Try it with a default airliner. If that works, then the following might be the problem..........
Your aircraft must have a proper [Exits] section in the aircraft.cfg file. It tells the sim where to attach the jetway.
Airliners updated from FS2004 may not have the proper data in the [Exits] section. The data wasn't present in FS2004 aircraft.
You can replace the [Exits] section with one from a similar FSX default airliner. You'll probably have to edit the longitudinal, lateral and vertical positions to get the proper attach point.
The longitudinal will probably be way off. You can make a good estimate of the main exit longitudinal by looking at the longitudinal position of the nose wheel in the [Contact_points] section.

Be at a default airport/gate. Some add-on/enhanced airports might use static jetways.
Nose wheel should be on the 'T'. To far forward and the jetway cannot extend to start it's movement.
The default keypress is [Ctrl+J], hold the Ctrl down and tap the J. Do not linger on or repeat the keypress as this could cancel the command.

Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2011 10:31 pmI've had the same problem, sometimes it doesn't work, but if your correctly placed and it still doesn't work, use the push back or throttle and continue to find the right starting spot for the Jetway.
