Machado Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hello there, and thanks for the amazing plugin. I have installed the Jetways in Recife and in Belfast (SBRF and EGAC). The dock station and marshallers work fine for the planes, but the jetway is not connecting to the A320 Ultimate, I have no problems to connect it to the 767 and 737. I have followed both tutorials on youtube and the comprehensive tutorial in this club. Is there any trick that I need to do? The beacon lights are off and engines also off. Cheers, Machado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 You better read the supported aircrafts list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is another issue that I am having, none of the jetways show up in the list. I am sending SS attached. I don't see them like in the tutorial video. The same for the Hangars.

Marten@Stairport Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I don't get the problem. Gate04 is visible, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdawg9999 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 How do you connect a jetway manually? Is there a tutorial for this for FFA320? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdawg9999 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 ok. So after you unselect "automatically connect jetway", What do you do? My jetway doesn't do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argaeus Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Just to make this clear, the Jetway I set up in my scenery project docked to FF A320 automatically. This was a nice surprise for me after a long flight I also have a video from replay but cannot share a link here - or I don't know how to .

Marten@Stairport Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 That's a suprise indeed. Maybe the beacon override is only when loading the plane but not after finishing a flight? Never did an actual flight as I'm still waiting for VR compatibility (probably forever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argaeus Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Well, I wouldn't know about the departure as the scenery was not furnished with SAM jetways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argaeus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I tested a departure point which had SAM jetway and the aircraft was connected to the terminal at cold and dark state and the jetway pulled back as soon as I turned the beacon lights on for departure.

Marten@Stairport Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 That's pretty strange. I just installed a clean copy of the A320 and can't bring it up to life. Maybe you accidently switched on force connect in the authoring menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folko Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Or maybe it doesn't touch the dataref at all so that it will keep the value from the previously selected aircraft? Then it would depend on which aircraft you used in the previous flight of the same session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that does not change anything as long as we don't get a readable dataref to access to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argaeus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Strange because I always start a new flight after re-starting the sim, never ever fly 2 flights in line within the same session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I did not use the authoring menu Marten There is certainly something different between X-Plane 11.26 and 11.30. You can watch a video I recorded right now (before updating SAM plugin to 1.0.3) and decide for yourself. I started at the same spot in the same airport scenery (to which I added about 200 docking panels unfortunately and only 3 jetways fortunately) for testing purposes. You see the behavior of jetway at start-up for yourself. Search for H Buberci in Youtube for my account and check the most recent upload.

Marten@Stairport Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm using 11.30 as well but don't have your success. Are you able to disconnect the jetway via beacon light operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten@Stairport Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No chance for me, neither in the latest FF Beta build nor the final version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argaeus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Video uploaded just now, I can confirm it is working. my A320 version is 00801, I don't do betas usually (except Zibo ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@Stairport Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Well you didn't use the beacon as far as I can see so the jetway did not disconnect properly. But I have no idea why the jetway is initially connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argaeus Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Which video did you watch? Watch immediately after 12' 55'' of my most recent video (2019 01 07_18 04 30) for Beacon lights switching to ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its not working with the FF A320. But since version 0.9.2 they added own datarefs for the aircraft. And the FF A320 dataref for beacon light is "a320/Overhead/LightBeacon" , is it possible to add that dataref for your next version of SAM ? So the SAM will detect the beacon light for the FF A320 ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
