Bigger airplanes (B787, A747, A330…) are using 2 jetways when parked at the
gate for a faster de-/boarding process, the A380 even uses up to 3 jetways at
some airports. It would be nice to have the option to add multiple jetways per
parkingspot in the Sim as well. At some airports within the Sim there is
currently actual a second jetways, but as static object. Same goes for
multiple stairs at ramps, there are often 2 stairs for each aircraft (one in
the front and one in th rear)
I think before they add this they need to fix the massive disappearing regular
jetways first lol
@Kaiii3 Same with MARS gates which are also not
supported, however currently jetways do not work at all.

I have opened a new suggestion thread to request implemention of MARS gates:

Bump → as with upcoming widebody airlines, a multi-jetway support would
increase realism. When a gate has 3 jetways and you can only use, that is very
frustrating for end user.

Using GSX to load 500 more passengers into 747-8 with single jetway is pain.
And in real life most of the wide body jet will have dual jetways connection
to increase its efficiency also with some future wide body airliner to come I
think it is essential for the sim. Without this feature will lose lots of
immersiveness.

Again bump. Shouldn’t be to hard to implement dual jetway support? If not can it be opened up to the likes of SODE to control jetways operations including Multiple Jetways?

PMDG 777 incoming and we need this added to the SDK ASAP.

Hoping the 2024 SDK will have support for jetways like this-would be great with the 777.

Bump.
With the PMDG 777 now released into the hands of everyone and the highly anticipated iniBuilds A350 and FBW A380x on the horizon, it’s quite a shame that a feature of this nature hasn’t been implemented yet after so long.
I think it’s high time this gets looked into because I don’t think anyone would want to see just one jetway docked to a widebody; it kills/butchers the immersion.

Bump.
At the very very least room should be open for 3rd party devs to get this functionality going, like in the case of SODE which managed it for FSX and P3D.
It would really enhance the experience for both MSFS 2020 and 2024 if this works, so that long-haul can have some extra enjoyment on the ground

PMDG 777 is releasing on June 25th and it’s perhaps the FIRST and ONLY real study-level wide body we have in the sim. Yet the sim doesn’t even support dual jetway at the moment. We really need dual jetway support ASAP.

Hello @CES587,
Welcome!
Because what you are suggesting does not have anything to do with the SDK and/or DevMode, which is what the DevSupport forum is about, plus it has been designed for 3rd-party developers in mind (myself included), I kindly suggest you to formulate your upvote idea on the MSFS General Forums instead.
God bless you!
Regards,

Any posts regarding dual jetway support in the general forum will be closed by the moderators there. e.g. Double/Triple jetway connections - Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
Dev forum is exactly where we need to post. It is essentially a SDK update. I would suggest you to familiar yourself with all of the multiple jetway support posts in the past 4 years before saying “what you are suggesting does not have anything to do with the SDK and/or DevMode”.

I couldn’t agree more. With the wide bodies we have coming this should’ve been implemented by now!
Dual jetways were provided in P3D via SODE, fantastic bit of software. Could the devs reach out to him and implement that into the simulator?
My understanding is sceneries with dual jetways only have one jetway animated currently. Will this mean scenery devs will need to update there work to cater towards dual jetways being used or is it a default msfs system?

I’m pretty sure all of the jetways are operational and animated but only one will be selected to move. That one jetway will be automatically selected based on the stop position of your aircraft.
This feature really can’t be that hard to develop. We have TFDi MD-11 coming in a week and PMDG 777 in less than 24 hours. I can’t even imagine having to dock only one jetway to these beauties when they release.

It would be great to add multiple jetway connections for longhaul airlines
like the 747 and 787 inclused in the sim and others like the upcoming 777 and
A380. Thx in avance. Plz upvote !
Bump. PMDG 777 releasing on the 25th. We need multi-jetway support.

With msfs 2024 releasing in November, doubt it will happen.

Yeah, hoping this gets added over time in the 2024 SDK but probably not the highest priority.
