animated jetways
I do debugging and documentation of animated jetways I plan to use them at EDDF and enable more aircraft to use them. There are at least 2 kind of animated jetways in Flightgear which are technically different. Both from the same author(skyop), But skyop does not like one of them anymore, so he removed my documentation from the wiki :-( http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Howto:Animated_jetways&oldid=87048
