There are at least two types of animated jetways in FlightGear, here called type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is more advanced than type 2. | |||
; Type 1 | |||
: They can connect to your aircraft and also to AI or multiplayer aircraft, (almost) no matter where you stand and in which orientation, as long as you are near enough. | |||
; Type 2 | |||
: You have to park very precisely, they do not connect to AI aircraft and they are not visible to other in multiplayer, etc. | |||

That is a tough one! The static jetways are part of the .ac file of the terminals e.g. Schiphol_Gate_E.ac. If you really want animated jetways there, you have to edit those terminal buildings in a 3D software like blender or sketchup. EHAM_gate.xml and EHAM_gate_2.xml also need to be fixed but that is easy: you can download them here: | That is a tough one!
