'''Animated jetways''' are dynamic jetway models that connect to your aircraft when you are pulled up at the gate. [[FlightGear]] touts the most advanced animated jetways in the flight simulator market, beating those of Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-plane in features- a testament to the flexibility of FlightGear. This article describes how to obtain and use the jetways and interface them with aircraft and scenery. You may also want to have a look at [[Ramp Marshall]].

= current(2015) state =
Jetways defined in Airports/K/S/F/KSFO.jetways.xml using Models/Airport/Jetway/generic.xml do not work.
Have a look at Nasal/jetways/ and see if you can fix it.
Working Jetways:
* jetway-movable.xml
* jetway-movable-2.xml
* jetway-movable-3.xml
known limitations:
* you click one and all start to move
* they only work when placed in front of the aircraft, I can not use them when the terminal building is on the side of the aircraft.
* movement is not visible via multiplayer
Scenery Developers: just place them as OBJECT_SHARED. quick & easy. examples: EDDK, EDDH,...
Aircraft Developers: add the following to your aircraft-set.xml, see the A380 as an example:
<syntaxhighlight language="xml">
<aircraft>
<jetway-pos>
  <x-tra>-2</x-tra>
  <y-rot>2</y-rot>
  <z-rot>18</z-rot>
  <hood-rot>0</hood-rot>
</jetway-pos>
<jetway2-pos>
  <x-tra>2.5</x-tra>
  <y-rot>2.5</y-rot>
  <z-rot>45</z-rot>
  <hood-rot>0</hood-rot>
</jetway2-pos>
<jetway3-pos>
  <x-tra>4</x-tra>
  <y-rot>5</y-rot>
  <z-rot>47</z-rot>
  <hood-rot>3</hood-rot>
</jetway3-pos>
</aircraft>
</syntaxhighlight>
