In P3D V4.3 I must be doing something wrong, because at a default airport I would like to customize, the default gates are at normal height, but in the GSX config, when I select disable default gates, the replacement GSX gates are sitting about 50 feet above the plane. When I restore the default gates, they return to normal height. Being a default airport there is no addon AFCAD. I'm not quite sure what to do. Any advice will be appreciated.

Edit - I've been scouring folders in P3d to see if something is interfering with this airport and I find that the cause might be ORBX Vector. For this particular airport (MROC) Vector creates an artificial altitude to have the airport appear correctly. Somehow, GSX reads that artificial elevation rather than the actual ground elevation, therefore the default gates are at ground level and the GSX gates are at the higher altitude. How to solve that one...hmmm...

May be that is why i see this:

I was trying to add a jetway to Punta Cana.... it worked(apparently), but then there is a weird layer when i move my "eye-point-of-view". At the end removed to normal Ctrl+J jetways and kept scenery as originally created... It is good to have the SODE Jetway, but its bringing some other problems up....
Id tell the scenery developers to add SODE Jetways themselves while i fly! jajaja
Will test more tomorrow... Happy Flying! 8)

Well, i was happy to see the jetway in MDPC B25, but after removing it and reloading MDPC, i see this wall from ground up to the space...

I solvet it by deleting the MDPC file in the Virtuali folder and after restarting i had to move MDPC up in the scenery library... and worked... no more wall..... Strange... hope this info is usefull, i bet i just need to practice some more and get the hang of the new program.

Good morning.
I also have errors in the placement level of jetways. In the example there is the Lisbon airport (LPPT) by default. And in this case there is no correction by FTX Vector.
-
Do you have something from OrbX installed ? Does the problem goes away with OrbX disabled ?

In the case of MROC, disabling Orbx vector removes the problem and the GSX gates appear at ground level. However, the airport looks terrible as vector integrates it into FTX Global and South America LC, so switching off vector is not an option. Too bad, because the terminal and everything else is at the correct level, only the new GSX gates are up high. For now I have just shut off the GSX gates at that airport. Other airports in the area are fine like MRLB, where the GSX gates appear perfectly even with ORBX on.

Has GSX loaded the correct AFCAD file at the problematic airport ?
-
In my case, LPTP, if I deactivate ORBX also the jetways are seen on your site. But as you said earlier that is not the solution.
-
I'll repeat the question again: has GSX loaded the correct AFCAD file at the problematic airport ?
-
Excuse my ignorance. How do you know this?
-
By opening the GSX parking customization page, the name of the AFCAD is show in the first lines of the window.
-
Thank you. Yes, if it appears loaded. Now I have to be absent and I will not be able to keep up with your quick answers and questions.
-
Do you have any news about the adjustment problem of elevation of the jetways?
-
The solution is in the AFCAD. See my other post:

Hi what is the solution for this? I dont know how to edit AFCAD files, I need help please to fix this.
Thanks.

The Problem has been asked and solved many times: You find your solution in this trhead http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,20943.0.html

This is an old thread, which is now obsolete, since GSX now has a feature to fix elevation conflicts in AFCAD files. The "Airport Elevation" in the top-right of the GSX scenery customization page. By clicking the small "Airplane" icon, it will read the actual elevation from the sim, and save it back in the GSX customization file.
