I am playing with the parameters under EXITS and jetway stops always in the same place (as in the picture above). All surrounding gets well with AI planes... Could there be any other tricky point in set-up of my plane ??
many thanks

Hi all,
another observation. I tried these jetways with my plane on another airport - JFK of FSD. It seems there it works perfectly...So it must be something with Geneva. Any idea ?
many thanks !

I've asked to do the opposite, instead:

Have you tried a default airplane on the same gate ?

Hi, I am sorry, I did not mention that. Yes, I tried with Geneva also the default plane and the same result. Jetway stops somewhere in the middle way (similar to jpg posted) put down stairs and park.... This is the same with any gate....

Are you parked in the correct place ? What happens if you position the airplane using the standard "Go To Airport" menu ?

Then you have to just accept the FSX jetway animation system (that we don't have any control over) is not very reliable. If there are problem with the jetway programming or placement, it won't move. But once the jetway starts, we are in the hands of FSX.
