===Animated jetways finalized===
An exciting new feature comes to FlightGear with the completion of [[User:Skyop|Skyop's]] [[Howto: Animated jetways|animated jetway system]]. The first airport to implement it is none other than KLAS; however, due to a bug in [[FlightGear 2.0.0]], a recent [[Git]] copy of FlightGear and [[Howto: Animated jetways#Usage|a slight fix]] is required to see the jetways.

To use the system, taxi to an animated jetway and park your aircraft with your nosegear on the "T" at the end of the marking line.  Click the jetway, and if your aircraft has the appropriate values in its <tt>-set.xml</tt> file, the jetway will extend and raise/lower itself to your door! Updated <tt>-set.xml</tt> files for the [[Boeing 737-300]], [[Boeing 747-400]], and [[Boeing 777-200ER]] can be downloaded from [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8728&start=90#p91826 this post] of the development thread.
