I'm sorry if someone asked this question and it's been answered, I looked through the forums and did a search and couldn't find it:

I just bought GSX (and by the way, great product!  Thanks for the work!).  But I am having an issue where the Marshall is bringing me too far forward at the parking spots, then the jetways won't operate.  Some additional remarks - I am using default airport scenery, and if I slew the plane back a bit (where the nose wheel is on the "T") the jetways will work.  I know this has to do with MS's awesome ability that the plane's center will be over the "T", not the nose wheel, and I understand that GSX works based off of the AFCAD files.  So is there anywhere to adjust the configuration so the Marshall will stop the plane so the jetways will work?

Also, I noticed a lot of people talking about possible future options.  How about something that deals with Cargo operations in addition to the passenger ops.  So if you were flying a freighter and parked at a cargo spot, you would have containers lined up and the loader in operation (possibly a forklift or however they work in real life...not too sure about that  :-\ ).  Just a suggestion.

Again, thanks for the awesome product and I look forward to the future possibilities with this!

Just change the parking center with any AFCAD editor, the free ADE it's fine for this. But you might also try to play a bit with its radius, maybe the jetway will start working if you enlarge it a bit, try with small increments.

If there's no airport customization, the Marshaller will always place you with the airplane reference point (the red cross you see in the Top Down view) will be in the center of the parking as indicated by the AFCAD.

So I take it I would have to do this with every airport?  ???

Not necessarily, GSX has been designed with the default aiport in mind.  You may have found an outliers.

Well, the airports I have seen it at (so far) are KMSP, KCVG, and KMCO.  Also I am using the PMDG 737-800 on these flights.  I am flying FSX as well.
