I actually managed to create a push-in config at EDLW.
It's a bit quirky and you'll have to compromise a bit, but it works quite well. Here's what I have done:
1. I re-configured one gate (in my case gate 6) and turned it 180°, moved it a bit to be on one of the fitting markings.
2. Then I re-positioned another gate (in my case gate 7) to be the taxiway M, turned 90°. I removed everything I don't need in the menu.
3. When I taxi in, I select gate 7. The marshaller will then stop me at the newly defined holding point on taxiway M (similar how the do it IRL).
4. Then I call for pushback and define a custom pushback route to end on the parking positioned gate 6 I defined above (1.). This custom route is saved by GSX btw.
5. It will then push me on to gate 6, ending up facing north/west, tail to the gate.
6. After pushback, I have to select "reset position" in the gsx menu, for GSX to "loose" connection to gate 7 and recognize that the aircraft is now on gate 6.
I can then call the stairs etc. normally ...
I still haven't tried if I can now also define walk-in passengers that will walk to the gate behind the plane... will try that next.
Downsides:
- You'll have to approach the first position from the correct direction. So depending on the runway in use, you'll probably have to configure a gate for each direction.
- You'll lose those gates you put on the taxiway M, because the essentially just places to call pushback from now.
But so far, it worked for me. Maybe this can work for you as well.
