport is 'flat' with static jetways EGNT: Jetways should be animated and controlled using SAM. There are no marshallers. For EGPH and EGNX, I believe your findings are correct but I've not checked specifically. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkster Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thanks for the replies, I do see the "A" on screen when I park at stand at EGNT but the jetway doesn't move. My nose wheel seems to be on the stop line & don't have a problem at the other Orbx airports with animated jetways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Try the option for Manual rather than A for Automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkster Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Will do, FYI I had a short flight from EGNT gate 10 to EGNM last night & at the gate the jetway was not attached but during push back lights on the jetway started to flash & moved to where the a/c was positioned. EGNM everything worked as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkster Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 Have tried in manual but have done some research & when I approach gate the A or M is grey which should show blue which I believe means that it's either not compatible or I'm out of range. As I have seen the jetway move (to close up on a/c) when I was on push back I assume it has something to do with where SAM sees my aircraft in relation to the jetway. Any ideas on how to overcome this? Would reinstalling EGNT help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 It is I am sure governed by the range. See this similar post from late November: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkster Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just completed flight with Inibuilds A300 & gate appears ok, have been using Zibo 738 so will try Zibo forum. Strange that Zibo works at other Orbx airports though. Thank you for your time & effort. Birkster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 No problem. Glad it is now generally working OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hi, Strange because on EGFF Cardiff Airport - X-Plane 11 - Orbx (orbxdirect.com) it states "Jetways and GSE", not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
