Parking at the gate

I landed at KSEA and taxied to B8 with my PMDG SWA 737 with winglets. The only thing that was a little wrong was the guy that parks you had me stopping short of where my 737 should stop to line up with the gate. But that's not a real big deal. This is a great piece of scenery. I have all the other's except KMAI. I don't fly in there much. SWA flies into KFLL. But that was my observation. I fixed the crossing rwy problem and I found a spot by fdx to park their feeder flights I have.

Did a flight with my PMDG 747 and it parked just right with the parking guy. I have my 747 set at 43m and my 737 set at 23m. But it's nice scenery.

The 43m radius will have nothing to do with the marshaller. It will only be used by ATC to assign you a gate. The marshaller 'reacts' with the viewpoint set in the aircraft.cfg, which is directly tied to the model's reference datum. You can adjust the longitudinal figure (larger to move forward in most cases, smaller to move rearward) until you get the results you want. Be aware, this can be tedious.
