That we already made a GSX configuration for it, which is internal to the program, so you don't have to create one yourself.
If you want to use an unsupported airplane, you must first create a GSX configuration for it, using the internal airplane configuration editor. Once you do that (the procedure is fully explained in the manual), the airplane becomes "supported".

Jetways don't have anything to do with GSX, that doesn't control, doesn't affect, is not affected by jetways. Nothing you do in GSX has an effect on jetways in any way. They ARE bugged, and there's nothing you can do to fix them completely.
This will likely change in future versions of GSX, but it will still require all sceneries that use default FSX jetways, to be updated.

Umberto thanks for your asnwer. Just to stay in topic I would add 2 more CLS aircrafts beeing the 747 HD and the new DC-10 HD
Now I have a question for GSX as I noticed using the PMDG MD-11 when boarding pax GSX ask for opening the fwd L cabin door which is done by the shortcuts in the FMC or the aircraft. Now the jetways always connect to the middle L cabin door which I believe is correct due to the lenght of the airplane. (If you stop the MD-11 into the gate so that the jetway connect to the fwd L door I'm afraid the aircraft is way to aft of the position)
So would it be possible to change the GSX logic so that it asks the middle L door to be opened instead of the fwd one ? Also when starting the boarding sequence even if the jetway is already connected to the aircraft GSX would ask to operate the jetway which I find illogical. When you start FSX with MD-11 at gate you want the jetway to be connected already as pilots / tech need to board the plane, do the preflight etc. request the fuel & meal services etc. then start the boarding process. (without having to operate the jetway as it is already connected) Is it possible to change the logic of GSX so that it checks if the jetway is there or not before issuing the warning message ? In any case it could b e a warning message but not a "condition for GSX to allow boarding" type of message.
Kind regards

Of course. And there's nothing we must do, you can do it with the configuration editor see here:

,
GSX doesn't know or controls ANYTHING about jetways. It only knows if a parking have one, that's it. There's no way to know if a jetways is extended or not.
fowler:
Niceeee just did it and it worked. Thanks for the tip !! Also I was wrong about the "Jetway message" I was under the impression it was an obligatory thing to operate the jetway when starting the boarding sequence but it is only an advisory message. As you say jetway is unknown to GSX and it is operator/simmer responsability to ensure it is there before the boarding sequence is initiated, which makes perfect sense. Last thing for now I would like to know it it is normal that the cargo loader stay in position (in contact with airplane) waiting for operator to close the cargo door when loading is finished ? I don't know in real live either, but looking at the cargo door it looks like it is "slicing" trough the cargo loader when closing. Any way to make the loader go back a few meters before calling loading finished and ready to close the cargo doors ?
fowler:
Just installed new version of GSX and notice now the cargo loader go away from airplane at the end of loading so the above mentionned issue as been fixed. I have to say I'm very impressed with the quality of the work of these guys, I never ever tought I could enjoy ramp ops / flight preparation as much as I do now with GSX and these beautifuls airport sceneries we have now. I find it funny to set the time at ETD (block) minus 20 min. do the ramp service (meals,fuel,pax and cargo loading), cockpit preparation (FMS loading) etc. all the while watching the onboard clock with anxiety wondering if the flight is going to make it one time or not. ;D
