A330 Jetway

Hello again,

Just wanted to see as well if there is a chance that the jetway config could be updated to the L2 door (as of now L1 is being prioritized which isn't super realistic).

Thanks!

that would depend on MSFS, or do you use GSX?

Hello Ricardo,

Yes I do have GSX in MSFS.

Is there a specific way I need to request access to the L2 door with it?

Yes, I think there is a way to do this in the flight model configuration file.

Please make a backup of the original file before editing, just in case.

Only edit configuration files when the simulator is not running. If your simulator is running when you edit and save a configuration file, you will need to restart it for your changes to have effect.

Navigate to your...

\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\lvfr-a330-200\SimObjects\Airplanes\

...folder and open it.

You will see 3 folders which are the 3 different variants of the aircraft. You will need to open the folder for the variant you wish to edit. In that folder, you will see the flight_model.cfg. Open it with notepad.

Scroll to the bottom where you see the [INTERACTIVE POINTS]. Look for the ones labeled ; Passenger Door 1 and ; Passenger Door 2. You will need to swap the code after both interactive_point.0 = and interactive_point.1 = .

For example, for the A330-200GE...

interactive_point.0 = 0.4, 27.88, -9.25, 4.62, 0, 0, 0, -90, 72, 16, 85, 3, -2, 33 ; Passenger Door 2
interactive_point.1 = 0.4, 56.56, -8.20, 4.3, 0, 0, 0, -80, 85, 3, 72, 16, -2, 33 ; Passenger Door 1

becomes...

interactive_point.0 = 0.4, 56.56, -8.20, 4.3, 0, 0, 0, -80, 85, 3, 72, 16, -2, 33 ; Passenger Door 2
interactive_point.1 = 0.4, 27.88, -9.25, 4.62, 0, 0, 0, -90, 72, 16, 85, 3, -2, 33 ; Passenger Door 1

(the label after the ; is just a note/reminder)

Now the simulator should, in theory, recognize the L2 door as the primary door.

Be sure to save the file as File Type ALL and as a .cfg file. You can overwrite the old one as long as you've made a backup of the original, just in case. It will not work if saved as a .txt file.

Report back and let us know if it works for you.
