Yesterday I purchased FSDT KDFW to wrap up my final purchase in FSX before the MSFS 2020 releases. Upon switching the standard gates to SODE using a config file, I can't get the jetways to attach to the second door on the PMDG 777. When I pull up the GSX menu to activate the SODE Jetways, the only option is 1L. I haven't had this problem before in the PMDG 777 or with any other SODE Jetways so I am sure its not an afcad or aircraft file issue. One thought I've had is that the physical jetways might be too small to reach the 2L door at D30? I am using the largest size available to the two point steel jetways.
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated, and as always, thanks for great products and support!

Using the largest possible jetway doesn't automatically ensure it will reach a door. In fact, sometimes it cannot reach a door *because* it's too long.
Which is why, GSX has a "Test" feature in the parking editor ( NumPad 5 when a jetway is selected ), so you won't have to wonder if the jetway you chose will work with a particular airplane: if you use that airplane while customizing, the test function will make a sound if at least one jetway will work, with a text saying which jetways could reach which doors.

Thanks for that Info! Tried messing around with the other jetways lengths and if I go any shorter, GSX pops up a message saying something along the line of "No Jetway can connect at this position," so I am assuming that the way the jetways are positioned and the length of the 777 do not allow for second door docking at this specific gate.

With *that* specific model you choose. That's why GSX has so many models, in different sizes, to adapt for every airplane door configuration.
