Title: DFW Jet-ways
Post by: USAIRBRO on January 03, 2021, 04:04:55 am

I recently flew into DFW airport and I noticed there is only one jet-way. I have not changed or replaced the AFCAD in anyway. I am using Prepar 3D Version 3. I ran the FSDT live update twice, and received the same thing. Can any flightsimers help me out?

Greetings,

I would also like to add that suddenly all of my KDFW
jetways are now missing.

I downloaded a new installer from the FSDT web site and
reinstalled and ran the fsdt updater with no results.

I am interested to know what has changed in the latest
fsdt updater that may have caused this problem.

I have added nothing new to my system and had no problem
with the last time I used this airport which was on 12/17/2020

Something has somehow changed would appreciate
any suggestions on what may need to be done to correct.

I am using P3D v4.5 if this is any help
Thank you for the advice

This is what Virtuali sent me, I hope it helps you.

Be sure you remove any customization you might have done before we added SODE jetways from the %APPDATA%VirtualiGSX folder, any file with a name starting with KDFW*-xxxx.INI should be removed, then either choose "Restart Couatl" or just start the sim, if you removed the file when it wasn't open.

Thanks, I was having the same issue, and removing the file restored the jetways.

Assuming what you looked for is exactly what you typed here, it's normal you won't find it, because you forgot the backslashes. It's

%APPDATA%\VIRTUALI\GSX

After searching for this on my PC it has told me "No items match your search". So what do I need to do now.

Nobody said you had to "search" for this, as it were a filename. You just OPEN %APPDATA%\VIRTUALI\GSX and it will auto-magically open the right folder for you.

With "open", I mean either type that (and then Enter) in a Windows Explorer address bar OR type it (and then Enter) in the Search area right next to the Windows logo on the left of the screen.

the %APPDATA% ( or %PROGRAMDATA% or %LOCALAPPDATA% ) it's a standard Windows shortcut that will work on every PC to indicate folders that are depending on your user account so, instead of saying:

C:\Users\YOURSERNAME\AppData\Roaming, which might confuse you understanding "YOURUSERNAME" should be replaced with your user name, without even mentioning you might have installed Windows on a drive other than C:\

We can just say:

%APPDATA%

And will work everywhere, regardless of your user name or the letter of the disk you are booting Windows from.
