In the FSX version, thanks to the fact the sim supports animated jetways natively with inverse cinematics, with automatic airplane door recognition, the jetway will be operated using the standard keyboard command in FSX, CTRL+J, and it will work with any FSX airplane.
For the FS9 version, the problem is that Zurich has simply too many different kind of jetways, and one would have to multiply all the different kind of jetways, with all airplane kind, and each combination would need a separate animation, since FS9 doesn't support inverse cinematics and bones animation, so it's not possible to make a single jetway automatically adapt to all airplanes. The number of different animations for this airport would simply be too much work, even assuming that the sim would be able to handle such amount of animation.
Most likely, only the FSX version will have animated jetways.

will they be activated via a NAV frequency like many other scenery add-ons? Those glass jetways looks amazing? Keep up the good work!
Thanks!

For FS9 I can offer the Support by AES, where all this can be done. So you are wellcome to contact me via Aerosoft.
