Can anyone tell me how to get the jetway to connect with the SkySpirit 763ER? I know it has something to do with the contact points but I don't know what. What would I copy from the fleet 767 CFG that would help?

Are you using the default FSX jetways or AES?

In the acft folde there is an aircraft confige file (acft.cfg ). In it there is a section that deals with the contact points. You can open it with wordpad and change them to match the entries of a 767 that does work. Then close wordpad and when it asks if you want to save it check yes.

I know how to edit the CFG file via Flus-i-Fix (An FS tweaking program). What part of the fleet 767-300 CFG would I need to copy to get the contact points? I am assuming both 767-300's have the same jetway contact points. Thanks!

Why not just play with it till it works? That would be how I figure out what's under the FS hood.
