My version of **GSX** user defined jetways not showing [SOLVED!]
737SimGuy:
Hi again,
Figured I should start a different thread since my issue is a bit different. None of my previously working custom GSX jetways show since the last Live Updater run and I DO NOT get any red X's.. The DSK jetways are still listed in the ini file in the GSX folder, but they do not show in scenery. If I try to add a new jetway there is no option in the GSX UI anymore to select which jetway version to use, and when clicking APPLY there is no new jetway showing.
I know you will say it is nothing to do with GSX, but could you possibly point me in the direction of what kind of thing in a scenery would cause this? What I should look for?
P3D 5.0HF2
Win 10 20H2
SODE 1.71 + VDGS
nVidia Titan latest driver as of yesterday
Aerosoft LFBO and MKS Vagar
Thank you,
James

The last update cannot possibly have anything to do with you losing jetways on a 3rd party airport that comes with its own SODE jetways.

That means SODE *has* found the SODE jetways the scenery comes with, because you do have both a SODE XML file *and* the actual objects, so SODE is not reporting any errors.

Of course they don't. If a scenery comes with their own SODE jetways, GSX won't try to create its own, even if you already have an .INI file for it. This is to prevent double jetways if a scenery that initially didn't had its SODE jetways is subsequently updated or reconfigured to have them.

Of course you can't. If a scenery comes with their own SODE jetways, GSX won't allow you to create new GSX ones. The ONLY way to let GSX create its own jetways, on a scenery that comes with its own SODE jetways is to remove the SODE XML file for that scenery in the C:\ProgramData\12bpilot\XML folder.

Of course it doesn't have anything to do with GSX. You probably removed the SODE XML file when you originally made the GSX customization, now you must have either reinstalled or updated that scenery or ran its configuration, or any other action that caused the SODE XML file the scenery came with to be back, so you forgot you have to remove it again before you can replace jetways with GSX.
And no, I assure you the Live Update cannot possibly have anything to do with this, we don't touch *any* file from other developer sceneries, that is certain.

Finally I thought we were getting somewhere but sadly there is no xml file for LFBO in \ProgramData\12bpilot\XML folder. :-(
Guess I will give up. Thanks for trying..

But you see some jetways or not ?

None. Zero. Zip. Nada.
The original jetways were all done in one object and I removed them using ADE. Then I added a GSX jetway using your UI one by one for each gate. This worked beautifully for a long time, but suddenly no jetways. I assumed it was a Live Update that caused them to disappear but you say that's impossible. I did not re-install the scenery. So I do not know what caused it. There is no xml for LFBO in the SODE\xml folder nor anywhere else on my drive that I can find. My lfbo.ini file is still in GSX folder with appropriate AFCAD filename. The gate list within GSX shows "Gate 123/JS" for example. I cannot add any jetways. I will try other non-SODE airports today to see if I can add a jetway that shows in the scenery.
