No matter what I do, (I changed setting to high, I updated graphics card driver, ect.) Nothing works, I see the jetway but when I press ctrl+J nothing happens, does any1 know what the problem is?

Its not a big factor for me but it would be cool to simulate proper boarding on my CVA and personal flights instead of having to carry the passengers! :p

Uh, how do you define Jetway? You mean the bridge?

I didn't think FSX simulated the movement of jetways to the aircraft.

Yeah Im talking about the thing that extends and connects to the airplane cabin door that passengers walk through to enter the airplane, I see it, its there, but it won't work :(

And no it does apprently, i've seen videos on youtube and other people can do it, unless its an add-on?

Are you sure it's not limitted to some of the larger planes? I haven't figured that out with the 737 in FS-X, I open the cabin and 2 cargo doors as well as extend the stairs.

CTRL-E and then 1, 2, 3, 4 in rapid succesion

The only way I know to get the jetways to attach to the plane in FSX is using an add on from Aerosoft called Airport Enhancement Services. As far as I know it will only work at airports with aerosoft scenery. It also took me forever to get all of my planes configured properly so I could use it. Here's a couple screenie's of me at Heathrow.

Well I have only tried it with the 737 so far but thats a large plan isen't it? :p

Bleh I guess i'l have to download that add-on like Randy has, is that payware or freeware?

Oh and btw, does any1 know where I can buy accesories for FSX? I mean like the controlling yoke or steering thing for airplanes, and stuff like that? I currently use the keyboard and it sucks:P

I tried EBGames but they just looked at me like I was a weirdo, I haven't tried Best Buy or stuff but maybe a microsoft store if those exist?

You need to ave the contact points set correctly in the aircraft.cfg to make them work. For instance, here is what works for me on the 737-700 Posky:

[contact_points]
point.0 = 1, 32.200, -0.67, -8.26, 1181.1, 0, 1.777, 75.00, 0.350, 0.650, 0.850, 9.000, 9.000, 0, 235.0, 320.0
point.1 = 1, 32.200, 0.67, -8.26, 1181.1, 0, 1.777, 75.00, 0.350, 0.650, 0.850, 9.000, 9.000, 0, 235.0, 320.0

I bought my CH yoke, pedals and throttle quadrant on eBay. The yoke feels flimsy and the pedals are worn after less than 1 year. I haven't seen any affordable alternative.

About opening cargo doors on the 737 in FS-X, 4 does nothing, 3 opens both cargo doors.

I bought the Saitek X-52 Flight control system. Comes with Joystick and throttle quadrant. Love It! You can get it af Future Shop for about $150. Well worth the money. You'll wonder how you ever survived with the keyboard.

Im sorry you lost me at contact points :p (very bad at coding and stuff)

You know what I don't think the Jetway is that important if I have to do all this work to just make it work! From now on the passengers can walk to the airport!

And yay i'll have to go down to future shop, I don't like ebay but Its a good idea also, now I just needa scrape up $150 xD

I bought the Saitek X-52 Flight control system. Comes with Joystick and throttle quadrant. Love It! You can get it af Future Shop for about $150. Well worth the money. You'll wonder how you ever survived with the keyboard.

I was using a joystock before using the yoke, it's nearly as big a step in improvement as from keyboard to joystick. I loved the force feedback in the joystick but it lacked the extra movement of the yoke. Having the rudder control and brakes in the feet also helped a lot.

The next big improvement was with triple monitors, the added horizon line made landings so much smoother.
