I’ve had issues since well before that version, so I don’t think that’s it.

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.

I noticed that the door location was different in the default 737-800 and the 737-800X XML files. I changed the B737-800X XML file to have the same door coordinates as the default 737-800.xml. This resulted in the jetway connecting at KLAS default scenery gate B19. Top is the original and bottom is the edited. Could it be that the Zibo 737 XML definition shipped with SAM just needs some tweaking? ➜ aircraft diff 737-800X.orig.xml 737-800X.xml 3c3 < <door position="LF1" x="-1.72599995" y="-0.579999983" z="-13.6000004" psi="13.0500002" opendref="laminar/B738/door/fwd_L_toggle" openvalue="1" opendelay="5" closedref="laminar/B738/door/fwd_L_toggle" closevalue="0" closedelay="10" type="1" /> --- > <door position="LF1" x="-1.61600006" y="0.2133600120" z="-13.9110003" psi="11.5600004" opendref="laminar/B738/door/fwd_L_toggle" openvalue="1" opendelay="5" closedref="laminar/B738/door/fwd_L_toggle" closevalue="0" closedelay="10" type="1" />

I am having the same issue with the latest Zibo (3.46.11) as well as the last few versions. I start a flight at a default scenery airport with engines not running, and the SAM jetway starts connected and then retracts away! World Jetways 1.0.4 with Sam2 suite 1.4.2. Nothing in the log file.
