Graphics issue with Airport lots I made

I have been working on some airport lots (B767 and A340 gates) and Im getting this weird graphics bug. In game and in the lot editor when Im looking at them from a certain angle the planes look like theyre on top of the jetway. And from another angle it looks like the jetway is on top of the concourse pieces.

Here are some pictures of what Im talking about:

    So does anyone have any ideas on whats causing this or know how to fix it? Ive tried changing the height of the prop and that doesnt help.

    I see a gap where it sits next to the building, so being high would make it look ok from other angles. If you lower it and move it toward the building, the building roof should hide it.

    Something I haven't noticed yet with the jetway lots.  Maybe you should use another style of terminal with that jetway...

    Did you make the A340?  If so its a bit bright, you can't see any windows.  Try darkening that texture a bit.  Good luck!

    EDIT: Oh, and the side views of the 767 and the A340--it doesn't look right, but thats because proper LODs weren't made for these models, unlike the ACE pack where each plane comes with its own jetway rather than separately BATting the jetway and the aircraft.

    I've tried it with the other types of terminals from the RMIP pack and it still does the same thing.

    And no that A340 isnt mine, I downloaded it from a link I saw in a thread about various plane props available. 

    How could I fix the LOD problem with the planes?

    Unfortunately, you can't do that.  You can only change the LODs in the BAT.  You could contact Kumba (the person who made the 767s).  I don't know who made the A340s... probably a Japanese BATter.

    Ok I'll go ahead and contact Kumba about it. Thanks for the help.
