• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,
I read the document and still not understand all of it. Since I am a layman, not computer geek, I don't understand all of that but I would love to try.
I wonder if jetway animation can be use with SODE. Since jetway bone-skin animation in FSX is faulty. The problem is the wheels sink to the ground and sometimes it does not square to the door.

Can SODE be used for this jetway animation?

It is not too difficult to make bone-skin animation for jetway and SODE can control animation by key stroke. It can trigger the animation to the last key frame and stop. Then animation backward to the original position. The missing part is the information of the gate of each aircraft that will lead to the right spot of animation. So I wonder if it can be used now or need further development.
Regards,
 
Hi Tic

Drzewiecki Design has used SODE for custom jetway animation in their latest products. However, I don't know how they implemented this in detail. SODE just provides the trigger mechanism, it doesn't use/compute position information of aircraft doors or such.
 
I got it, thanks for the reply.
If it can hijack the position of aircraft doors to work with it would be great.
