Before and after; a jetway connecting to a Boeing 777-200

This article describes the animated jetway system by Skyop, how to use it, and how to implement it.

Usage

First determine if the jetway is clickable and is animated (currently, this system is in development and has not been implemented in any airport, so the chances of this are very, very, slim). To do this, press Ctrl-C. If the polygons of the jetway are outlined in yellow, then it is indeed animated.

Now align your airliner so that the nosegear is centered on the marking line and is directly over the "T" at the end of it. Click the jetway; if your aircraft does not include the required positioning information, you'll get a tooltip informing you that the jetway cannot be extended. Otherwise, the jetway should begin to position itself and eventually connect to your aircraft. Congratulations!

Implementation
