Concorde-X as is has a reference point some 5 meters back from where it should be in order to dock properly in a gate with Jetway.
From FSX/P3D -> World -> Go To Airport -> it positions the aircraft at what GSX marshaller indicates as 5.0 meters distance remaining.
This cannot be changed according to developer due to Flight Dynamics details.
To enable Jetway (CTRL+J) to link with the aircraft, Concorde must be stopped/positioned at what marshaller indicates as 10.0 distance and at HEAVY category only gate.
At MEDIUM gates I checked GSX just recognizes Concorde as off gate.
For preflight I just push it back a bit (SHIFT+P) by guessing the spot so I can get the Jetway.
For arrival I stop at GSX's Marshaller
10.0 instead of
0.
If I were to go to Marshaller's
0.0 the aircraft would be too far ahead not only for Jetway link but actually almost inside the building.
If I stopped at
5.0 (where FSX/P3D positions it) I would get GSX services but not Jetway movement.
I have tested this in both FSDT KJFK (Terminal 1 and 7) & Aerosoft/Simwings Heathrow Xtended at HEAVY category Gates
Is there a way I can edit this in GSX so that the 10.0m position (where the Jetway can make it) becomes GSX marshaller's
0.0m for Concorde
