Air Marshal

[mrbill55]

I recently did a flight to LAX in a 767. I had the truck take me to the gate, but there was no marshal there to park me. Please explain. Everything else worked fine. (baggage, cater, etc)

From the GSX manual, Page 23:

Maximum Marshaller distance
By default, the Marshaller distance it’s a function of the Parking radius specified in the AFCAD, and the eyepoint position in the cockpit: the higher the eyepoint, the farther away the Marshaller will be placed. The distance is lowered if there’s a jetway, on the assumption that Gate usually have a wall behind, so the Marshaller might be easily hidden behind it.

Sometimes, it’s possible this calculation can’t fit any situation. By setting this value to a number of meters (start with about 20 meters) you can fix situations were the Marshaller can’t be seen because it’s inside a building.
