Anyone have ground give you this response? It’s happened a few times. I’m parked in the proper position, so I’m not too close/far away.
Man times. USUALLY (maybe 80% of the time in my limited experience) if you ask a second time, they will connect the jetway. This kind of nonsense is very immersion-breaking and part of the reason I’ve drifted away from airliners since the sim was launched.

I asked five times and nothing. The passengers weren’t pleased… 
I’m waiting for some creative modder to add inflatable rescue slides, and animated PAX jumping out onto the tarmac like little annoyed lemmings.

There are a couple of free mods over on Flightsim.to for pushback and a plethora of other items like jetways. They both work very well. It’s ludicrous that you need to radio the tower to have a jetway connected.

Asobo must of got inspiration for this quirk from YYZ. Last couple of times I’ve flown there(real life), we’ve had to wait for a gate operator to show up before we could connect.
So I don’t mind this MSFS quirk if it randomly occurs, with the diminishing ground crew in MSFS due to attrition, there is bound to be delays

Glad it wasn’t just me … was beginning to wonder if my anti-perspirant wasn’t working!
Hopefully the next update might cure that also …
When I can’t get the jetway, it often turns out I’m not in the parking spot. I might be neatly in the lines drawn on the ground, but when I open Little Nav Map, it turns out the actual parking spot is offset a bit. It seems that if you don’t get enough of the plane in the parking radius, it doesn’t link you to an active jetway.

Interesting! I’ll need to check that out next time. Thanks!
