Hi Try
CTRL+J

Park perfectly and press Ctrl + J as long as you are at a gate with a jetway.

it is the aircraft you are using like say you are using the defalt b747-400 and u try it and it should work, but if u use a add-on aircraft it wont i dont know y i think it has to do with the exits position in the aircraft.cfg idk i am trying to figure it out but it could be a lot of thing ill let u all kno when i find out 😉

To attach to a jetway, park it precise between the yellow line and crtl-J should work.
Not sure if there are different jetways for the big size planes though ...................
It starts at 45 seconds in.
I'm glad you're asking about this. It's a seemingly small aspect of flight simulation, but getting it right definitely adds to the realism and immersive experience that these simulators offer. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to connect to the gate/jetway in Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX). It's worth noting that this process is similar in both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 12.
Step 1: Align Your Aircraft with the Gate
First and foremost, you need to park your aircraft accurately. This means aligning your aircraft with the yellow markings at your designated gate. Make sure your aircraft's nose wheel is correctly positioned over the yellow line, which is often called the "lead-in line". This accuracy is paramount in ensuring a proper and safe jetway connection.
Step 2: Stop Your Aircraft
Once your aircraft is correctly aligned, bring it to a complete stop. Then, engage the parking brake (default key binding in FSX is SHIFT + .). A parking brake will ensure that your aircraft stays put, facilitating a smooth jetway connection.
Step 3: Request Jetway Connection
Now that your aircraft is safely parked and secured, you can request for the jetway connection. Press SHIFT + E + 2 simultaneously. This combination is the default command in FSX to initiate jetway connection.
Here's what each key does:
- SHIFT + E: Opens the main aircraft door.
- 2: This tells FSX to connect the jetway to the aircraft.
After a few moments, you should see the jetway begin to extend towards your aircraft's main door. If all goes well, the jetway should connect seamlessly with your aircraft.
Now, if you're using the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or X-Plane 12 platforms, the process is very similar but there might be some slight differences in key binding depending on the specific aircraft and the customization you've done on your simulator. Always refer to your specific aircraft's manual to get the most accurate information for your situation.
I hope this helps, and feel free to ask if you have any further queries. Happy flying!
