You know, when i was using the another company AES program, it did the same thing. (looking at my plane from the top view) My wing was actually in back of the gate (that was connected to my plane) but when i went to my wing view, my wing was in front of the jetway. The wing looked normal sized but the gate looked huge so i think its just the airplane coordinates thingy majig.
Interesting observation there, Kalai...!
Both Mark and I have contacted the GSX support, but here we where refused by the statement that GSX simply uses the airports AFCAD file in conjunction with the actual size of the airplane in order to determine the correct parking/gate ..!

Since I started flying the CS 767-300 I have had strange issues with building crashes and ATC directions to outskirted parking spots in all stock and addon airports. And now this issue with GSX..!
A time ago I complained to another company, telling them that something had to be wrong with their parking radius settings in their AFCAD files. They did their best to help me, but couldn't find any errors in that respect.
Then I finally ran into this statement from the GSX developer:
If the parking radius is smaller than half of your wingspan, GSX will say it's too small for your aircraft because it IS too small, at least this is what the AFCAD says.With this important statement in mind I then did a little calculation this evening:
CS 767-300/Aircraft.cfg:
wing_span=156.083333 (feet) = 47.55 m. /2 = R23.78 m.
I then checked the wing span of a real 767-300 and found that the 156 feet CS 767-300/Aircraft.cfg is correct.
Then I checked AFCAD files via ADE for both FSX stock airports and from several addon airports - it turned out that ALL the airports Medium parking radius are set to 23 m. Period!!!
In other words, 0,78 m too small in order to accept the CS 767-300 magnificent and true 47.55 m. wingspan!
