Title: SODE wont dock from FSDT menu
Post by: asegm08 on June 05, 2017, 07:29:54 pm

Hey Umberto. I am having an issue with GSX. When I select dock on GSX with the FSDT menu it says no jetways at this stand. But if I do the Tab-S and do it that way then SODE responds. What should I try to have the GSX menu dock it. Its also triggering the stairs in the front door.

You don't say which scenery you use but, if you are using a 3rd party scenery with SODE jetways, try launching the FSDT Live Update, so it will get an updated Couatl.exe that should fix this.

It's pretty much in any SODE airport. KIAH, KLGA, KATL.

But have you tried doing a Live Update ? It should download an updated Couatl.exe, which is supposed to fix this.

Tried yesterday before posting. I will try this morning again.

Ran the live updater this morning, still can't get SODE to interface with the GSX menu at any non-FSDT airport.

UPDATE: It works at Drzewiecki Design KDCA, but everywhere else (tried KSLC, KATL, KLGA, LFPG, and LEBL) I get the message "SODE Connection Lost" when trying to use the jetways through the GSX menu.

Maybe try manually downloading the latest version of GSX and reinstalling it.
It will also install SODE 1.5.1, which is the very latest version.

I did it last night and it worked for me!  :)
True I haven't tested all my SODE-supported airports yet, but it worked at the two I tried.

If you ran the Live Update, and got the new Couatl.exe, this shouldn't happen. Of course, you MUST be sure you have SODE 1.5.1 installed, which comes either in the current GSX installer, or can be downloaded separately.

Umberto,

Just for information:
Only running Live Update is not enough, you must make a new installation of GSX.

I confirm that running Live Update it's enough, since the problem is fixed by an updated Couatl.exe, which will be downloaded by the Live Update.

If the sim is not running, of course...
