In both instances the control panel is merely switching off and on the KDCA_Static.BGL and KMDW_Static.BGL files as requested by DD.
Both of the files are model library files and don't contain any placement information so I suggest that they are contacted directly as to why their files don't appear to be working.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
No, we won't. Now we will contact ORBX directly.
Marcin, napisz proszę do ORBX z informacją, aby nie przekierowywali do nas spraw związanych ze swoimi instalatorami.

FYI: I've just asked ORBX for more details - as soon as we find the cause of problem, we will let you know.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
Please bear in mind that each modification or separate feature has a direct impact on the functionality of the scenery, number of future updates, development, testing, support, possible issues, etc. That's why we have a broader perspective considering the effective management of processes, resources and costs.MediumRareBaku wrote: ↑Friday 28 Oct 2022, 02:05 Who are you developing your products for, if not your customers?
Not yet. In the meantime we did some more tests, because this feature works fully fine in our installers. For some reason, it's not working for ORBX, but we are in contact with them.

We are developing our products for our customers and for our own pleasure/income. But I do not see how this question relates to the issue.MediumRareBaku wrote: ↑Friday 28 Oct 2022, 02:05 Who are you developing your products for, if not your customers?
That reply wasn't even addressed to you as it answers a particular distribution issue that wasn't critical in the case of X-Plane / P3D.
Working on it.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
It wasn't addressed to me, but it's relevant to me because I came here hoping to see a comment from you/your team saying that they would make the rest of the gates at KDCA functional with static aircraft removed. Why even bother giving me the option to remove static aircraft if I can't use GSX at those gates after?DD Stanislaw wrote: ↑Sunday 30 Oct 2022, 12:30We are developing our products for our customers and for our own pleasure/income.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
When KDCA was developed, GSX wasn't even available.
The option is mainly for VATSIM users.
Of course, you can use all the other gates as you wish.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
As I mentioned - currently we have one file responsible for all gates/stands in the particular airport.
Each new or alternative file means more updates, tests, possible issues, etc. That's why in some sense we are looking into so-called simplicity and universality.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
Hello- I recently purchased the DCA airport via MSFS marketplace. I reviewed handful of post regarding the lack of jetway movement. It's disappointing that many of the jetways move. Does the Design Team have any updates on how to fix the lack of movement? Would the product work differently if I had purchased the Airport via a 3rd party and not thru the MSFS Marketplace?
Thank you.
I may have missed the Design Teams previous response, if so please point me that direction. thank you.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
Hi.
No, the jetway animation was messed up by one of the sim updates. Probably about 1/3 of the jetways are currently unusable, the rest work fine.
We are currently working on jetways in the upcoming KEWR Newark and thoroughly analyzing the jetway behavior. After KEWR Newark is released, we will be able to fix KDCA jetways too. They have to be animated and exported again to work properly (the good thing is that we know how to fix them).

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
Irrelevant. MSFS natively allows you to connect jetways, and GSX was announced to be coming to MSFS very early on in MSFS's lifespan.DD Stanislaw wrote: ↑Wednesday 02 Nov 2022, 11:46 When KDCA was developed, GSX wasn't even available.
I can't use them as I wish if the gates don't connect, because I wish to use them with connected gates.DD Stanislaw wrote: ↑Wednesday 02 Nov 2022, 11:46 Of course, you can use all the other gates as you wish.
This is all anyone wanted to hear, that it will be fixed, thank you.DD Stanislaw wrote: ↑Wednesday 02 Nov 2022, 14:50 After KEWR Newark is released, we will be able to fix KDCA jetways too.

Re: KDCA Washington National MSFS
Something, which is irrelevant from your perspective, is relevant from the perspective of a development process + availability and compatibility for a different stores. Furthermore, we’ve never advertised our MSFS sceneries as compatible with GSX. But we have also never said that we will not think about such compatibility, but obviously not at the current stage when there are many projects having a higher priority.
