[Jetway not connecting to A320 Ultimate]

Hi,

I developped a small LUA script to synchronize the FF A320 Beacon with XP11. You need to have FlyWithLUA installed.

Create a new textfile with .lua extension in the script folder, and copy the following script inside the file.

After that, the Jetways  work in automatic mode.
