Issues with GSX Level 2
Speedbird ATC:
Honestly? Highly underwhelming. The hype said that it would automatically replace ALL default jetways. I loaded the demo version on FSDTs CYVR. NONE of the SODE jetways match up to the default. Additionally, Umberto claimed the product would replace static jetways as well. Well, as you can see, not a single one of the static jetways is replaced. I don't have time to customize 128 parking spots. Especially when it's to an airport I will never fly to. I had very high expectations for this product and it looks like we have been sorely let down. Or perhaps am I the one at fault? Am I doing something wrong here?\

Also unrelated but how do you change the height of the jetway

It surely does.

I see your confusing. You confuse "default jetways", with "custom jetways using the default animation system". They are NOT the same thing and GSX L2 correctly replaces automatically ONLY the first kind, because surely nobody wants to see the old jetway model anymore.
Custom jetways using the default animation system, which GSX L2 CAN replace, but not automatically, are something which has been custom modeled and placed by a scenery developer, and it would be WRONG if we just blankly replace them, and this would require modifying a 3rd party scenery (ok, you said FSDT CYVR, but that's not the issue, we'll shortly release updates for our sceneries anyway, like we *DID* for JFK2 right now), which is not what we think is the right way to do things. Scenery developers would rightfully be angry if we started to patch their own sceneries, which would be the only way to replace such jetways automatically.
Instead, we did it in the right way, by creating separate exclude files that will stay in our own folder, and giving the flexibility to decide WHICH sceneries and WHICH gates should be replaced, and this is the ONLY way to achieve that, respecting other developers work. I would be very upset if there was another product that started to "patch" GSX files, for example. Nobody in his right mind could think is right to do this.

Never claimed that GSX can replace any kind of static jetways "automatically". I always said GSX can replace static jetways if you tell it to do it, by creating an Exclude file AND if these static jetways have been modeled as a separate object in the scenery.

You don't have time to read the manual either. If you did, you would have known it's possible to customize multiple parkings at once with just a single click.

I read that, but did not find a way to customize all Gates with that one click, because as i read i have to customize every one to bring it at the correct position.
How exactly should that work?
I have tried to change a Gateway in EDDP with installed German Airports Szenerie and the result without changing the position in GSX 3D Editor you can see in the attached Picture.
So...again, how can i change ALL Gates ( as example in EDDP ) with only one or maybe two clicks ??

I'm not sure what you are reporting there as a problem. The double jetway ? Are you aware that, in order to replace a jetway, you must first exclude the original one ? Please have a look at the video tutorial here and, if there something which is not clear, report back:
