jetways not connecting to AI traffic

checked, thanks for help.

Jetways will typically connect to aircraft during their pre-flight routine. So if the "Jetway" option is enabled in, Traffic Control Centre > Aircraft Manager > Ground Services the jetway should connect to the aircraft when the AI aircraft "activates" at their departure time.

Beyond this, everything else related to the jetways is handled by the simulator.

If you are moving around the airport in the showcase/drone camera, the jetway LODs do tend to make the jetways retract when you are a certain distance away from them, and when you move back closer to them they never seem to extend back to the aircraft, so that may be a reason why you aren't seeing them connecting.

Not sure I guess, I do have jetway enabled. I just almost never see them connect at departure or arrival airports. Except occasionally at arrival when plane comes in and comes up to gate it will connect but not always. Thanks

So I figured out what was going on. In options I reduced Time before departure value down to 30. I did this to reduce AI traffic to help with FPS. I also started using AI ground which has options to help with that also. It was helping so good that I tried bringing back Time before departure to 90 which is default value, and bingo now all the gate are connecting. Just an FYI for anyone who might have same problem.
