Besides improving the jetway control system, I'm currently also coding a new feature: Visual Docking Guidance Systems (VDGS).
I have integrated VDGS and jetway operations into a new menu called "Stand operations". Similar to GSX, you choose a parking position and then you can select from different options available at that stand, concerning VDGS and jetways. A seamless integration of SODE with GSX is in development by the way. So you'll be able to trigger jetways from the GSX menu!
Some special points include:
Here is a video showing the new stand operation menu and all the systems in action:

Some special points include:
- Support for multiple, aircraft type dependent stop positions. This is defined by the scenery designer for each stand.
- Automatic aircraft type detection for supported types (most common passenger aircraft)
- Exact simulation of different docking systems, including failure cases (e.g. ID FAIL) and parking assessment (OK or TOO FAR)
- System is using the nosewheel position for the calculations, not eye point or aircraft origin.
