This gate has a default jetway
pijnackerpilot:
I am experiencing an issue on KMCI default airport. The default aircraft placement is rather off set so the original msfs jetways don't respond to the default request to dock the jetway. Now I have gsx installed, hoping that it would sort out these issues. I launched the sim with the PMDG 737 on gate 26 and I used the customize parking position option to rearrange the aircraft and ground service vehicles so that it matches up with the gate. I can see that the default jetway has been replaced with a gsx .bgl jetway because it looks different and there is a logo on it.
When I use the GSX menu to operate the jetway nothing happens. I get the mesage that this gate has a default jetway. No, it doesn't. When I then deboard the aircraft, the pax are walking through an imaginary jetway instead of the real one.
Why can't I operate the jetway?

Yes, it does. Default here means "using the default MSFS system", that's what the GSX Jetways in MSFS are. Opposite to SODE, which are not controlled by the sim.

Likely because of the Stop position, which is independent from the parking center and it knows about the airplane doors. Page 39 of the manual has a chapter dedicated to it.

The point is that the jetway is not moving at all. It is in the idle position and yet, passengers are walking through the air.
How can I have the jetway to operate? Or won't it operate because the default would not operate?
In KRSW I see that the jetway is located halfway through the cockpit, when I dock that jetway it docks to door 1R instead of 1L. Yes I know MSFS default behavior.
Is there no way to customize the location of the jetways? I want to upload an image but the forum won't let me.

These oddly placed jetways can't customized in position?

That's precisely my point. It doesn't move, because it cannot solve from your position, so you should change the Stop position to make it easier for the jetway to reach the door, since you can't move the jetway.
