Do I have to uninstall the old first?
« on: May 31, 2017, 09:51:58 pm »
Just wanted to know if I can just run the latest update, or do I have to completely uninstall the old KLAS first?

No, we haven't said anything of the sort. If you have KLAS installed, it would be migrated to the new shared folder location, and updated to the latest version during the process.

Thanks, and I never said you guys said anything of the sort, I was just simply asking if it was necessary to uninstall the older version since I don't have P3D v4, I'm sticking to v3 for some time to come.

I own both GSX and KLAS. How do I update the product? I am not good at the files stuff and rely on the developer making it ez for folks like me.

Download and install the current GSX installer, it should upgrade KLAS too. If not, install KLAS too, using the current installer.

Hi I updated KLAS but now my gates don't work. I downloaded the new installer and it updated the airport but, no working gates. I tried to download GSX and it wants me to uninstall sode 1.4.2 before I continue but I can't find it (sode) anywhere. I went to KLAX and the gates worked fine. I did what you told me to do but, it didn't work.

I need help guys. Thanks Mike

Since KLAS uses SODE for animated jetways now, and requires SODE 1.5.0, they won't work until you remove the 1.4.2 version and install the one that comes with GSX (1.5.1)

Uninstall SODE from the Windows Control Panel, it's under "Simobjects Display Engine"

I can't find sode on my computer. The only sode I can find is in "12bPilot." Does this mean I must uninstall 12bPilot first? There is no uninstall option for this so I would have to delete it.

Thanks Mike

Did you find "Simobjects Display Engine" in the Control Panel? If so, that's it. 12bPilot is the developer, I believe.

Thanks for getting back to me. I found the 12bPilot and deleted the sim objects display engin file. I then downloaded GSX and when trying to install it I get a message saying I need to "uninstall sode 1.4.2"  When that didn't work I deleted the entire file and still got the message "uninstall sode 1.4.2........Is there a hidden sode 1.4.2 somewhere in other files?

Thanks for your help.... Mike

Try to reinstall SODE 1.4.2:

And then Uninstall it.
