So, I've looked around for a while now to no avail. I have the ground scenery density slider all the way right. When I land at an airport and taxi to the gate assigned to me by ATC, it will be the only gate visible without a jet-way or luggage vehicles. Also, I have the airport traffic slider all the way up. It is very annoying and would love to know if anyone has a fix for this. Thanks!

Just don't listen to ATC and park where you want, thats what I do. I'm not aware of any fixes as such to this? Third party scenery software might be different to the default?

You did not say if this is a stock FSX airport or a addon and which airport it is.

 

If you want ground support vehicles such as the luggage and baggage cart then the parking spot has to be coded as a Gate.

 

You can download ADE9X Airport utility and change the parking spot to a Gate. You can also add Jetways when they are missing.

 

If this is a addon airport you might need to contact the designer since they would have the master file that was used.

What the name of the airport?

This is the stock IAD terminal D. The only add-ons I have are the default 737-800 textures (hence the UA paint scheme)

You can also use ADE & AFX to add or change the airline assignments for any gate and provided you have the aircraft's config file with a "atc_parking_codes=XXX" statement in it you will be directed to a gate with a matching assignments. Don't forget to change "XXX" to the code for the airline you are flying such as "UAL" or "SWA" etc.
