Title: "Jetway will not animate???
Post by: Carbonbell on July 24, 2019, 03:06:22 pm
After a fresh install and customization of a few gates at EGLL, when I attempt to operate the jetways I receive the following message.
"SODE is unavailable, jetways will not animate"
Please advise what I am doing wrong.
Thank you in advance.
David.

Do you still have the error after starting the sim, and choosing "Operate jetways" from the GSX menu ?

Thank you for your reply. I do still receive this message when attempting to use the jetways from the GSX menu.

Have you tested with GSX is the jetways were placed in a position that would work with the current airplane ?

Yes.  The jetways I've used are defiantly large enough to accommodate the PMDG T7 at gate 536 at EGLL.  Still receiving the same message.
Thank you for your prompt reply.

That's not what I asked. I asked if the "Test" function in the GSX editor works. Do you hear the "dign" sound when pressing the 5 key on the numpad when a jetway is selected for editing ?

Please forgive me.  I do not hear any ding when testing the jetways.

So you see the message saying the jetway won't work instead ?

I am afraid I do not get any message when making the jetway customization.  I have had them in the past prior to my fresh install.
I also do not have the option to use the "Jetway Exclusion" box since I re-installed.
Regards.
David.

I am also getting the same message at OMDB and will assume that this will be the same for all airports.
Please advise.

Check this out for an error message.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Judging from your stopping communication with me, I can only assume that you have no solution to my issues with your product Umberto.
Poor customer service I’m afraid to say.

Since you have been clearly followed very thoroughly so far, with multiple replies, complaining about a supposed lack of reply for about 24 hours, it's simply wrong.

I cannot reproduce your error, and nobody has ever reported the same error so, it seems you are doing something very unusual or unexpected. Please post your GSX .INI file and try to describe, exactly, what you did.

To answer you other questions, my concern was that there was continued dialogue between yourself and me and then it abruptly stopped.
"What I did?" Was a fresh P3D install which included GSX.  GSX is now the only add-on that is giving me issues.  That's precisely what I did. An now I am asking for support for just one of the products that I have personally spent hundreds of dollars on.  That's all.  No offence intended Umberto.
Ciao ciao.
Davide.

And finally, when I attempt to add a jetway in the customization, I jet a pop up message stating the following:
The add-on <unknown> is causing Couatl Scripting Engine to restart.  Please download and install the latest Stand-Alone Add-on Manager from www.fsdreamteam...
Very frustrating to say the least.

Ive re-installed and deleted a couple of times.  All GSX files come up as .pye files.  Is this correct?  If not, what must I do to rectify the situation?
Thanks.

Of course not. That's your Couatladdons.INI file. I asked for your own GSX .INI file for the airport you are customizing.
Title: Re: "Jetway will not animate???
Post by: Carbonbell on July 31, 2019, 03:53:28 pm
There is no GSX ini file for the airport I am trying to customize.  That's my point.  I am unable to customize it.

So back to the original error message, which is not detailed enough, because Logging is not enabled. Enable Logging in the GSX Settings, and check the error in the %APPDATA%\Couatl.LOG file.

Here is to hoping that this is both the correct information you require and that you will e able to direct me how to rectify the situation I am experiencing.
I've tried to send it as an attachment so please let me know if it has not gone through to you.

Yes, now the error is clear but, unfortunately, I cannot replicate it without further data.

- Is the error happening only on a specific airport ?

- If yes, which kind of jetways the airport comes with, by default ?

It is happening at most add-on airports although, I have not confirmed with every single one.  Most notably it happens at Sim-Wings London Heathrow.

A 3rd party airport ( if this is what you use ), can come with a variety of jetway types:

- Static

- Default ( CTRL+J )

- SODE

There's a huge difference between those types, which is very important to understand how GSX L2 works and, of course, when something like an error happens, is important to know which is the case to troubleshoot it.

So I have both SODE (at WSSS & KSFO FlightBean) for example but at Sim-Wings EGLL, I only have default jetway's.  I am able to use the service vehicles there though.  But once I attempt to customize the jetway at a particular gate, I get the error message sent earlier.  Ofter that, I am not able to use any aspect of GSX at the gate.

This is not very clear. Are you saying you cannot use any of the GSX features *everywhere* or just on that airport you were trying to customize without success ?

Easy solution. If you go to the following link, they already have a SODE configuration for EGLL. Just download it and follow the instructions to install it, that'll save you a lot of time.

I understand it is confusing.  And frustrating.If I attempt to customize a jetway at gate 536  at EGLL for example, Once i get into the customization setting, and press "apply", that is when I get the error screen which I pasted earlier.  Onto of that, I then am no longer able to utilize any aspect of GSX at gate 536 at EGLL.  Nothing.  No catering etc.  I am not even able to get the option screen to do so.

See my above post, please. I'm trying to save you some time here. I mean, I suppose you can manually add each SODE jetway in yourself if you really want to do that, but they already have a SODE jetway configuration available, as I linked above.

Could you please try Cartanya GSX configuration for EGLL ?

be sure you remove yours before installing this one.
