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!
A330 Jetway

Re: A330 Jetway
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?

Re: A330 Jetway
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.
