Quote: how can i assign or edit the exit settings of aircraft.cfg for AI to enable the animation of the jetways
You need to edit the [Exits] section. Here is the section from the default 737.
[exits]
number_of_exits = 2
exit.0 = 0.4, 36.6, -5.0, 3.0, 0 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.1 = 0.4, -38.5, 4.5, -3.0, 1 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
exit.2 = 0.4, 33.5, 3.5, -4.0, 2 //openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet), type (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)
The data entered provides the location that the jetway attaches to. For the jetways to attach you'll need at least the line for type (0=main), the first line in this case.
You can replace the existing [Exits] section with the above section. You'll then need to adjust the longitudinal, lateral and vertical positions to get the jetway to attach at the proper point. The longitudinal is likely to be way off. A good estimate for the main exit can be made by looking at the longitudinal position of the nose gear in the [contact_points] section.
If you have problems determining the longitudinal, lateral and vertical positions let me know and provide a link to one of the ai aircraft you're editing so I can walk you through it.
