Wondering if there's a way to increase the Level of Detail radius. I think while panning around it kept resetting and it resulted in the jetway getting stuck in the retracted position, but still "deployed." I also noticed the luggage on the carts disappears rather quickly. Terrain and Object LOD are set at 150 in the sim.

Bumping this as it may be a bug.

Yes, it's a known MSFS bug, which happens exactly the same with default jetways, we and other developers started reporting it to Asobo on the devs forum at least a year ago, they thought to have it fixed in a subsequent update, but it's still there.
This was the original thread, which illustrates the exact same issue you are having (jetway reportedly connected, but visibly not)

Thank you. Good information to have!
The other question is about LOD. GSX is very aggressive about switching to a lower level of detail model on objects and vehicles. Luggage disappears off carts, for example. Is there a way to adjust that? Is it tied to “Object LOD” in the sim?
EDIT: I believe my LOD question is the same as the “invisible objects” thread. I’ll increase Object LOD and see if it helps (and doesn’t hurt FPS).
