Impossible to help you without knowing anything about the scenery you want to replace jetways with. Which kind of jetways it uses ? Default or SODE ?

Quoting from the GSX manual, Page 4:

Quote
On a 3rd party airports that use SODE jetways, GSX Level 2 will never interfere with them but, if the base GSX is purchased, they can be operated from the GSX menu.

And on the product announcement thread as well:

Also, if your addon airport already use SODE jetways, we won't touch it, assuming a developer who made the effort to support SODE, already did jetways in the best possible way so, we won't allow customization of these sceneries.

Note that, this doesn't mean it's not possible at all to customize airports with SODE jetways, just it cannot be done automatically, because doing so would require modifying/removing files that belongs to the scenery, which is both wrong and potentially unsafe, so we don't have a system to do that from the program.

But if you remove the SODE .XML file that belongs to that scenery, you'll be able to replace jetways there as well.

Quoting from Page 13 of the GSX manual:

Quote
IMPORTANT

Some sceneries might have Jetways which are static, and those cannot always be
replaced, depending how they are made.

If a Jetway is static, but it’s modeled as a separate object, usually placed in a “Library .BGL”, it can be replaced by GSX with the same method explained above.

If a Jetway is static, but it’s modeled as part of the same 3D mesh of the buildings it belongs to, it cannot be replaced by GSX. Not without disabling the whole
building, of course.
