TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK triggers jetway movement with invisible bus/ramptruck when at gate

Version: 1.4.18.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Bug description:
When using the event TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK, this triggers the jetway as well when positioned near a jetway. Based on 2020 behaviour, TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK should not be moving the jetway. Moreover, invisible ramp vehicles can be see spawning when the jetway is moving. This behaviour happens to both 2020 SDK aircraft and 2024 aircraft in 2024.

When fixed, TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK shouldn’t result in any movement and invisible ramp vehicles should not spawn.

Repro steps:
Trigger TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK event when aircraft is position at a gate position.

This was tested through the EFB in the video but can be repro through aircraft custom EFBs too.

Attachments:

sorry i tagged it wrongly as a 2020 bug. It’s now in the correct 2024 bug section.

Looks like this is now partially fixed in SU3 since 1.5.3? Checked again in 1.5.9 and the ramp truck command behaviour seems to be split in behaviour now.

2020 Packages
TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK still triggers on the first event call but no longer responds after that. Just requires a fix for the first call and it will be resolved.

2024 Packages
TOGGLE_RAMPTRUCK still moves the jetway when at a parking space where the jetway is available. However, at a remote stand, the ramp truck will spawn but not connect. This situation doesn’t have any improvement, rather it has a degradation in function.

Hello @Heclak

Some changes were made in SU4 beta to address this.
Behavior will not be identical to 2020 but should be closer.
Can you check and let us know if this is ok for you?

Unfortunately, the aircraft that I would usually test this with are currently not working in the beta (possibly due to the wasm issues). I’ll test it again in the later betas once the aircraft can load again. Thanks for letting me know some changes have been made.

Hello @Heclak

Have you been able to check this?

Regards,
Sylvain
