    i use Type01_solid_4.0m ; i have try to modifie the value and save but when the jetway is in action , default value where applied. i dont understand

    You have to save the Jetway after applying new values and you can set the initial position right below the test test sliders. 

    Furthermore have a look into the developer guide, it is described there as well.

    1) Is there a possibility to change the order of the jetway animations? I believe it wold look more natural if the order were like this: >Rotate3>Extent>Rotate2>Rotate1 (wheel direction adjustments when needed)

    No.

    2) There is a possibility to synchronize XP datarefs with FFA320 datarefs using the FFA320 Connector. Which XP datarefs are needed for SAM to function automatically?

  3. There are 3 main challenges:

    • Get the information where which aircraft has been drawn: This has to be provided by the traffic plugin developer. As they use XPLMInstance to place objects the necessary information like object/aircraft type, coordinate and heading is not accessable by default. If they would be willing to share those data it would still require some additional work for them so we don't know if they would jump in.
    • Find a performant checking method: To get a good performance only visible jetways are included in the check nearest jetway with aircraft position query. If we would add this query to all placed static aircrafts it creates a massive calculation load. And if your own aircraft is moving and therefore the amount of visible jetways changes it creates an additional load just again. The best way would be to shift the entire jetway system to XPLMInstance but that would require a high investment which none of you would be willing to pay I guess.
    • Create aircraft configuration files for all 3rd party objects: This is the easiest but no less time consuming task.

    But let's say we find a solution for everything and enough user willing to pay for it still the most difficuilt challenge is:

    FIND A SKILLED C++ DEVELOPER

    Our developer is busy with other projects so as long as we don't have additional resources all those ideas will remain in the drawer for the next time.
