D5-D12 expanded all gates to fit that didn't already (for GSX operations) but still on every single D-gate I get the message 'No Jetway can operate at this position'. It's not a SODE issue because E-5 works fine for 777-200 in the same session. Connection shows active.
The message about the jetways is correct, because GSX won't let you use a jetway that it already *knows* (because it asked SODE to pre-solve it without animating it) it won't reach a door for any reason.
While the FSX default animation might have resulted in visual bugs, like jetways sinking in the ground, or exploded, with SODE it's either perfect, or it won't even move, which we believe is far more realistic.
There might be many reasons why a jetway cannot solve, and are a combination of:
- The plane used
- The actual parking position, which includes both the position and even the heading.
- The jetway model itself
So, it might be possible (or not) the jetway might work by parking slightly further/back.
We made a quick update for KIAH and SODE, because we never remodeled the jetway, but simply adapted the one we already had and placed it in the same position as it were, which was tested with a jetway made for the default animation system so, it's likely that some jetways in the airport won't work, and we might have to upgrade the jetway model itself. Of, possibly, change the stopping position required by GSX. Or a combination of both.
