XCLTM3 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Not a huge issue - but, airbridges are not lining up correctly with the PMDG 777. eg: Gate D10 - the airbridge will move to Entry Door 2L (which is fine), but it does not line up correctly with the door and ends up about 1 to 1.5 metres higher above the door than it should. Is there a way I can tweak this to get it right? Appreciate your assistance. Rgds Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Boyte Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hello, I think this is a PMDG issue and not Orbx. I have the 777 and the jetways (any jetways, default, 3rd party etc) don't move correctly to door 2L. Best bet is to post it on the PMDG 777 support forums: http://forum.avsim.net/forum/520-pmdg-777/ Cheers, Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCLTM3 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Thx Eddy, I'll post it there and give it a whirl. Rgds, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCLTM3 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Eddie, just to clarify: The PMDG 777 Door 2L is rigged correctly at my end. I've tested this with FS Dreamteams KLAX & KLAS (and Flightbeams KPHX) and the gates/airbridges are lining up correctly with Door 2L. Ergo, I'd have to conclude this is an ORBX issue rather than a PMDG. Could you please reopen the thread and see if I can get a resolve response. Much appreciated.

Edward Boyte Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hello, On my PC all the jetways (any jetways, default, 3rd party etc) don't line up correctly with my 777. Have you tried the default 737 (or NGX) or 747 to see if the jetways line up correctly at YMML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCLTM3 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hi Eddy, just took some more time to be a little more methodical - Tested all the "Heavy" gates at YMML with a lot of mixed results for the 777. These were the "D" gates. Some airbridges were too short in their reach - some misaligned with the doorway completely - some protruded through the aircraft. In terms of the NGX - mixed results here too - on any "free-moving" airbridges at small gates there were some that fell short - and some that protruded into the aircraft. For the gates that just retract & protract (eg E3, E5, E7) the results are reasonable. Haven't tested any default a/c as I don't fly them (although I understand your reasoning on this - but, payware a/c should be accommodated more so than default MSFSX a/c - imho) Now, testing the 777 & NGX at KLAX, KLAS & KPHX. The NGX plays well at all 3 airports particularly the "small" gates. The airbridges all lined up very well to the a/c. (All the airbridges in all 3 airports are free-moving). The 777 plays well at all Large Gates in particular at KLAX (ie from the new TBIT - to the United Gates, Delta, etc). Airbridges were lining up correctly with Door 2L. The 777 also plays well at the large gates at KLAS. Airbridges were lining up correctly with Door 2L. The 777 had some mixed results at KPHX as the gates there are primarily designed for 737's, A320's, & smaller. Although, some of the airbridges did line up quite well nonetheless. My results were conclusive enough for me to indicate that YMML has some issues with my PMDG a/c - and proof of which is those same a/c are fine at other payware airports. I understand YMML has been around several years now, and there have been no updates to keep it in-line with the improvements to a/c we've seen in FSX over the last 2-3 years. I don't wish to take up any more of ORBX's time on this - so, if there is a way in which I can remedy this issue myself - I'd be happy to give it a whirl - if somebody could explain "how to" if that's at all possible? I enjoy the little attention to details in FSX and I suppose that's why I'm trying not to give up on this. PS: as a side-issue - I've noticed that at Gate D20 - freighter a/c park there all the time - not sure if that is RL, or a glitch in the afcad? Not sure that cargo freighters should be parking at the terminal? All my AI freighter a/c are coded correctly to park only at CARGO bays. Can anyone confirm either way? Much appreciated.

Martin Henare Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi there, the simple answer is no. Jetway programming is very difficult to get consistent results across the very broad range of aircraft. The jetway programming is internal to the model and there is not way to modify it yourself.

XCLTM3 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thx Marty....that will have to do then. Rgds, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 No problems, I wish I had a better answer and better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
