Sorry again with another q does the door update only work with certain planes?
Ok, I will try to explain this as simple as possible.
There are a few aircraft models in where the jetways will not move or attach to the aircraft regardless of the exit configuration settings that you add and I do not know the reasons why. However, thats just a few and I do not believe the B777 is in that list.
I would suggest for you to use the exit configurations for the PAI B777model thats in one of those zip files. If the jetway moves and attaches, but not correctly, then I would suggest for you to adjust the cordinates.
So for example, you will have the following numbers and cordinates for the main door exit similar to this:
[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
exit.0 = 0.4, 60.00, -7.0, 8.00,0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
So if the jetway does not attach correctly then the only numbers that you would need to adjust
are the last 3.
For instance:
60.00 = moving the jetway towards the front of the plane or near the back of the plane.
-7.0 = moving the jetway left or right (so it will touch the plane). In other words I am sure you don't want the jetway to get hidden inside the plane.
8.00,0 = moving the jetway up and down( towards the sky or towards the ground).
Hope this helps.
