The following will describe how to get these values.  I will be using [[Blender]] for this purpose, but any 3D modeling program that can read [[AC3D]] files will suffice.

First, open up your 3D modeling suite and import one of the jetway models.  Currently, they are located under <tt>[[$FG_ROOT]]/Models</tt>; in the future, this is likely to change to <tt>[[$FG_ROOT]]/Models/Airport</tt>.
First, open up your 3D modeling suite and import one of the jetway models.  They are located at <tt>(TerraSync directory)/Models/Airport</tt>, and are available through [[TerraSync]] or the [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/modelbrowser.php?shared=7 Airport section of the FlightGear Scenery Database model directory] (look for "jetway-movable.xml," "jetway-movable-2.xml," or "jetway-movable-3.xml").


Now import your aircraft model (in this case, I am using [[User:Gijs|Gijs']] [[Boeing 747-400]]).  Align it with the marking line as if you were piloting it.
