EDDF Jetways A50 - A66 not docking correctly

Hi there,

I am wondering whether an update to the EDDF scenery is planned in April when the new Terminal 3 opens in real-world Frankfurt.
If so, that woul be a great opportunity to revisit an issue that (for me) is the main problem in an otherwise great scenery, which is the incorrect animation of jetways on the A+ pier.

I just repeated a systematic test with version 1.1.1 Rev C., checking all gates from A50 to A69 with two aircraft: the FBW A32NX, and the Inibuilds A350-900.
This is the result:
A50, A52, A54 and A58 --> animation crooked: final jetway section does not rotate correctly (A58 works by chance on the A350, but the front jetway is used to connect to the second door...)
A62 and A66 --> jetway not moving at all with FBW A320, crooked animation with Inibuilds A350
A69 --> OK

See below for some illustrating screenshots.

I would really appreciate if you could take a look at this. It has been bugging me for a long time.

Multiple airports in Australia and China not in data base

So it seems due to layout.json was corrupt and some parts of the nav data files were ignored. Using the layout generator solved the issue. I guess probably a reinstall would have solved it too.

Die Beleuchtung ist schon, vor allem in der dunklen Jahreshälfte, ein wichtiger Aspekt in Hinblick auf eine realistische Darstellung der Welt in XPlane. Mir ist das wieder deutlich aufgefallen, weil ich zuletzt viele neue Schiffs-Objekte in Kiel getestet habe. Zusammen mit dem für die Beleuchtung zuständigen HMK_XPNetwork-europe, sieht der Blick über die Kieler Förde in Richtung Kiel so aus:

Ich habe die Selektionen über die OSM-Datenbank so ausgestaltet, dass auch reine Fußwege, bzw. Radwege in die Selektion für die Überleitung nach XPlane gelangen, dort aber nicht gerendert werden. Dafür aber kommen da, wo dies so definiert ist, Straßenlampen zum Einsatz. Exemplarisch sind einige dieser beleuchteten OSM-Ways gemarkert:

Aus der Nähe betrachtet, sieht das zwar nicht so spektakulär aus,

macht aber doch einen deutlichen Unterschied!

Das kann ich gut nachvollziehen. Deshalb prüfe ich für mich immer wieder, welche Erweiterung mir wichtig ist - immer nach dem Motto "weniger ist manchmal mehr". Ggf. nutze ich im xOrganizer verschiedene Profile, die je nach Bedarf unterschiedliche Addons aktivieren. Und ob sich z. B. Windräder drehen oder nicht, ist mir eher egal. Aber da setzt jeder zurecht andere Prioritäten.
