iniBuilds Sheds Light on Multi-Jetway System for MSFS 2024
Quick summary· AI-generated
iniBuilds has unveiled a Multi-Jetway System powered by a lightweight WASM module that lets supported airports and aircraft deploy multiple jetways at single stands—a feature absent from MSFS until now. The system debuts at iniBuilds' Chicago O'Hare, with selected gates supporting up to three connected jetways depending on aircraft and stand layout. Players select which jetway to dock and which aircraft door to connect via the in-sim EFB app, with minimal performance impact. Initially launching at O'Hare, the feature will roll out to other iniBuilds sceneries over time, and developers can make aircraft compatible by properly defining door definitions in their flight model.cfg files.
Excerpt from Threshold
iniBuilds has shared a post detailing their new Multi-jetway System for MSFS 2024, which will allow supported airports and aircraft to deploy more than one jetway at a single stand, something which has not been present in MSFS previously.
It’s important to note that iniBuilds’ tool will only be available for iniBuilds airports.
iniBuilds’ Multi-jetway feature will debut at the upcoming iniBuilds Chicago O’Hare International Airport (KORD), where selected gates will support up to three connected jetways, depending on the aircraft and stand layout.
The new system, iniBuilds says, is powered by a lightweight WASM module that detects compatible aircraft at supported gates, then manages the available boarding bridges around the aircraft’s door layout.
They also say the performance impact should be minimal.
iniBuilds’ Multi-Jetway Tool is installed via the iniManager, and you’ll find it on the product pages of compatible sceneries, where the required components can be downloaded automatically.
From there, it should work without further configuration, according to IniBuilds.
The system will operate through the in-sim EFB app provided by MSFS, usually opened with the TAB key.
Once blocked at a compatible gate, you’ll be able to select which jetway you want to dock, and which door it should connect to, then click either the jetway or door again to disconnect.
As mentioned, only Chicago O’Hare from iniBuilds will support the feature initially, but it’ll make its way to other iniBuilds sceneries in due course.
Gates supported at O’Hare will include
Terminal 1 gates B16, B17, C10W, C16W, C18W, and C20W,
Terminal 5 gates M17 and M39W (on release).
Aircraft supported will include

FSDreamTeam is also working on a similar multi-jetway system for GSX, though further details remain limited for now. iniBuilds says their system will be compatible with GSX profiles, though it will not integrate with GSX’s own jetway request system.
You will still be able to use community GSX profiles alongside the iniBuilds Multi-Jetway System, but the jetways themselves must be called manually through the in-sim EFB, iniBuilds says.
To make aircraft compatible, developers will need to define aircraft doors in the flight model.cfg correctly, following Asobo’s documentation, with…
