Jetways not moving again v5.3

[sotiris]

Hi,

I noticed that in v5.3 the default jetways do not move towards AI aircraft, just like in v5.1, if I remember well.
In v5.2 was corrected, but now I think it was missed again. Anybody else noticed it ?

Yet, in a nutshell, v5.3 is faster and more stable.

@ P3D team,

Could you please tell me if you intend to correct it ?
If not, I 'd rather roll back to v5.2HF1.

Thanks.

BAW12,
Where is that "airport_objects.bgl" residing ?

[BAWV12]

P3D inst. dir\scenery\global\scenery

[sotiris]

I opened airport_objects.bgl in XModel converter

Do you mean ModelConverterX ?
If yes, I used it to open airport_objects.bgl, but produced no model preview.

[BAWV12]

Yes, XModel. You need open file, click on model list in the toolbar, search for AIR_Jetway_01 if I remember correctly.
If You want replace jetway model, You will need install LM P3D SDK from download section, install it and in the XModel set path to tools located in SDK.

[sotiris]

No BAW12, ModelConverterX cannot decompile airport_objects.bgl.
And what is that program XModel ?

[BAWV12]

It is ModelConverterX. And can decompile .BGL, You need install SDK and set paths to SDK files. Check red lines in the log box. I will make some screenshots, but I'm not sure about EULA, because it is reengineering :(

[BAWV12]

First step is configuration. I have very old ModelConverterX, but with proper paths to the tools works.





Then You can import file airport_objects.bgl and with Scenery Object Editor You can find jetway model :

Thanks for your detailed description but :

I use ModelConverterX v1.3.0.0. Don't know what version you use. My version has not any BGLFlatWriter section.
I configured all the rest pointing to the proper SDK files-paths including modeldef.xml.
I attempted to import airport_objects.bgl unsuccessfully, as Converter found no objects in that file.

By the way, how can I attach a screenshot in this forum ?

[BAWV12]

I have 1.4.0.0. Development version 1.5.0.0 is available from https://www.scenerydesign.org/development-releases
And about screenshots - please check https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopi ... 3&t=141933

[sotiris]

OK, I installed v1.4.0.0 and worked this time. I now have created AIR_jetway01.mdl and AIR_jetway01.bgl.
How can I embed in airport_objects.bgl now ?
