Now align your airliner so that the nosegear is centered on the marking line and is directly over the "T" at the end of it.  Click the jetway; if your aircraft does not include the required positioning information, you'll get a tooltip informing you that the jetway cannot be extended.  Otherwise, the jetway should begin to position itself and eventually connect to your aircraft.  Congratulations!

Simply place a <tt>Models/Airport/jetway-movable.xml</tt> wherever you want- note that the origin of the jetway models are always at the terminal rotunda of the first jetway.  You can download the movable jetway models through [[TerraSync]] or from [http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/modelbrowser.php?shared=7 the Airport section of the FlightGear Scenery Database model directory] (look for "jetway-movable.xml," "jetway-movable-2.xml," or "jetway-movable-3.xml").
