Thanks Martin. Is the the latest version of Zibo? 3.46.11? Some users have reported troubles with the Zibo and World Jetways since earlier ones (3.44.XX and later). There was a theory that perhaps some reference coordinates, CG, geometry information, or something got changed between versions.
I spawn to a "cold and dark" state with beacon off, so I haven't seen it spawn with beacon on.
Sometimes, I can fix the issue in the plugin control menu by disabling auto mode and re-enabling it back from manual to auto. Then, the jetway will connect. I also would say that ~25% of the time when arriving at a new airport with the Zibo, and trying to dock, I do not get the docking guidance icon (grey vs green) on the screen.
I'll try the changed coordinates for a while and see if that helps. Maybe it's an architecture related issue as I'm a Mac user.
