Gate Selection on Take-Off
« on: August 03, 2010, 08:07:24 pm »
I'm flying a Quality Wings 757 (Heavy) from KJFK.  Is there a gate that I can select that has a jetway on take-off?  Every-time, when presented a gate to select for departure, I select GA Large thinking that's the equivalent for a plane of that size.  I end-up with a seemingly outlining gate having no jetway, and in very cramped quarters, the nose landing gear seems to be inside or through a concrete barrier.  I'd like to find a gate that is appropriate for this type of plane, is there one?

There are probably hundreds of gates at JFK with jetways and large enough to take a 757. Terminal 5, for example, is the most modern, with all gates featuring jetways and docking systems, but it's not the only one.

Note that, terminal numbers at JFK are not like in reality, because of FSX naming limitation. But, you can use the ParkMe menu, to check the gate numbers in the sim, compared to reality.
