affirmative, but it worked very nicely in previous builds when you added this feature. Door closed as soon as I hit the request pushback option.

I think I know the cause: we had a bug because, it seems that in one of the updates ( not sure if it was SU12 or before ), Microsoft/Asobo has added a feature that automatically open/close the main exit when the jetway connects.

This caused a bug with GSX, which tried doing the same thing, resulting in the door being closed and then opened again so, we fixed it by not closing it anymore if there's a jetway. Obviously, in case of the PMDG that has a custom door handling, which will never be affected by this automatic movement by the simulator itself, we need to do an exception.
