alexzar14 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The jetways appear only when scenery is set to Extremely Dense (maximum), you see no jetways at a lesser setting. Anyway to fix this by editing a bgl file or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Advanced animations on, right? Sounds like this payware needs higher settings to be fully functional. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexzar14 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yes it does, the manual says the scenery setting must be set to max. I don't know why they had to "reinvent the bicycle" with this one, why couldn't they do it like everybody else does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexzar14 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yes. It's not about money here, it's about Atlanta scenery, I don't know what to do about it. Who flies and lands the iFly 747 with scenery settings on Extra-High? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvarn Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I haven't used this scenery, but if I had to guess at the reasoning, if this scenery is pretty intense such as jetways at every gate, the graphic load must be pretty intense so they expect people with very high end machines to want gates and others none, but still get a lot of other airport detail. More likely than not, this decision is a result of their internal testing while balancing their objectives for the scenery. Not every computer behaves the same way. Related, they also likely didn't test the scenery with every possible aircraft which was on the market when they released it (tens of thousands) and certainly not on aircraft which didn't exist when they released it. Most developers test with default aircraft because that's what everybody has (whether they fly them or not) unless they specifically mention it. The more money you spend on a product, the more research required to be sure you get what you expect for the money. Just speculating knowing a bit about how developers, testers and marketing works together... -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yes. It's not about money here, it's about Atlanta scenery, I don't know what to do about it. Who flies and lands the iFly 747 with scenery settings on Extra-High? Who flies anywhere in a high-intensity aircraft with the settings on extra-high? I think you've found the problem.

ScatterbrainKid Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Did Imaginesim warn people in the advertising that it needed max density settings? If there was no warning you could try for a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We want you to be happy when buying one of our airports so please try the free demo version first to make sure that everything works smoothly with your PC setup. Once you have purchased you will need an internet connection to complete installation." That's why I asked about trying the demo version first.

alexzar14 Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Pv, the reference to iFly 747 was a figurative speech, meaning basically a payware aircraft released as way back as 2006. ScatterbrainKid, I used a trial version, no refund is necessary. Again what I am talking about here is an FSX addon-development-equivalent to a medial or an engineering error, where a developer did not properly address the design techniques. Although to me it would appear obvious - no scenery should be designed to show up with EXTRA-HIGH display settings only, especially when it comes to jetways. It's good but not overcomplexed, no reason absolutely to exclude the jetways. A sad error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
