Jetways - Correct Scale

Hi All -

  Thanks for the tip on Eod and elevated objects. I suspected I'd have to use EOD but was hoping I could use FSSC instead.
 1.    I'm installing Shehryar Ansari's jetways at my airport. He suggests using a scale of 0.17 but I find that's way too small. I've been experimenting and the correct scale for installing them in FSSC seems to be around [0.5] . I taxi a 737-400 up beside them and it looks pretty close but I have no way of telling for sure. Do any of you fellas know the exact scale?

 2.   His gate no's only go up to 45 and I have 97 at my airport.  He mentions that there is a way of manipulating the included textures to change the numbers.  Do any of you know how to do that?

  Thanks for your help -  Snowgoose

                 I might be out in left field with this but you might be able to use AFCAD to do that. I know it will let you add gates to an existing airport but not sure if you can change the numbering or not. I will check when I get home and let you know one way or another.

   I have checked and AFCAD is tool you need with it you can add delete or edit all the gates you want.
  Word to wise if you change gate numbering you might want to check your AI to make sure no aircraft were using the old gate. Not sure what would happen if you told an aicraft to go to a non existing gate or go to a gate that might not have enough room for the aircraft to park without hitting sometihng.

   On top of each jetway there is a number board. There are 45 jetways with no's from 1 to 45. I need to be able to change the no's on these boards. I'm not sure if AFCAD will work for that.
