Title: EGLL - Aerosoft - GSX Level 2. Fully finnished configuration available here
Post by: cartayna on December 09, 2018, 01:09:48 am
1.Jetways and bridges addded. All parking postions tested. No errors no matter what plane you use, size or door (1L on S & M. 1L, 2L and sometimes 3L on HEAVY).
      2. Pushbacks for gates AND Parkings:
          a. More realistic (adding Facing North, south, ect.. on the choice of pushbacks!!!). This way you do not have to think too much when the ATC tells you to place the plane heading ....
          b. Fixed the pushbacks that i detected to be wrong.
          c. Long pushbacks now specify on which Lane you land and close to which parking place.
       3. If the scenery has a docking system that has conflict with your starting position when entering the Sim (Too far, etc), is replaced by a GSX2 docking device.  If it doesn't, one is added. Both in Gates AND parkings (where possible)
       4. Double Jetways added when possible. In scneries that you can remove fixed jetways, I show you how.
       5. Vehicles in position.

For some reason, despite following the instructions I seem to have some missing jetways in T5, from 562 to 565, as much as I can determine.

ook, make sure once you enter the simulator to go to the Add-on Menu > Coautl settings > Restart Coautl and rebuild airport cache. After doing this, if you don’t see all the jetways, restart the Couatl 2-3 times or until ALL jetways show on the scenery.
this is a general recomendation for GSX and its coualt engine...

Did it, many times. Those four jetways don't appear. Also, they seem to have no entry in the .ini file...

Those sceneries were part of the very first ones I did, and updates came after that, instructions were very basic and I am working on an update of those.
Those scenery configurations were done without a sode installed in them. So if you had SODE on, yeap, is a great idea to turn it off.

I would like to come back to the question I asked in your main thread: if I want to use this new release for EGLL, do I first have to run the SODE-off.bat coming with the SODE update from SimWings? Or does it run even when the SODE update is used? Thanks again for clarification...

SOde has to be off. you can do it by using that aplication or by going to the xml folder of sode an set to ".off" the xml of EGLL.

what runway configuration of the scnery configurator are you running? also, out of the 6 configurations i offer, which are you using?

Hello. In the config, for the sake of simplicity I always use the "BOTH" option, and Europier is ACTIVE. Therefore, I am using your EUROPIER ACTIVE & BOTH RUNWAYS configuration files.

Seriously man, don't apologize! With the massive contribution you've been making, we owe you a huge thanks for all your time and effort and it certainly can happen that once in a while bugs go unnoticed. Just in EGLL, there are over hundred jetways... Thank you so much for checking and fixing it, I will test it right now and report back! Once again, thank you so much!

Hello Sir.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Uploaded latest from your Dropbox re egll, restarted coualt a number of times, deactivated SODE.. I am not showing any jetways at all.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Please disregard previous, got it working. It was the ini file not speaking to the afcad. Thank you for the great work you do.

fantastic! yeap, that is a classic!
when you dont see my jetways can ONLY be 2 things, this case is one of them, and the other is when you see GSX2 jetways for a split of a second and disapear... that is the SODE of the scenery that is on the way.  There you must set to .off the .xml file corresponding to that scenery, on the sode xml folder.
cheers

Thanks for your amazing contributions!

Is there any quick way to replace the jetways with non-glass ones? As a Heathrow local it bugs me to see all jettys as glass where in reality all of them are metal. I would really like to use your profile but not sure how to best go about this other than manually replacing all the jetways with metal ones? Thanks!

hi there! unfortunatelly for me is not that easy. Not if all the jetways have not the same size, or height. plus doing global changes such as that one, has a tendency to screw up other things such as liveries, and other details.

Having said this, the quickest way is to wait for me a bit, to bring EGLL to v4. V4 brings allways a metal and a glass when the real life jetways are metal. I am in the process of doing an upgrade to the last 30% of the sceneries that are not yet v4 at the same time that i am working on v5. i will move up on the list EGLL so you can have it this comming week.

cheers

Hi Cartayna,

Thank you very much for your many contributions! I have encountered a few errors with jetways not showing up in your latest release for EGLL (v5). I am in the process of trouble shooting the issue:
The EGLL FsDreamteam folder has a sub folder that has a spelling error Excclude instead of Exclude... is that intentional?

In my Aerosoft EGLL scenery folder, I only have a EGLL_LIB-JetwayAnim.BGL file, not a EGLL_LIB-Jetway.BGL as described in the instruction manual.

Regards
Thomas

Hello Thomas,
You are welcome.
Thanks for reporting the Eclude typo. I think no one noticed because most of everyone is actually using the replacing SODE rather than the old CTRLJ, thus then the exclude has no effect. Needles to say that I have corrected it. I stopped adding a while ago the exclude files for it really does not make any sense, since is always better to install my ini file and then go to your GSX Control Panel and press COMPILE. this way if it needs to have exclusions it will create such.
This EGLL is a bit of a nightmare since some of you have installed the SODE.bat and some not. Have you? if not, i recommend you do. This SODE package is in the Simwings page: http://www.sim-wings.com/SUPPORT_SODE.htm (http://www.sim-wings.com/SUPPORT_SODE.htm).  If you check the SODE.bat program (editing it), you will see that it is indeed called EGLL_LIB-Jetway.bgl a file to be asked to be deleted:

echo off
Echo Stop P3D if running and please WAIT until the P3D Program is fully unloaded!!!
ECHO WARNING: SODE 1.6.4 or highter needed!
pause
del ..\SCENERY\EGLL_LIB-Jetways.BGL
del ..\SCENERY\EGLL_OBJ-Docking.BGL
copy .\Files\EGLL_LIB-Jetways-SODE.BGL ..\SCENERY
copy .\Files\EGLL_OBJ-Docking-SODE.BGL ..\SCENERY
copy .\Files\AJS_EGLL_SODE.XML %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\12bPilot\SODE\xml
xcopy .\Simobjects\*.* %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\12bPilot\SODE\Simobjects\*.* /S /q
ECHO SODE Jetways activated!
pause

Thus if you do not have this file is because you have already installed the SODE for this scenery. Go to 12bpilot>xml and look for the sode file for Heathrow: "AJS_EGLL_SODE.XML". Set this to .off.
Let me know how it goes.

Also Thomas, when someone reports a glitch that i might have the slightest doubt, i uninstall the scenery, install, follow the instructions,and test.
I did find the file EGLL_LIB-Jetways.BGL on the scenery folder after installing and running the sode.bat, thus: A) I turned it .off. B)made sure that the ini had the afcad that i had selected in the EGLL configurator, C) set the xml of the sode folder to .off and it has all the jetways. make sure you do a fresh install for if you dont find this bgl it can only be that you are running a different scenery other than simwings EGLL v110.
cheers.

Hi everybody,

Today I tried to install the Cartayna file for EGLL according to instructions. I still use the FSX SP2.
Unfortunately, no jetways are displayed. Couatl restarted a few times and rebuilded the airport cache. Nothing.
I can not disable SODE because I have no entry for EGLL there.
Maybe a problem with the AFCAD?
Help welcome.

regards joerg
