Why do the fingers at gates now have a circular shape at the end? Is that a bug?

In German there are these terms for the jet bridge:
- Fluggastbrücke (= passenger boarding bridge)
- Passagierbrücke (= passenger boarding bridge)
- Finger (= finger)
- Rüssel (= trunk) -

Why are you acting like it’s a big deal. Just answer the question.

I've noticed this too. It's present at most parking positions without static models (those gates still fully generate) but the gates which are vacant are round at the end and don't have the flat edge or door used to connect to the aircraft. Why is this?
Also, will my request for parking positions take time to fulfill?

Hey,could you maybe take a screen shot of this "glitch" with the fingers (terminal or jet brides) It would be nice to see what circlular shape you're referring to.

It's only called "Finger" in the German language. Internationally it's known as passenger bridge or jet bridge.
