Please be more clear. By saying "w/SODE option(s) as well", you mean some sceneries that have SODE jetwasy opposed to other sceneries that don't have SODE (and you have problems with both), or the same scenery that is giving you an option to use either SODE jetways or CTRL+J jetways ?
In any case, depending on the option, none of your problems are caused by GSX, because:
- If the airport use SODE jetways, GSX won't do anything to it, and won't even allow you to do anything to it, unless you explicitly remove its SODE XML configuration file. So, whatever issues you have on a scenery that use SODE jetways, it's nothing to do with GSX and would allow just as GSX was never installed, since those jetways are *created* by the scenery with SODE, configured in the SODE XML file that comes with the scenery, and are entirely activated by SODE. The only information we get about them, is their number, location and their height so we can walk passengers through them, but we don't have any control over their appearance or how they work.
- If the airport use CTRL+J jetways, GSX again won't do anything to them by default. You must go through the whole exclusion procedure, which will then allow you to put a GSX/SODE jetway in place of the old one. But before you do that, nothing in GSX has changed anything on a 3rd party scenery jetway that uses CTRL+J modes. The only models we replace automatically are those on default airports.

Umberto,
Why would the jetway option be disabled using the Aircraft Position Editor? It's already a SODE jetway but I want to customize it by putting the United logo on the jetway.
Thanks,
Steve

It's precisely because it's a SODE jetway that you cannot customize it, since GSX assumes if a 3rd party scenery came with SODE jetways, it wouldn't make much sense replacing them. In order to be customizable, a jetway must be a GSX/SODE Jetway, one that has been added by GSX, not already included in a 3rd party scenery.
If a scenery already comes with SODE jetways, it cannot be further customized, unless you do it manually, and remove all SODE jetways from the scenery SODE XML configuration file.

Thanks Umberto.

I've followed your Tutorial step by step. I'm working with Mega Airport Zürich 2.0 I've tried to change the whole airport in one when I came back nothing happened. So I've increased the number in the Parking Position Menu to 100m. After this the Jetways on the Gate I was parked an the ones on my left and right disappeared but the rest was still there. Can you help me please?
