How do I get the jetway to come up to the circled door?

I pretty sure you have to change this value:

[exits]
number_of_exits=4
exit.0 = 0.4,  59, -6, 3, 0
exit.1 = 0.4,  65,  2, 3, 2
exit.2 = 0.4,  38,  6,-3, 1
exit.3 = 0.4, -30,  6,-3, 1

You need to move it back from 59, to something like 29 (30 feet) or lower. Zero (0) is probably at or close to where the main gear struts are (a rough estimate). So looking at the image, you know the Main Door (exit.0) is 59 feet forward of that point.

From the FSX SDK:

Five values: the open and close rate percent per second (where 1.0 is fully open), the position relative to datum reference point, and the type of exit, one of:
0 = Main
1 = Cargo
2 = Emergency

Example: Airbus A321( exit.0 = 0.4, 40.50,-6.0, 7.0, 0 )

Datum Reference Point
Positions of aircraft components are given relative to the datum reference point for the aircraft, in the order: longitudinal, lateral, vertical. The convention for positions is positive equals forward, to the right, and vertically upward. Units are in feet.
The datum reference point itself is specified in the weight_and_balance section.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Mark. I'll try it out and see what happens.

I'll make it easy for you.

Change the line: exit.0 = 0.4,  59, -6, 3, 0 to exit.0 = 0.4,  30, -6, 3, 0 and it will go to that second door.

Like this:

[exits]
number_of_exits=4
exit.0 = 0.4,  30, -6, 3, 0
exit.1 = 0.4,  65,  2, 3, 2
exit.2 = 0.4,  38,  6,-3, 1
exit.3 = 0.4, -30,  6,-3, 1

In my original reply, I said to move it about 30 feet. Funny how I was only 1 foot of for the setting. Roll Eyes

I scare myself sometimes! Undecided

In case anyone wants the same for the 757-300, it's a 40 in place of the 30 in the same line.  Wink
