Not sure when it started but on any delta planes downloaded from our website, the jetways don't work.

They do work however on all payware and FSX default planes. Any suggestions

Hmmm. I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can answer this. I'll do some research...

I've never had a problem with any of those addons with default jetways... just confirm that you are not using any addon scenery?

Jetways work on add-on aircraft and FSX default AC but not delta planes downloaded from the DVA website

Cntrl-J isn't working? I've never had a problem with them. Are you parked far from the jetway. Sometimes when I load up at the gate I have to push back ever so slightly due to this problem.

It would give him an error message.

Are you using any scenery addons?

My jetways were working for the longest time on FSX default AC and then all of a sudden stopped. I do have ad-on scenery but jetways stopped working after and scenery was installed

So the jetways stopped working after the add on scenery was installed?

Some payware scenery doesn't work with Posky aircraft (our fleet).

Good to know Yisreal!

Tom, I would check out avlibrary for afcad files instead. That is what I run, mostly Katl, kclt, KSLC, kroa, Klax,Klas, and others. I have a bunch that I mainly fly to. Hope that helps. smile

Thank you for all of the inputs.
I need to clarify that after I installed add-on scenery, jetways worked 6 -12 months AFTER I installed the last add-on scenery. And then all of a sudden, one day about a month or so ago, jetways decided they were no going to operate any longer.

From everything I have read here,I will check out the avlibrary for some afcad files to install.

Thanks to every one here for helping me out. Very much appreciated
