Once I parked the Aircraft, how do I make the Gates and Baggage vehicles come to the Aircraft?

Without an add on, I haven't been able to find anything. Various payware heavy jets usually come with a good compliment of ground crew. As for jet ways those usually come with entire airport replacements like those from Aerosoft.

Probly your GFX card isnt good enough it has to be oretty good to run advanced animations

You must have the exit positions defined in the "aircraft.cfg" file so the vehiles\jetways
know where to connect.

Here is the section from the default A321 as a quide:


// openclose rate percent per second, longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet),
// type  (0=Main 1=Cargo 2=Emergency)

[exits]
number_of_exits = 3
exit.0 = 0.4,  45.50, -6.0, 7.0, 0  
exit.1 = 0.4, -33.50, 5.85, 1.0, 1
exit.2 = 0.4,  34.50, 6.0,  1.0, 2  

For any aircraft you'll need to figure out where the doors are relative
to the model origin. I use the gear contact point data as a refernece
to approximate the locations. In some cases I "attach" lights to the
positions I have "guestimated" so I can see exactly where the data
points are refernencing.

I've also seen a download or two with the door data for various
aircraft. Search the libraries here and at Avsim..

You can make the jetway come at you, atleast you can with stock fsx planes, I think its shift+j.
