''skyop'' and '''Gijs''' are currently working on animated jetways for FlightGear that can be activated with a click of the mouse. At the moment they are very primitive and only fit [[737s|Boeing 737]]. Planned features include automatic attachment to your airplane's door and even multiple jetways for wide-body airlines and [[A380s|Airbus A380]]. | |||

The new version of [[London Gatwick Airport]] (EGKK) is available and has improved textures and features. It claims to be one of the few ''(two?)'' major international airports in [[FlightGear]] suitable for night flying with full lighting textures on all buildings, hazard lights and approximately one hundred lighting masts. The tower even has lit instrumentation visible in the control room.
