Hello Umberto,
Today did a flight to Billund in P3Dv4 (Vidan Design v1.02). The scenery has SODE jetways included and they do work. However, when arrived at the gate GSX does not recognize the SODE jetways, so I need to use SODE to operate the jetways. Also stairs are by default placed at door L1 (I removed them with the config tool) for all gates with jetways.
Is this something that can be fixed in a future update?
Thanks,
Erik

There's no reason GSX won't work with a 3rd party scenery with SODE jetways, since it has been designed to recognize such jetways.
Is this scenery made using the latest SODE jetway SDK ? If it's using a very early version, it's possible jetways might not be recognized.
-
I'll ask over the Vidan forum, thanks!

For who is interested; I raised the topic here: http://vidandesign.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&p=3168&sid=d0572c1f7f38740d79fd3dd2368346ca#p3168 No reply unfortunately

I'm having the same issue... also have the same problem with Drzeweicki Design newly released NYC Airport package...
-
Strange indeed... And no reply over at the Vidan forum. I do not own the DD packages (was too disappointed with v1) so can't test that one out.

Okay... I've been digging around a little with Vidan Design EKBI...
It seems that GSX is working correctly but for some reason, the scenery itself is incorrectly configured. Perhaps Umberto can shed some light on what this means...
I found this in SODE.log file:
[15:31:33.794] DEBUG SODE.FSLOOP : [API::TRIGGER] Received Trigger Client Data: ObjID=8, DoorDesignator='1L', OwnFlag=0, DoorDataOverrideFlag=1, Mode=1
[15:31:33.794] WARN SODE.FSLOOP : [JETWAY CONTROL SYSTEM] No 'jetway.cfg' found. Unable to move Jetway...
Something in the scenery is missing, because I assume that the API::TRIGGER line means, that GSX 'asks' the SODE jetway to connect - but SODE throws an error back, saying it can't find a 'jetway.cfg' file... Hence, the jetway won't move...
I guess, I'll have to see if Vidan Design will take a look at this...

I just got a reply back from the SODE Support Forums and it's a problem with GSX, which apparently tries to call a static jetway.

Apparently (I've highlighted the problem areas/lines in bold) you can see, that API::TRIGGER tries to call a static jetway (ID=8) and fails...
I'd assume it's something which needs to be fixed in GSX or is it a scenery issue?
-
Interesting find! Let's hope it can be resolved.
-
We'll surely have a look at this.
-
Thanks Virtuali,
I have identical issues with Taxi2Gate LFPG and Drzeweicki Design NYC Package v2.
Haven't tested other sceneries... FSDT sceneries work correctly, FlightBeam KMSP and Aerosoft Oslo 2.0 works too...
I'll be standing by...
-
I seem to have this problem also with DD KEWR with SODE 1.5.3.
I am in the process of migrating from P3D v3.4 to v4, so hoping for a fix.

We'll surely have a look at this.
Any news Umberto?

Any news Umberto?
I'm on vacation until August 22nd, and so is the other main GSX developer so, we still haven't found the chance to verify this.

No problem, enjoy your holiday 8)

Small bump
-
same Problem at Billund. Anyone found a solution?

I'm fairly certain, that this is resolved.
As far as I remember, I don't have the issue anymore - I think I got help from the SODE developer, but I can't seem to find (or remember) the solution...

Yes, I know... That topic doesn't provide the answer fully... it was (for some reason) cut short.
Perhaps, the good and only Umberto can help out if he can remember the solution?
-
Thanks" @virtuali any suggestions?

This thread was for more than a year ago, and any problem that GSX might have had with SODE jetways in the past has surely been fixed. In addition to that, the log posted clearly indicates there's a problem with that scenery jetway:
This line in the SODE log:
"No 'jetway.cfg' found. Unable to move Jetway..."
Shows a file which is required to create a problem SODE jetway was missing so, clearly, it cannot be a GSX problem, since that file is supposed to be provided with every SODE jetway, otherwise it will never work.
-
The issue is that the SODE xml file for EKBI is incorrectly setup.
If You open up the VidanDesign_EBKI_Stands.xml then You will see that the AfcadGateName="PARKING", whereas it should be AfcadGateName="GATE" for all Gates.
There is a fix on the Vidan Design Forum.... and I just confirmed it works.
