What type of airplanes are you having trouble with?

The aircraft must have the correct entries in the [Exits] section of the aircraft.cfg file.

Aircraft upgraded from FS2004 do not unless the author updated the section.

You can look at one of the default FSX airliners to see what's needed. Besides the data, you should see notation describing the required data.

Basically the sim needs to know the location of the main and cargo exits. That data was not

If the plane in question has been updated for FSX and has the correct [exits] information, when you pull up to the T.. set parking break, shut down your engines, and open the door (shift+E).   This should allow the gate agent to bring the jet bridge to your plane.
