Jetways
« on: March 01, 2021, 05:16:16 pm »
The jetways at Fairbanks Alaska International Airport do not line up properly with my Boeing 737-800, they crash into the front of the aircraft and then move back to the main entrance during boarding and deboarding. I tried repositioning the aircraft at the gate, but the problem still exists.
I don't know if this is a GSX problem or FSX, so you might want to check it out.

Scenery is ''Fairbanks Alaska International Airport'' and as far as I know, there is only one kind of a FSX Boeing 737-800.

I don't know if you're using any add-on aircraft or scenery, that's why I'm asking. You could be using the default FSX 737-800, the PMDG 737-800, the iFly 737-800, the TDS 737-800, or some other one. I wouldn't know.

It's all FSX scenery and FSX default 737-800 aircraft, the only addon is GSX2.

You mean the airport is using default jetways that has been replaced by GSX jetways ?

Yes, according to GSX Control Panel.

Then the issue might simply be that, due to a combination of the jetway model and the airplane position, they cannot solve at that particular airport.

Which is why GSX allows you to both change the jetway model for every gate, and the airplane stop position on ground, I'm sure if you set both correctly, you'll find a combination that works.

Yes, it took a few tries with combinations and different gates and aircraft positions and I finally worked out well. One for the books.
