Seems to be a lot adjustments to be made on the consumers part for basic operations that were not required before
What do you mean with "before" ?
Surely nothing related to GSX Level 2, since the adjustment required for the Marshaller to guide you hasn't changed at all. You are only been given the ability to add a custom jetway, but that doesn't have any relationship to the number of adjustments you require to do to control the Marshaller.
If, instead, with "before", you mean an old GSX version, like a year or more older, then yes, we added the ability to set the Stop Position back then, in order to be able to precisely control where the marshaller will guide you, instead of the not very reliable system we use to have, which didn't take into account the passenger door and its relationship with the front gear and the scenery itself.
